The largest real estate stage has now been dismantled.
What remains?

The highlight of the economic analysis by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Lars P. Feld and the spring report by the Council of Real Estate Experts.
The conclusion: there is light at the end of the tunnel again. So we won't all become real estate orphans😅

My benefit: the people and the inspiration. Thank you to everyone with whom I had the opportunity to talk and from whom I was able to gather ideas.
This is a valuable barometer of what might happen in 2026.

So there is still a lot to do, some things will be challenging, and it remains a market for professionals. The end of the world is not coming just yet😉

Thanks to Gitta Rometsch and the organizing team, and to Timo Tschammler for his entertaining moderation throughout the two days!

Incidentally, my new record holder is the Adlon parking garage. I've never paid €60 for a (not even full) day before. It feels like a parking ticket. But what can you do? The event costs have risen by a whole 2%, and the discussions were priceless! Let's not let that spoil our mood💁🏻‍♂️😂

See you in 2027

During the digital panel discussion "Conflict in the field of leasing" from the series "Asset and property management in practice," our CEO Sascha Nöske joined Jürgen Hau (INDUSTRIA Immobilien), Martin Schubert (HIH Real Estate / HIH Group), and Stephan Wege (Colliers) to discuss how leasing projects can be implemented more efficiently and without conflict. The key finding: Unclear responsibilities, duplicate communication, and inconsistent objectives are frequent obstacles—especially in complex projects with many participants.

That is why clear roles and structures, coordinated decision-making processes, and a central contact person are necessary for optimal leasing and, ultimately, for the economic success of new and existing neighborhoods. In addition, we believe that having a neighborhood manager on site is essential for tenant satisfaction and rapid re-letting in larger neighborhoods.

Our approach to leasing and management therefore provides for early coordination of target parameters, fixed contact persons, and scalable processes – with maximum digital support and market-oriented implementation. This structure is crucial for success, especially in large-scale projects with several hundred units.

Our reference projects show how this works: we are currently responsible for the leasing and management of Cosmo / Lichtenberg, Smyles / Friedenau, Paragon Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, Immergrün / Pankow, Dahme & König Berlin-Köpenick, and Ipanema in Hamburg-Winterhude, among others.

Even though many markets are characterized by high demand, renting in new development neighborhoods remains a challenge: the more precise the rent calculation and the more stringent the processes, the lower the vacancy rate and the more stable the cash flow for owners and investors.

Today, we demonstrated this in more detail using examples from Berlin: Together with Leonard Rieck, RHE Grundbesitz KG, and Stefan Prill, STRATEGIS AG, we took a look at Smyles in Berlin-Friedenau.

Strategis is responsible for neighborhood management and leasing for Quantum Immobilien AG. Here, it is clear to see that investments in modern building services and property management with high service quality and on-site service are worthwhile. This allows a high level of customer satisfaction to be achieved during the holding phase of the investment.

Despite the predominantly small apartments, tenant turnover is significantly lower than in comparable properties. There are regular tenant changes, but we can quickly respond to these with our on-site service and avoid vacancies.
As construction progresses, amenities are coming into operation: e.g., a gym for residents, a Pilates studio, a bicycle repair shop, and a laundromat. Our new neighborhood office is also currently being expanded. This means we are directly available to tenants in the row of shops.

This shows that an online service with a tenant app and neighborhood presence is not an "either/or" decision. It is a complement. We can simply react faster. Is this accepted by the tenants? Yes, 100%. In fact, without exception, all tenants have registered in the neighborhood app. casavi GmbH

A neighborhood that serves as a role model and a professional collaboration with great partners. Thank you very much for that.
