Our history in milestones

December 2018

The new Nuremberg business park "Auf AEG" attracts new tenants. Approx. 19,000 m² were leased to Siemens Postal, Parcel & Airport Logistics (SPPAL). The SPPAL locations in Nuremberg and Fürth will be merged "Auf AEG". At the same time, contracts were signed with the traditional Nuremberg company Eschenbach Optik for more than 3,500 m² of rental space and with the Bavarian Chamber of Architects. Existing contracts with tenants Electrolux, Energiecampus Nürnberg and the state of Bavaria were extended. This means that almost all areas of the area are occupied.
October 2017
At the Holm in Flensburg another building ensemble of the Nord-Ostsee-Sparkasse was acquired. In the 1a location, approx. 2,500 sqm of retail space will be settled in the future.
November 2016
The city of Nuremberg awards the architectural award for outstanding achievements at the design of structural environment in urban areas as well as the sustainability of single buildings in accordance with the location. The explanation states: „Auf AEG outstandingly shows the revitalization of a former industrial district that lives on in his buildings and the new name. While preserving the better part of the high-quality industrial buildings and creating new, partially already greened courtyards a versatile generous developed quarter for production, trade, banking industry, education and research institutions was successfully created – in skilled interaction of a courageous project developer and the city of Nuremberg. The area which had been fenced for 90 years – in that time part of the working biography of many citizens of Nuremberg - now has changed to an open vivid part of town that equally offers space for ambitious manufacturing and service companies and an alternative art and cultural scene.
February 2016
The historical Wirkbau site at the centre of Chemnitz has changed hands. MIB has acquired the former factory premises. As a specialist for former industrial properties, MIB Coloured Fields GmbH, a subsidiary of MIB AG, will continue to develop the site over the long term. MIB Coloured Fields GmbH has already revitalised two large industrial wastelands (Spinnerei in Leipzig and the former AEG factory in Nuremberg) and turned them into vibrant districts.
March 2015
The first part of the Neue Mitte Fürth centre has been opened. Fürth’s mayor, Dr Thomas Jung, cut through the red tape at 10 a.m. on Thursday 12 March to enable shoppers to enter the first section. Visitors streamed into the stores operated by C&A, Mengin, “dm”, “hunkemöller”, s.Oliver and the Samocca café on the four opening days up to and including Sunday. The centre of Fürth, which also hosted the spring market at the same time, attracted a huge rush of visitors from the town and its surrounding area.
February 2015
Acquisition of a factory from the 19th century
„Kraftwerk Bille“, a late 19th century factory complex, is located in the industrial east of Hamburg, in Hammerbrook. Following the development of the “HafenCity” the central location of Hammerbrook gets more and more into focus of urban planning and becomes part of a long-term development project under the heading “space for urban pioneers”. The vicinity to the city center, the attractive waterfront location and numerous green spaces promise manifold perspectives.
August 2014
