HERRMANN Frères & Fils Buildings

What HERRMANN Frères & Fils Buildings does

HERRMANN Frères & Fils Buildings (operating as Groupe Herrmann / Herrmann Immeubles) is a privately held, family-owned French real estate investment company founded in 1946 in Strasbourg by brothers Oscar and Charles Herrmann and currently led by President Thierry Herrmann. The company operates as a Société d'Investissement Immobilier (foncière) and runs an integrated platform spanning five service lines: (i) rental investment through its proprietary property fund, (ii) building rehabilitation and renovation with subsequent resale (vente à la découpe or in bulk), (iii) real estate development/turnkey construction (promotion immobilière) for large corporate accounts, (iv) transaction advisory for property portfolio acquisitions and disposals, and (v) third-party asset management. There is no proprietary technology stack in the conventional software sense; the underlying "platform" is the operational infrastructure for sourcing, acquiring, renovating, leasing, and reselling physical real estate assets, augmented by the Herrmann Club Deal online investor platform (app.herrmann-club-deal.com).

The company is registered in Paris (RCS Paris B 949 599 971) with a stated share capital of €12,000, has offices in Paris (headquarters at 1 rue de Chazelles, 17th arrondissement), Strasbourg (regional base), Nice, and Luxembourg, and a reported team of approximately 9 people serving client projects. The portfolio comprises diversified commercial and residential assets across the Paris/Ile-de-France region and the Grand Est (Alsace, Lorraine, Champagne-Ardenne), with additional exposure in Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, and Luxembourg; named tenant and partner relationships include Orange, LVMH/Dior, Bouygues Telecom, Auchan, La Poste, DHL, EDF, Vinci, Carrefour, BNP Paribas, GMF, and the Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale, among others.

The business model is hybrid and asset-heavy: recurring rental income from the owned foncière portfolio, transactional revenue from acquisition-renovation-resale (vente à la découpe to individual buyers or bulk sales to investors), development/construction fees on turnkey projects for corporate clients, and recurring asset management fees for third-party private and institutional investors. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary brokers — relying on a corporate website, contact form, direct phone outreach, and the club deal platform to reach investors. The company does not publish pricing, ARR, or revenue figures.
