Real Estate Real estate that shapes living environments.

Our real estate expertise

Committed to real values

We launched our first financial product more than 50 years ago: the open-ended real estate fund hausInvest¹. Since then, Commerz Real has stood for real estate expertise – not only in Germany, but also in Europe and the world.

Since then, our employees have been gaining important experiences and adding to their knowledge every day. With passion and creativity, we find answers to the current challenges and also deal with important questions of the future.

How do we make a positive contribution to the society of tomorrow with our real estate? How are our residential, living, working or health needs changing? What do we as an investment company and asset manager need to do today in order to create sustainable living environments for the decades to come?

The principle

An ecosystem of assets

Our search for answers takes us beyond individual assets or individual key figures: to achieve our goal of a climate-neutral real estate portfolio. We pool our expertise under the umbrella of Commerz Real AG and combine the pillars of real estate and renewable energies in our investment products. Climate change mitigation is an important and overarching goal for the cities of tomorrow.
With our hausInvest investments, we promote social housing construction and bring generations together at the same time. We can make buildings more sustainable through digitalisation, helping emerging businesses to grow. We can shape German city centres, strengthen the retail sector and expand healthcare - many levers that we can engage along the way to an environmentally-aware and connected future.

Innovative ideas set the framework for actively shaping our future. For a sustainable living environment for our society. And for future-proof performance that maintains its value for our investors.

FAQs

How does an investment in real estate work at Commerz Real?

As a company focusing on tangible assets, real estate Real estate has been part of our core business for over 50 years. Through our asset management companies, we offer various real estate investment funds with different focal points to both retail and institutional investors.

Here, the fund volume is invested in equities of sustainable companies. The returns generated by the funds – and thus also the returns for our investors – result from rental income or the sale of real estate, among other things.

Our open-ended real estate fund hausInvest is open to retail investors. It has been established on the financial market for more than 50 years and has been able to achieve a positive performance² every year to date. Institutional investors have the choice between our hotel funds Commerz Real Institutional Hotel Fund and Commerz Real Institutional European Hotel Fund as well as our micro-living funds Commerz Real Institutional Smart Living Fund and Commerz Real Institutional Smart Living Europe Fund, which meet the increasing demand for flexibly usable housing in a good location and open up an investment opportunity.

Which real estate does Commerz Real invest in?

The properties of the various investment funds of our asset management companies are widely diversified – both across countries and across different types of use.

With hausInvest, investors invest in over 150 properties around the world with 14 different types of use, from office towers in New York and Frankfurt to London shopping centres and residential neighbourhoods in Nuremberg.

Our hotel funds for institutional investors invest in hotel properties in many countries and focus primarily on core real estate, i.e. particularly high-quality properties in international metropolises and tourism centres. The institutional micro-living funds focus on residential complexes in growing university cities in Germany and Europe.

What role does Commerz Real play in the real estate investment sector?

Real estate is the core competence of Commerz Real: for more than 50 years, we have been dedicated to the development of financial products with a focus on tangible assets and especially real estate. During this time we have been able to acquire comprehensive expertise.

It is not always about including the latest and architecturally most spectacular properties in our fund portfolios – but rather properties that meet our requirements in terms of economy, sustainability and long-term sustainability. This allows us to offer our investors high-quality investment products that reflect both our many years of experience and our thinking about the future.

With our expertise, we cover the entire value chain of our tangible assets – from the transaction, through development, rental and marketing to the sale of our assets, we offer all trades from a single source.

What are the benefits of investing in real estate?

Real estate is one of the most popular assets in the field of tangible asset investments. This is primarily due to their long-term nature, as high-quality properties usually remain in place for many decades. And this can also have a positive impact on the performance of real estate. 

Real estate is also independent of the stock exchange and can thus protect the invested capital from sudden price fluctuations. With our hausInvest open-ended real estate fund, we also attach great importance to long-term leases with tenants with good credit ratings. This allows us to further increase our planning security and pass it on to our investors in the form of long-term stability and regular distributions.

¹ The capital management company of hausInvest is Commerz Real Investmentgesellschaft mbH, a subsidiary of Commerz Real AG.
