The Rhine-Ruhr region is an exciting metropolitan area of the future in the midst of an economic boom. More than five million people live and work in 53 cities covering an area of just under 4,440 square kilometers. The mix of increasing corporate settlements, future technologies, numerous universities, and plenty of livable green space has been creating a real spirit of optimism for years.
“The entire metropolitan region is full of future opportunities. There is much to suggest that the Ruhr area will develop successfully in the coming years.”
We invest in the Ruhr area because we recognize its development potential. As a real estate company with many years of industry experience, we are distinguished by our in-depth knowledge and long-term business relationships. We are considered one of the most straightforward business partners in the real estate industry nationwide.
Our long-standing office in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, employs a growing team of experts, all of whom come from the region. Our motto: From the region, for the region. And we enjoy working in the Ruhr area. It is diverse, honest, down-to-earth, lively, and full of opportunities for the future.
Our focus is on residential property. Are you considering a property sale or brokerage? We buy residential complexes, prefabricated buildings, settlement buildings, and large multi-family houses.

The environment for property owners is changing rapidly, especially when it comes to larger portfolios: new laws and rising energy costs, while renovation requirements and interest rates are changing and causing permanent shifts in the market. In the Ruhr region in particular, there are many reasons to sell property. Here, owners are benefiting from a favorable market environment.
✔ Take advantage of the market environment
Real estate prices have stabilized at a high level in recent years. At the same time, many investors are willing to commit capital in the short term—before interest rates and market conditions shift again.
✔ Avoid investment pressure
New legal requirements for renovations and energy efficiency (GEG) mean significantly higher costs for owners. Those who sell today can escape this financial pressure and secure the value of their portfolio.
✔ Difficult-to-calculate renovation costs – dwindling returns
The costs of ongoing modernization measures and necessary renovations are rising significantly. It is also difficult to get appointments with specialist companies for months at a time. These expenses are increasingly reducing the original return.
✔ Free up liquidity
A sale makes it possible to use tied-up capital for new projects, private ventures, or retirement planning.
✔ Tax advantages
After the speculation period has expired, real estate can be sold tax-free—an opportunity that many owners are now taking advantage of.
Location of Universities
In the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, 22 universities are currently established, making it Germany’s densest network of higher education institutions. This area has the highest number of students per capita and the most universities per square kilometer, attracting young people. The universities focus particularly on relevant future fields, which is evident in the high number of graduates in Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, and Engineering – the so-called STEM fields.
Location of Technologies, Research, and Start-Ups
A total of 20 technology, research, and start-up centers are located in the Ruhr area, supporting the new generation of entrepreneurs to accelerate the region’s progress into the future. These centers represent real dynamics for a forward-looking structural change.
