Rock Capital Group

What Rock Capital Group does

Rock Capital Group is a privately held, owner-managed real estate asset manager and project developer headquartered in Grünwald near Munich, operating exclusively in the Munich and Frankfurt am Main markets. The firm runs two integrated business lines: a stabilized portfolio of commercial, residential, retail, hotel, and logistics properties generating recurring rental income, and a project development pipeline of more than 50 assets spanning premium offices, biotech/life-science hubs, residential quarters, and mixed-use developments. Major projects include HEADS (Germany's first "Immune Office," 42,000+ sqm), HEAVEN (a five-building historic-modern business quarter, 30,000 sqm BGF, pre-leased ~55% to Thüga AG), MONACO (Werksviertel office with Germany's first Pretty Plastic recycled facade), SKYGATE (40,000+ sqm mixed-use hub near Munich Airport with hotel, labs, and offices), OSKAR 33, the Highlines residential ensemble in Frankfurt (550 units), and Lenné Quartier in Bad Homburg (~500 units).

The firm's product architecture centers on proprietary concepts — Immune Office (health-focused integrated building systems), Ready-to-Use Labs (S1/S2 certified turn-key laboratory space positioned as the only comprehensive offering in greater Munich), FIRST LABS (flexible startup-scale lab units), and the Pretty Plastic recycled facade system — supported by international architecture partners (MVRDV, Hilmer Sattler, Ippolito Fleitz) and pursuit of LEED Platinum, WiredScore Platinum, and WELL Platinum certifications. Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring commercial rental income from a multi-asset portfolio (Munich Altstadtring rents exceed EUR 70/sqm/month), one-time development sales and forward sales of residential units (Isartalstraße, Westendstrasse, Highlines, Lenné Quartier, Hofmann Höfe), and asset/property management services delivered in-house. Distribution combines a direct in-house leasing and sales team, hotel brokerage (JLL Hotels), and third-party brokers (IGENUS Immobilien), financed by senior bank relationships with UniCredit and DZ HYP AG. The customer base is enterprise-weighted, with multinational and German corporates such as ARM, Samsung SDI Europe, Bel Brands, Essity, Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring, Bourns, Molex, Meierhofer AG, and CIC Hospitality.
