“You can achieve a lot with pragmatists, but little with ideology-driven people.”

Housing construction is currently suffering. Not only because of the high interest charges and construction costs, but also due to the far-reaching requirements of the cities.

Under the title "The cities demand so much until it starts to crack", the Immobilien Zeitung deals with precisely these municipal requirements in its article. Within this context, our founder and Managing Director Gerald Tschörner was also asked.

Awarded and unique in Frankfurt: DGNB Diamond for the MORROW.

The first office building ever in the city and the first redevelopment of an existing building to receive this honour. The prerequisite for this is an existing certification in gold or platinum from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (German Sustainable Building Council, DGNB for short) complemented by outstanding architecture. We succeeded in combining both - sustainability and aesthetics - in the revitalisation of the existing building in Frankfurt's Westend district in a way that is particularly worth seeing.

The number of new construction projects in Frankfurt continues to decline and investors are now avoiding the metropolis. But why? For the current article "Investors turn their backs on Frankfurt: The urban exodus of housing developers", the Frankfurter Neue Presse asked our managing director Gerald Tschörner, among others, for his comment on the current problem.

Enabling instead of regulating

The government has made it clear: 400,000 new flats are to be built according to the coalition agreement. The housing construction industry is called upon to get it done. High time for a reality check. Where and how can urban housing potential be developed more quickly? What challenges does the sector face? And what framework conditions must be created for this, also outside the metropolitan regions? In his Handelsblatt Inside Real Estate article "Less regulation, more pragmatism", our founder and managing director Gerald Tschörner explains what the housing construction industry wants from policy-makers. Why it is better to roll up our sleeves together than to campaign. And why less regulation and more reality of life is needed today and tomorrow.
