Ensuring a sound decision: Volkswagen Immobilien acquires innovation campus after careful analysis by Drees & Sommer.

Volkswagen AG’s real estate subsidiary has acquired the 45,000 m2 Forum AutoVision in Wolfsburg and has been operating it since February 1, 2025. We supported the decision-making and transaction processes by undertaking comprehensive Technical Due Diligence.

Our in-depth assessment of the building complex ensured transparency regarding its technical status. The structured and thoroughly researched report contains recommended courses of action and risk assessments and supported the customer throughout the entire process – from the acquisition decision and negotiations through to the actual transaction. The vendor was Wolfsburg AG.

The Forum AutoVision comprises eight buildings – including an innovation campus for startups, a center for integrated product development (simultaneous engineering), and a research car park with 40 e-charging points and space for some 1,500 cars. The complex also includes buildings with offices and food & beverage services, and conference and event spaces.
