Space to live in

CREATING LIVING SPACE IN ALL SEGMENTS

A new and more intelligent way of thinking about living space – this is our credo in residential construction. Following the design model of the Bauhaus, we are developing efficient and flexible living space solutions in all segments – from subsidized rental apartments to condominiums – that can adapt to people’s current living habits and that are affordable. Even whole city quarters are part of our repertoire.

Neighborhood development

Large urban development projects are not only about the development of individual buildings, but they also create a lively neighborhood. Therefore, it is important to us to cleverly mix different segments, such as residential, retail, office, and hotel, as well as to include in this mix community facilities. This requires sustainable transportation concepts, the close involvement of all stakeholders and neighbors – and last but not least an urban area that connects everything and everyone.

Operation and leasing of furnished apartments

People today are much more mobile than ever before. The demand for living space and comfort depends very much on the respective lifestyle. However, people still wish to live in a central and well-connected location at an affordable price. This is possible in modern build-to-rent apartments such as those that we operate in Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester in the UK. The buildings, which include 2,100 modernly furnished apartments, offer residents the comfort and flexibility of a hotel combined with the feel-good character of their own home in a precisely customized all-round carefree package. Numerous services, such as a fitness center, package acceptance, co-working areas, bicycle parking, resident lounges, and additional bookable rooms for meetings, events, or guests as well as a 24-hour concierge service, augment such a living experience.

Shopping centers as residential locations

As a forward-looking real estate developer, we are constantly reimaging our shopping centers and their functions. Where space was once reserved for ever more cars, the revolution in mobility has created an urgent need for space for apartments. With advantages for both sides: Shopping centers acquire new customers. And the tenants have direct access to stores, doctors’ practices, and fitness studios.

Development of rental apartments and condominiums

Not every location is so large that an entire city district has to be developed. And yet we think the same way about every project: How does it integrate into its surroundings? Which uses fit together? How can it be operated in an economically and ecologically sustainable manner? And how can we offer the best possible added value to not only the future occupants and owners but also to the city?
