FORMER GERMAN BASES

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@igc.org>]

PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN FORMER MILITARY BASES.
NEW INTERNET RESOURCE FOR INVESTORS.

Former military bases for sale in Germany are now on the World Wide
Web, providing investors around the world with a new resource for
finding land for commercial and housing developments. The Bonn
International Center for Conversion (BICC), a non-profit organization
sponsored by the North-Rhine Westphalian Government, released its
`Marketing Homepage' for conversion of former military sites earlier
this month. The goal of the project is to attract the attention of
potential investors to industrial real estate and provide a contact
person for their initial inquiries in the respective community.
Finding investors in former military lands is a common problem in
German communities, where more than 4000 sites have closed. The BICC
homepage, ConverNet (http://bicc.uni-bonn.de), is a highly regarded
resource for the exchange of information regarding aspects of
conversion. The new Marketing Homepage is an extension of the
ConverNet, which contains detailed information on the reuse and
redevelopment of former military bases around the world.
