Securing properties at an early stage - and optimising them in the long term
Strong demand for real estate has increasingly caused investors to acquire properties off market and during the early stages of a project. At the same time, there is also significant untapped value potential in the existing building stock, which can be exploited.
A property's lifecycle starts at the development stage, which has a major impact on its economic success. The ongoing development of existing properties also places specific demands on an asset manager. At Union Investment, a 37-strong unit supports the full range of planning and construction activities.
