QUALITY

We leverage our deep expertise, comprehensive market knowledge, and extensive experience in the real estate sector to align investors’ individual investment profiles with attractive properties, which we manage with a focus on value creation. Our policies and processes reflect a balance between risks and opportunities, ensuring meticulous decision-making in sustainable investments.

Our challenge lies not only in meeting but exceeding our clients’ performance expectations; this is how we measure our success!

FLEXIBLE YET FOCUSED

We create tailored investment products with attractive risk-return profiles for medium- to long-term oriented capital – such as funds, club deals, or individual investments. We specialize in commercial properties in Germany, particularly office and retail properties in the German A and B cities. Expertise and value are strengthened by investments in core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic real estate strategies.

SUSTAINABLE

As an independent partner, we believe that alignment of interests is the key to mutual success. With a focus on co-investments, our emphasis is on value-driven performance. Through a cohesive and interdisciplinary team of real estate specialists with extensive transaction experience, we deliver tangible economic success to our partners.

Our open, thorough, and goal-oriented communication is highly valued by our clients and partners and has resulted in an impressive track record with a substantial portfolio. Currently, we manage a commercial portfolio nationwide with an investment volume of approximately 900 million euros.
