What Quarterback Immobilien does

Quarterback Immobilien AG is a Leipzig-headquartered, privately held German real estate developer and holding company founded in 1993 in Delitzsch bei Leipzig. It operates an integrated platform covering the full real estate value chain — land acquisition, project development, construction (via ImmVest Wolf), property management (via RENTA-Servicegesellschaft), and asset management — through a holding structure that also includes QUARTERBACK Projekt, QUARTERBACK Service, QUARTERBACK Energy, and Anhock & Kellner Massivhaus. The company develops residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties with a focus on Germany's strongest growth regions, particularly Central Germany (Mitteldeutschland), and serves three primary B2B customer segments: institutional real estate investors and investment managers (HIH Invest, Commerz Real), municipal and state-owned housing companies (WBM Berlin-Mitte), and its 40% shareholder Deutsche Wohnen/Vonovia SE, alongside private tenants.

The company's technology and product focus centers on energy-efficient construction to KfW 55, KfW 40 NH, KfW 55 EE, and GEG 2020 standards, integrated photovoltaic systems, heat pump technology, and sustainable building materials. In late 2022 it extended this capability into renewable energy generation through its QUARTERBACK New Energy / Qsol energie and Qsol net subsidiaries, which develop photovoltaic energy parks (including agri-solar), operate grid infrastructure, and structure Power Purchase Agreements for industrial offtakers — positioning the firm as an "Energy-Developer" that fuses real estate with on-site energy generation. The firm operates from eight German branches (Leipzig, Dresden, Erfurt, Potsdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Cologne/Düsseldorf) with a workforce of more than 300 people.

The revenue model combines one-time project sales (via Forward Funding/Forward Deals and outright sales of completed developments to institutional investors), recurring rental income from owned and managed properties, professional services fees from third-party property and asset management, and a newer energy revenue stream from energy sales, grid management, and PPA structuring. Project sales dominate — exemplified by the ~100,000 m², 10-project portfolio sold to HIH Invest in January 2023, the largest deal in the company's nearly 30-year history. Distribution is sales-led and direct to enterprise buyers, supplemented by third-party real estate brokers (Thomas Klinke Immobilien, Wittlinger & Compagnie) for tenant-facing rental marketing on selected projects.

Revenue model

1. Real Estate Development and Project Sales: QUARTERBACK develops residential and commercial properties for sale to institutional investors and municipal housing companies. Transactions are structured as Forward Deals (contract with construction obligation) or outright sales of completed projects. This represents the primary revenue driver, exemplified by the largest-ever sale — a 100,000 m² portfolio of 10 projects sold to HIH Invest across Brandenburg, Saxony, Thuringia, and Schleswig-Holstein.
2. Rental Income from Owned Properties: Through its QUARTERBACK Bestand division and subsidiary QUARTERBACK Service / RENTA-Servicegesellschaft, the company holds, manages, and rents out properties in its own portfolio. This provides recurring rental income from residential and commercial tenants.
3. Asset and Property Management Services: The company manages and administers all properties in its ownership or under management, serving as a reliable partner for tenants, buyers, and property owners. Revenue is generated through management fees from third-party property owners and service charges.
4. Energy Solutions (New Energy / Qsol): Through QUARTERBACK Energy / Qsol energie / Qsol net, the company develops, operates, and markets energy parks (photovoltaic installations), manages grid operations, and handles energy marketing including PPA management for renewable energy projects. Revenue includes energy sales, grid management fees, and PPA-related income.
