DIEAG

What DIEAG does

DIE Deutsche Immobilien Entwicklungs AG (DIEAG) is a Berlin-based real estate project developer and asset manager, incorporated as an Aktiengesellschaft and founded in 2015. The company specialises in large-scale, ESG-compliant residential and commercial property developments in Germany, with the bulk of its portfolio concentrated in the Berlin metropolitan area. Its principal projects include the BE-U | Behrens-Ufer 10-hectare commercial district in Berlin-Oberschöneweide (EUR 1+ billion invested; 235,000 sqm of rental space across three construction phases, targeted for completion 2027–2028 and DGNB Platinum certification), the Equalizer office building in Berlin's City West (13,175 sqm; EUR 82 million senior financing from Hamburger Sparkasse; completion Q1 2026), the Mizar Gate Office complex near BER airport (19,372 sqm across three buildings, with two buildings leased to NOVUM Hospitality for hotel and serviced-apartment use), and the residential Venusbogen project in Bernau. Technical differentiation centres on a geothermal district heating/cooling system at BE-U designed to deliver full energy self-sufficiency across the quarter, materially exceeding standard ESG benchmarks; the company is also a member of DGNB e.V. and ECORE for sustainability framework alignment.

DIEAG operates two wholly owned operating subsidiaries — DIEAG Investmentmanagement GmbH (investment management) and DIEAG Projektentwicklungs und Management GmbH (project development and management) — and runs a B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting institutional investors globally who acquire completed projects as 'Globalverkauf' package deals for long-term portfolio management. Commercial leasing is transacted directly with enterprises (e.g., hotel operators, manufacturers, office tenants), supported by external brokers such as Savills. Revenue is generated from one-time project sale/licensing of developed assets to institutional buyers, alongside asset management fees; financing structures span traditional project financing, fund structures, joint ventures, and service developer arrangements. The company had 11–50 employees as of the most recent disclosure, with active hiring flagged in project development, letting, asset management, and public relations.

In September 2023 DIEAG completed a material leadership refresh, installing Robert Sprajcar as CEO, co-founder Martin Rasch as CFO, and co-founder Thomas Mohr as COO; the Supervisory Board was expanded with Oliver Bortz (ex-Deutsche Bank AG MD, former Chairman of Berliner Bank) and Jürgen Bischoff (former member of the German Management Board at Hines, founder of OVG Bischoff). With a disclosed project volume of approximately EUR 2.5 billion and DGNB/ECORE certifications as differentiators, DIEAG positions itself as one of the leading German-speaking-region developers focused on sustainable, institutional-grade urban districts, while remaining capital-light in headcount terms relative to the scale of its pipeline.
