The partners plan to redevelop the former Gerresheimer Glassworks site into a residential scheme of 1,700 homes.

Publisher context indicates that the Glasmacherviertel property covers approximately 200,000 square metres in Gerresheim and was previously sold by PATRIZIA, with the asset acquired for a fund held by institutional investors. A separate PATRIZIA-related item in the same context notes that the firm plans a new urban quarter of more than 1,000 apartments on a former glassworks site in the same city. Those figures should be read as context from the publisher's related coverage rather than confirmed terms of the Vastint and Hines transaction.
Vastint, a purpose-led real estate investor, has previously pursued the conversion of former industrial sites into residential and mixed-use quarters, according to its own published materials. Hines, the international real estate investment and development firm, is named as the co-buyer.
