Sustainable Development of Built environments

Whether it's a big city, small town, rural area, city center, industrial park,..., the location of a property, the establishment of new companies, offers and business models — we analyse potential, identify development opportunities, clarify framework conditions, initiate and project concrete construction projects and/or operational measures in the context of urban, district and real estate developments.

Lively, contemporary districts are created through an intelligent interplay of sustainably usable buildings, diverse uses, offers and facilities, target group-specific services, a modern sharing economy and open spaces for appropriation by residents, businesses or even other players who contribute to an attractive neighborhood.

Versatile, adaptable buildings designed for very different requirements in terms of location, environment and possible changes in the future.

‍

We analyse needs and trends, engage in dialogue with potential users, specify uses and thus lay the foundations for market and future-oriented planning.

The successful new or conversion of a property, the use of commercial space, the revitalization of vacant spaces and even the revitalization of city centers or districts can only be achieved through attractive, demand-oriented business models, regardless of whether they are market-based, public-interest or non-profit.

Not only must the structural design of buildings, facilities or districts fit, but also the organization of operations. The more diverse the uses and the more diverse the players are, the more complex it becomes to design the right operator model and the greater the demands placed on operators.

‍

We have many years of experience in all areas, both in operational design and operational management.

If required, we also act as a sparring partner in setting up project development and operating companies in the private and public sectors.

The usage and target group-specific positioning of buildings involves much more than an appealing presentation and the placement of advertisements in real estate portals.

‍

We start where traditional real estate agents stop, developing targeted positioning and communication strategies not only for individual properties, but also for entire districts, city centers, vacant office complexes, department stores, industrial wastelands or conversion areas.

We get vacant spaces moving and take the necessary measures — from analysis to successful reuse.

‍

With our holistic vacancy management, we not only reduce downtime during use. Through individual concepts, unconventional marketing, innovative interim uses, etc., we increase the exploitation options of your property and thus also the attractiveness of city centers or districts.

Innovative solutions are created through “swarm intelligence” and different perspectives. That is why we are always interested in an open dialogue with all participants, their ideas and needs during our projects.

‍

Depending on project requirements, we use various methods, activating formats and our proprietary online survey tool.

Higher construction costs, interest rates, general social changes and crises have caused the returns of some types of buildings to fall. Farsighted players on the real estate market have long since changed their investment strategy towards mixed-use real estate. However, a diverse mix of uses also requires an adjustment of operational real estate management. We help you both set up and operate a resilient portfolio.

‍

General changes in shopping, working or mobility, demographic development, digitization or new living models require completely new approaches to designing our spatial environment. We assist you with the transformation of buildings, the adjustment of organization, operations and services, as well as with strategic decisions or political decision-making processes.

ESG-compliant real estate management is becoming increasingly important because, in addition to legal requirements, stakeholders, i.e. investors, users, operators or tenants, are increasingly demanding transparent, sustainable strategies.

We help you future-proof your real estate portfolio, minimize regulatory risks and ensure long-term value stability by increasing the attractiveness of your properties.

The development of complex projects, interdisciplinary consulting, innovation and transformation management and dialogue with very different actors over many years are only possible at the cutting edge.

‍

We are therefore constantly concerned with current developments and trends in various specialist areas and socio-political issues.
