New freedom for corporate solutions: We understand the mindset of corporates and professionally address the requirements in dealing with their real estate.
We have the necessary know-how to work for companies in all sectors, from high-tech to classic heavy industry. The challenges: Either the locations and real estate are a constricting corset or they are the stage and opportunity for transformation. Because not only does everything take place in the buildings, rooms and spaces - they also tie up capital and capacities and need real estate-specific know-how to be the best venue for the companies' core business.
Leveraging value
If a company’s assets comprise a high share of real estate, this leads to a significantly lower stock market valuation, as shown by a study by the University of Regensburg. According to this study, German stock corporations with large real estate portfolios trade at an average 17 percent discount to their book values.
