Real Estate and Construction Industry

Built spaces have accompanied us since time immemorial. We spend a lot of time in them, move within them daily. And we rely on them: the ground beneath our feet, the roof over our heads, and the proverbial four walls around us. Whether public, semi-public, or private, buildings are living spaces. Their dimensions, layout, substance, haptics, and atmosphere affect us.

Why We Think This Way About Spaces

Because some of our real estate consultants are also experienced architects and skilled project developers. Even our lawyers and financial experts mostly have a real estate background. Therefore, real estate is much more to us than just an economic asset.

We Know Real Estate. And We Know the Business.

We see real estate as complex organisms, involving a much more specific interplay than any other product. That’s why we offer comprehensive advice on your property with an interdisciplinary approach and profound knowledge: from planning to financing and marketing.

Sudden, Rapid, Complex: The Pain Points of the Industry

Germany’s construction and real estate sector has long benefited from a golden era. That era is over. The increasing insolvency risk and the growing need for restructuring rest on several pillars:

• The pandemic already fueled material shortages and supply chain disruptions.
• Online shopping and changing work practices lead to empty city centers and structural adjustments in office markets.
• Rapidly rising interest rates and construction costs exacerbate the situation. Regulatory requirements are continuously growing in financing, taxonomy, planning, and construction.
• Meeting ESG criteria is urgent, alongside integrating new technologies.
• Acute skill and labor shortages make the situation more difficult.
