In the competitive world of real estate development, a structured approach is essential. From the initial idea to the final investment, every project goes through multiple phases where strategy, design, and execution come together. Our team guides projects both as delegated project managers for third parties and for our own portfolio – always focusing on projects where we can deliver true added value.
Here’s how we take a real estate project step by step to success.
1. Initiation & Feasibility: Laying the Foundation
Every development starts with a thorough site analysis, urban audit, and market study. Based on this, we conduct an initial financial feasibility study and select the most promising scenarios.
Key Activities:
- Site analysis
- Urban audit
- Market analysis
- Desktop financial feasibility
- Initial scenario selection
2. Concept & Design: Turning Ideas into Plans
In this phase, we translate ideas into a clear functional program of requirements and design the preferred scenario. Stakeholders, including local authorities, are engaged to refine feasibility and address potential challenges early.
Key Activities:
- Developing the functional program of requirements
- Concept design and planning
- Stakeholder engagement
- Refining feasibility
3. Permit & Planning: Approvals and Budgeting
A solid project requires a careful permit process and detailed technical design. We manage all regulatory approvals and fine-tune the budget to avoid surprises during construction.
Key Activities:
- Applying for and managing permits
- Detailed technical design
- Budget refinement
4. Development: From Plan to Reality
This is where plans come to life. From demolition to construction, and testing to commissioning, we coordinate the entire process to ensure quality, timing, and safety.
Key Activities:
- Demolition and construction
- Testing & commissioning
5. Investment Decision: Hold or Exit
Before the start of the project, we evaluate investment options. Depending on the strategic objectives, the project may be held or sold upon completion.
Key Activities:
- Evaluating exit options
- Holding for investment
6. Commercialization: Maximizing Value
The commercial success of a project is critical. Together with brokers, we explore options for leasing or sales, evaluate exit strategies, and optimize the balance between value, speed, and commercial risk.
Key Activities:
- Broker: leasing / sales
- Evaluating exit options
- Optimizing value, speed, and risk
Why a Structured Approach Works
