We will support you along the whole property value chain, from the planning and construction phases to conversion and restructuring. With an independent partner at your side, strengths and weaknesses can be better detected and concepts more easily implemented.
The retail market environment is changing faster than ever. Regional planning requirements, current case law, the location and property requirements of the retail and real estate industry, shopping and consumer behaviour, and demographics – are all factors affecting retail developments in many ways. They make high demands on local and regional planning concepts for steering retail trade. Sustained pressure regarding space and expansion requirements, goal conflicts and ever faster changes in market conditions may lead to a dramatic reduction of the half-life period of retail concepts. We support you with our extensive market knowledge, data from a reliable base and professional analysis in implementing your development goals – all based on a sustainable and future-orientated conceptual framework.
Expanding or downsizing your space associates the same sort of challenges for corporate property as it does for public buildings and infrastructure. The market value of properties that are not business-critical must be capitalised in the accounts presentation as non-current assets in accordance with operational requirements.

For private and public property owners alike, converting properties and whole neighbourhoods (military, railway, industrial premises, etc.) or planning new infrastructure (airports, technology parks, etc.) is mostly a strategic and time-consuming process. Our main activities in supporting revitalisation projects include carrying out stakeholder analyses, creating viability models, identifying politically stable scenarios and pooling processes with the appropriate partners.
The challenge in developing an optimal residential district, shopping centre or industrial complex is to implement new ideas along with the right mix of cost effectiveness and functionality.

Sometimes innovation succeeds, sometimes they don’t.
Demographics, the labour market and transmission processes of regional economies are crucial factors for private investments, especially in real estate.

The implementation of urban development projects, the steering of retail development via local retail and regional centre concepts, the analysis of the housing needs and the design of strategies for the development of commercial space require accurate and reliable analytical foundations.

Other fields of activity are the calculation of office space requirements or of the viability of wholesale properties, arenas or transport and infrastructure facilities.
