Creating security. Maintaining value.

The real estate sector is undergoing change – we get stability moving 

Rising construction costs, new regulations, ESG criteria, real estate tax reforms and challenging financing conditions – the real estate sector is under more pressure than ever. Whoever wants to be successful in investing, developing or holding property today needs clarity – with planning, risks and structure.

We advise real estate companies, developers, portfolio holders and investors along the entire life-cycle: from the concept to development and financing all the way to selling and restructuring. We combine the tax, legal and economic aspects into one interdisciplinary team – for solutions that work and are effective long-term.

Our expertise. Your foundation.

We create the structure you can build on.

Whether it’s legally water-tight transactions, ESG reporting, communicating with investors or due diligence – we think about real estate consulting holistically. We know that real estate projects are also always projects of trust.

Because you have to be able to build on good advice just as you do on good foundations.

Building the future together

Advisory that bears fruit From the foundation to the conclusion.

Real estate projects need more than a vision – they need structure, stability and a partner to carry the responsibility together. In an environment full of conditions, uncertainty and increasing complexity, we’ll be the static system for you behind the idea.

We think ahead, identify risks quickly, combine points of views, and create the conditions you can build on: legal certainty, economic sense, fit for the future.

That’s how challenges can be borne – and projects brought to a successful conclusion.
