Union Investment as a real estate investor
The future always in sight.
We are part of a strong group: We are growing steadily within the cooperative network. With broadly diversified and individual real estate solutions, we win and confirm the trust of our clients. Union Investment is one of the largest asset managers in Germany.
We act on behalf of approx. 5.8 million private investors and around 1,480 institutional clients. We are backed by the strength of the cooperative FinanzGruppe. With over 700 local cooperative banks alone, we stand for solidity and partnership. The Union Investment Group as a whole manages fund assets of EUR 504.7 billion across all major asset classes.
With assets under management in open-ended real estate funds, special funds and service and bundling mandates totalling around EUR 54.9 billion, Union Investment is one of the leading real estate investment managers in Europe. Currently, Union Investment has around 475 properties in 24 countries worldwide in its actively managed portfolio.
Union Investment set the right course in time to get its real estate funds fit for the future - in portfolio management as well as in transaction management. In recent years, we have invested in modern properties and in the trends of tomorrow.
Union Investment is getting ready for the start of a new real estate cycle with new challenges, but above all with new opportunities. We are continuing to optimise our high-performance real estate platform. Digitalisation – with a clear focus on greater efficiency and flexibility – is in full swing.
