The German commercial real estate market presents both exceptional opportunities and complex challenges for investors.

From scaling portfolios to navigating Germany’s unique regulatory landscape, we offer sharp insights, creative thinking, and a deep understanding of global capital flows and local market nuances.

With offices in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich, our Capital Markets advisors deliver solutions that lead to better outcomes, every transaction, every time. Beyond deals, we build lasting relationships that grow across cycles and continents. That’s why more investors are choosing us as their trusted partner in Germany’s dynamic market.

Specialisation

Industry-Focused Capital Markets



Office Investment


Germany's office market is undergoing fundamental transformation as companies embrace hybrid working models whilst prioritising quality and sustainability. The "flight to quality" trend continues to dominate, with tenants seeking smaller, higher-quality spaces in prime locations across Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and other major centres. We provide strategic advisory services that help investors navigate this evolution, identifying opportunities in core-plus properties and supporting repositioning strategies that meet modern ESG requirements and tenant expectations.

Logistics & Industrial Investment


Germany's position as Europe's logistics hub creates compelling investment opportunities across the country's extensive transport networks. From Hamburg's port facilities to the Rhine-Ruhr corridor's industrial heartland, we identify value-creation opportunities in both traditional warehousing and modern last-mile delivery facilities. Our expertise spans forward funding arrangements, sale-and-leaseback structures, and strategic acquisitions that capitalise on Germany's robust logistics infrastructure and growing e-commerce demands.

Residential Investment


Germany’s residential market continues to exhibit stability and growth potential, driven by strong urbanisation trends and favourable demographic shifts. From Berlin’s vibrant rental market to the robust owner-occupier demand in cities like Munich and Hamburg, we specialise in identifying core, value-add, and opportunistic residential investments. Our services include advising on portfolio acquisitions, forward-purchase agreements, and build-to-rent schemes, all underpinned by a deep understanding of Germany’s diverse regional housing markets and regulatory frameworks.

Retail Investment


Despite ongoing market evolution, Germany's retail sector presents selective opportunities for informed investors. Prime high-street locations in major cities continue to attract stable rental income, whilst retail parks and grocery-anchored centres offer defensive investment characteristics. We specialise in identifying resilient retail assets, structuring creative financing solutions, and advising on repositioning strategies that adapt to changing consumer behaviours and omnichannel retail trends.
