Location Analysis & Advice – the Foundation for Successful Commercial Decisions
Location is the backbone of every commercial property. Whether shop, office, warehouse or practice – the quality of the location largely determines success or failure. That is why a well-founded location analysis is not an optional extra but a must. At FrankenImmo we look not only at the position on the map, but at all relevant parameters – economic, transport-related, socio-demographic and future-oriented.

Key points at a glance
- The location decides whether a commercial property succeeds or fails.
- We analyse the macro and micro location, demographics, future prospects and risks.
- The basis is geodata, municipal data and data from chambers of commerce and funding bodies.
- Typical questions: Does the use suit the location? What rent is realistic? Is a change of use worthwhile?
- The analysis provides a sound basis for decisions by buyers, tenants, developers and investors.
Why Is Location Analysis So Important?
A good space in the wrong place is a lost investment. The best property achieves nothing if the target group or accessibility is missing. A well-founded analysis secures long-term income and security of use.
We do not just analyse the current situation – we assess development trends, infrastructural potential and possible risks. This gives buyers, tenants, developers and investors certainty in their decisions.
Our Analysis Modules – Individual and Data-Driven
- Macro-location analysis: regional economy, infrastructure, distribution of sectors
- Micro-location analysis: footfall, parking, accessibility, competition, synergies
- Demographics & target groups: age structure, income, education, purchasing power
- Future prospects: potential development, planned building projects, urban development plans
- Risk assessment: vacancy trends, planning permission situation, conflicts of use
We work with geodata, mapping software, municipal databases, chambers of commerce and funding bodies.

How a Location Analysis Works
| Step | Content | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Defining objectives | use, target group, time horizon, budget | a clear question |
| Data collection | traffic, purchasing power, competition, the municipality's plans | a data basis |
| Site visit | visibility, access, parking, surroundings | an impression on site |
| Assessment | strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, risks | a location profile |
| Recommendation | use, rent, investment required | a basis for the decision |
The duration depends on the scope – a short analysis for a specific space is often ready within a few weeks.
