Long-term planning, keeping an eye on developments.
Site and real estate development are built for the long term: Due to the long planning and time of use, a keen eye must be kept on future demands in regional markets as well as rapidly changing customer requirements.
Strategic investment in locations and real estate
Strategic investment in locations and real estate requires a focus on clearly defined conditions for success. In the development of larger sites and properties, for example, long-term requirements, utilization options and clearly defined target groups are crucial – both for the preparatory land-use planning and for the subsequent building design and utilization concept.
The basis of every investment decision is a comprehensive analysis of the location and requirements, which evaluates the regional market environment, the location, the specific site conditions as well as current and future requirements. Only then can the development of demand and the absorption capacity for additional offers of a location be determined in a forward-looking manner. This relationship between supply and demand determines decisively whether property at a given location will sustain its value in the long run, taking into account the appropriate usage and target group.
Location and real estate development in a macroeconomic context
Nevertheless, for a future-oriented location and real estate development, more than only macro- and microeconomic circumstances need to be considered. Sound location and market analyses also take socio-economic and social trends into account, such as demographic change, the increasing flexibility of physical work, and housing preferences or commuter conditions. Such factors transform local and regional demands and exert a decisive influence on the supply and usage structure of asset classes.
