## FAQ
### What is HafenCity's role?
HafenCity is Europe's largest inner-city redevelopment — 157 hectares of post-2000 mixed-use development anchored by Elbphilharmonie, Spiegel-Haus, and a deep media and logistics tenant base.

### How does Hamburg compare to Berlin or Munich?
Hamburg's vacancy is materially tighter and rents are lower than Munich. Hamburg is more port- and media-tilted; Berlin is tech-tilted; Munich is finance and tech-tilted.

### Are Hamburg leases CPI-indexed?
Yes. Most German commercial leases include automatic VPI (Verbraucherpreisindex) indexation. Tenants should negotiate caps in inflationary cycles.
