ECE Work & Live
With our decades of experience in the operation of commercial properties, ECE is not only at the forefront in the shopping sector. We have also been developing developments and entire neighborhoods in the residential, hotel, logistics and office sectors since the1970s - and with great success. We create permanently attractive spaces with sustainable cash flow and are one of the top hotel and logistics developers in Germany. With a total of around 130 certificates according to the DGNB standard and BREEAM, we are also a leader in terms of sustainability and are constantly tapping into new asset classes and business areas with our expertise.
"For us, real estate is more than just a shell. With our credo 'Creating space. Inspiring people.', we create sustainable and technically functional properties that always start with the user. They should inspire people and offer them space to develop - for living and working."

In the west of the Italian capital, ECE Work & Live is realizing a new quarter in a park-like location with six buildings and around 125 modern-design condominiums in a joint venture with two local partners.

In September 2021, ECE Work & Live acquired a listed property in the heart of Rome that was previously used as an office building, which we are currently converting into a hotel. We have profited from the rapidly growing lean-luxury hotel group Ruby Hotels as the operator. The conversion work for the planned opening in spring 2025 is in full swing.
Together with the omnichannel bookshop Thalia, ECE Work & Live is planning, developing and realizing an innovative commercial and production site in the newly emerging gate.ruhr industrial park in Marl (NRW). The property will consist of several high-quality hall areas and a prestigious multi-storey office building. The building will comply with the energy efficiency house 40 standard.
Thanks to a donation in kind from the Dorit & Alexander Otto Foundation in the height of 15 million euros, the Hamburger Kunsthalle was completely modernized in just 17 months under our project management. We worked closely with the municipal authorities, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and museum experts to modernize the listed building ensemble.
In a prime location between Koelnmesse and Deutz railroad station, the new and fully occupied MesseCity Köln offers an attractive mix of offices, hotels, gastronomy and public spaces. Tenants include Zurich Group Germany, KPMG, Arlanxeo, Motel One, Adina Apartment Hotels and the restaurateurs L'Osteria and The Ash. The "Rossio" office building was purchased by the City of Cologne and will be used by municipal departments following its completions. Our joint venture partner for this major project is STRABAG RE.
Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester - in these three economically strong cities in England, we contribute our many years of experience and expertise under management. We operate and lease a total of 2,100 residential units in these cities. The centrally located, fully equipped and modern apartments of various sizes combine the service and comfort of a hotel with the feeling of a home from home and offer their residents numerous services such as fitness centers, co-working areas and event spaces.
