Increased focus on acquisitions in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia
MÄHREN’s long-standing home market of Berlin is moving increasingly into focus for future investments. The company plans to significantly expand acquisitions in the capital, particularly targeting subdivided residential buildings with development potential that are suitable for privatization. In the Ruhr area, MÄHREN’s second core region, growth will also be accelerated. In the Rhine-Ruhr region, the company is selectively acquiring residential complexes and multifamily houses in attractive B and C locations.
Transactions completed in the first half of 2025
MÄHREN was especially active in the Rhine-Ruhr region: in the first half of 2025, the company acquired 37 multifamily houses – including a portfolio of 29 properties in Essen as well as eight additional properties in Oberhausen. This expanded its holdings in the region. At the same time, the NRW team at the Essen office was strengthened in both transactions and property management – with experienced local professionals from the region, for the region.
In Berlin, MÄHREN acquired a residential complex in Wilmersdorf and a multifamily house in Friedrichshain in the first half of the year. These acquisitions strategically expand the company’s portfolio in attractive inner-city locations in the capital.
“We are seeing positive signals.”

Strategically positioned for the future
Numerous transactions in the business segments of privatization and industrial real estate also contributed to the solid half-year results.
In addition, through various sales – including a residential complex with 142 units in Lingen – MÄHREN was able to generate liquidity and further strengthen its financial base. The company is therefore strategically well positioned to make numerous investments in the second half of 2025 as well.
