Contipark acquires two underground car parks in Wesel

The two underground car parks in the shadow of the Willibordi Cathedral on the Grosser Markt and in the immediate vicinity of the Marien-Hospital in Magermannstraße have been operated by Contipark since 2008. On average, 90,000 short-term parkers use the underground car park at Grosser Markt on a plot of 4,311 m2 per year – the Magermannstraße underground car park is used by over 100 long-term parkers.

Contipark has now also acquired the two car parks in the Hanseatic city on the Lower Rhine. “Acquiring ownership is part of our corporate strategy, because we are committed to the long term. This is the only way we can offer our customers a stable price structure and continuous service in the long term,” says Michael Kesseler, Managing Director of Contipark. For example, the low-cost P Card is to be introduced at the Grosser Markt. With Contipark’s own payment and access card, the company already frequently ensures a daily price of less than 5 euros at other locations. “We always plan with attractive daily or, in many cases, favourable weekly and monthly rates for our P-Card customers. And these customer-friendly rates can only really be guaranteed in our own property,” says Andreas Knops, Member of the Management Board and Head of Property Management.

Investments planned

As an initial measure, investments of around half a million euros are planned to refurbish the building fabric. E-charging points and modern parking technology with licence plate recognition are also to be installed over the next few years.
