Real estate expertise in 5 asset classes
Active in the commercial property markets for over 60 years.
We are characterised by our many years of expertise, an attractive portfolio in top locations and professional tenant support, coupled with a passion for real estate.
Office
Example: Chilehaus, Hamburg
The office properties in our portfolio have a high structural quality and are located in central locations in major cities. They are let on long-term leases to users with strong credit ratings and generate sustainably stable income. Our strong asset management continuously develops the properties and adapts them to the needs of the market.
Retail
Example: East Oak Street, Chicago
Our open-ended real estate funds have the entire spectrum of retail properties in their portfolios: from commercial buildings to retail parks, local suppliers to high-quality shopping concepts in prime locations with event character, which offer additional offers such as modern gastronomy concepts or digital worlds of experience in addition to the classic shop stock.
Hotel
Example: The Cloud One, New York
Union Investment is one of Europe's leading investment managers for hotel properties. Our portfolio contains the entire range of global hotel types: from budget and midscale properties to hotels in the 4- and 5-star categories and holiday hotels. With their long-term leases, they ensure earnings stability.
Logistics
Example: Chal-tec, Kamp-Lintfort
The properties in Union Investment's portfolio are in prime locations in the leading logistics regions of Germany and Europe. The modern and flexible logistics properties are suitable for a variety of user requirements and have long-term leases at the time of purchase.
Residential
Example: Urban Villas, Amsterdam
In 2019, Union Investment began to build up a significant proportion of residential investments in selected European core markets for its retail funds. The aim of this strategy is to contribute to long-term diversification and stabilisation of the funds' performance. Sustainable housing as a basic social need generates stable returns, even in times of economic uncertainty.

Our tenant relations managers are there for you
Intensive property and tenant management by Union Investment.
We want our tenants to feel comfortable in their properties. That is why we have introduced mandatory standards for tenant care across all asset classes and properties.
The quality of our asset management is regularly demonstrated by independent ratings. But what demonstrates our high quality standards just as impressively are our long-standing tenancy relationships with numerous big-name companies who operate their headquarters at our properties. Our office and logistical tenants include some big names. In the hotel sector, 30 of the world’s biggest hotel brands trust us as landlords. Some of the most successful brand manufacturers and some of the foremost emerging brands are present in our shopping centres. Small and medium sized companies contribute to our fund’s stable income situation. We aim to achieve a balanced mix of tenants in our properties, so that everyone benefits.

The benefits of Union Investment as a landlord
Why you should choose us as your landlord.
Clearly defined response times for enquiries and complaints are just as important to us as regular personal visits to the properties. We continuously monitor our performance by conducting tenant satisfaction surveys. We not only take our tenants' criticisms and suggestions to heart, but also address them consistently as part of a continuous improvement process. This leads – as confirmed by independent studies – to a high level of willingness among our tenants to recommend us, and to proven low tenant fluctuation.
Our tenants are particularly satisfied with us when it comes to these issues.

Climate-neutral real estate portfolio by 2050
We are aware of our responsibility.
In 2018, we set ourselves the goal of being climate-neutral with our global real estate portfolio by 2050 with our "manage to green" strategy. The fact that we addressed decarbonisation at an early stage is benefiting us today. This is because climate protection laws are becoming increasingly stringent around the world. Germany, for example, moved the final target of net greenhouse gas neutrality forward by five years in 2021: from 2050 to 2045. Our "manage to green" strategy is not just about CO2 reduction. It is about the total consumption of the properties in kilowatt hours and hence about the efficiency of the technical systems installed. In doing so, we are guided by the so-called CRREM path (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor), which sets the curves for the consumption of CO2 and kilowatt hours to achieve the climate targets for different asset classes, countries and year.
