Our business areas
As an integrated company, we create sustainable real estate value – from the initial idea through implementation to long-term operation.
We combine decades of experience through different market cycles with a global perspective.
We always operate with our own capital – either alone or as a capital partner together with institutional and private investors – and take responsibility: for our investments and for the environment in which we operate.
Investment Management
Assessing opportunities, establishing structures
We closely monitor Europe's core markets and identify emerging opportunities early on. Based on these signals, we develop precise investment theses and create structures that effectively leverage capital: funds, joint ventures, or co-investments. Our aim: clear decisions, transparent risk assessment, and a focus on the value drivers that truly matter.
Capital meets implementation power
Our strength lies in combining investment expertise with operational development experience. We invest significantly with our own capital. This creates an alignment of interests and enables consistent implementation from the transaction through development and leasing to value realization.
Manage risk, develop plans with substance
A good business plan isn't just about numbers; it's about sound assumptions. It combines market understanding, experience, and robust planning. We structure risks, prioritize value drivers, and develop strategies that can withstand even challenging market conditions, with the goal of robust, risk-adjusted returns.
Creating performance
over the entire life cycle
Whether acquisition, development, operation, or exit: We manage investments with clear processes, precise communication, and transparent reporting. This builds trust and provides the foundation for strategically redeploying capital and successfully launching the next cycle.

Development that extends all the way to the operational level
We develop real estate end-to-end: from acquisition and planning through construction and leasing to operation and asset management. We consistently think from the user's perspective and translate requirements in such a way that projects prove their worth in everyday use – economically viable, functionally convincing, and attractive in the long term.
Financially strong and competent
Whether using our own capital exclusively or in partnership: our aim is always to combine deep local market knowledge with cross-border product, concept and implementation experience.
Creative and collaborative
Development is a team sport. We bring together internal specialists with local partners and work in international project teams. The exchange with the ParkProperty Group combines perspectives from Europe, the USA, and Canada, all sharing a common commitment to quality and implementation.
Residential
Living that inspires.
Residential development is our focus. We develop rental and owner-occupied apartments in various segments – from affordable and subsidized rental housing to exclusive condominiums.
Plan efficiently, ensure quality
Housing construction hinges on the concept. When product and technology are perfectly coordinated, quality and construction costs can be reliably controlled. This creates results that convince users, are economically viable for investors, and support the long-term development of cities and communities.
Build-to-rent. Compact residential. Experience more.
Built-to-Rent offers compact apartments without sacrificing comfort: intelligent floor plans, good fittings, and selected amenities. Communal areas and services create additional benefits for different phases of life – and simultaneously make the concepts easy to operate and economically robust.
Building in existing structures
Over the years, we have gained extensive experience in repurposing existing properties. By converting vacant office space into residential units, we shorten project timelines and make better use of existing resources.
Industrial
Connecting markets and people
We understand the interfaces between real estate and business processes and translate requirements from logistics and production into precise space and technology concepts. With our DNA from the Otto Group's retail logistics environment, we know what matters.
We plan locations with maximum throughput, functioning supply chains and an infrastructure that is ready for Industry 4.0.
Individual and user-oriented
We develop tailor-made logistics spaces, flexible light industrial spaces and built-to-suit solutions for all industries.
The focus is on the requirements of our users – from the layout configuration to technical equipment and optimal connection to transport infrastructure.
Locations that will impress in the long term
With a deep understanding of market trends, a strong network and a clear commitment to quality, we create real estate that secures long-term value – for investors, users and cities alike.
In total, our projects have created space for more than 51,000 employees, and our logistics areas cover 1.6 million m² – large enough for 1,300 A320 aircraft.

hotel
Develop. Implement. Partner.
We develop hotels independently or in partnership with other companies. With more than 4,500 completed hotel rooms, as well as those currently in planning or construction, ParkProperty Europe is one of Europe's leading hotel developers.
Development expertise meets investment vision
We not only develop, but are also invested in hotel real estate as well as operator and hotel companies. This gives us a clear understanding of operations and performance and makes us a partner who makes decisions close to the business from the outset.
Same principles, different rules
The hotel product is repeatable, the site is not. Building laws, authorizations, technical standards and market logic vary in Europe's metropolitan regions. We are anchored locally, with our own teams and established partner networks. This enables us to reliably implement proven concepts even under different framework conditions.
Repurposing as an opportunity for new concepts
Where the market and existing properties allow, we focus on conversion. In particular, office properties that are no longer needed may be suitable for development into hotels. In this way, we create new capacity in scarce locations and use existing resources more efficiently.
Highlight projects
TIDE Hamburg
The new TIDE mixed-use building complex in Hamburg's HafenCity is rising: Around 600 high-quality condominiums and rental apartments are being built in a prime central location between the Elbe River and Baakenhafen. Other components of the complex include a student residence for approximately 370 students and trainees, as well as the UBS Digital Art Museum. A daycare center, commercial spaces, and restaurants will also be part of the development.
