Stadt und Land

What Stadt und Land does

STADT UND LAND Wohnbauten-Gesellschaft mbH is a municipal housing corporation wholly owned by Land Berlin, founded in 1924 and headquartered in Berlin-Neukölln. It manages approximately 53,300 residential units and over 900 commercial properties in its own portfolio across Berlin and the surrounding metropolitan area, plus more than 10,000 additional residential units and over 200 commercial units on behalf of affiliated third-party entities (WoGeHe, STADT UND LAND Schöneberg GmbH, STADT UND LAND Nord-Süd GmbH, and STADT UND LAND Johannisthal GmbH). Its tenant base spans the general public, WBS housing-benefit recipients (~30% of new builds), students, seniors, and refugees, with rents governed by the Kooperationsvereinbarung with Land Berlin — averaging 7.09 EUR/sqm net cold in existing stock, materially below Berlin market levels.

The company's core offering is Wohnungsbewirtschaftung (residential property management), supported by dedicated new-build (Neubau), renovation/modernization (Sanierung und Modernisierung), and specialized tenant services (student, senior, refugee, and apartment-exchange programs). Operational technology centers on a SAP ERP backbone, a proprietary online apartment-search portal with PlanNet tenant extranet, and on-premise Matomo web analytics. The proprietary TYPENHAUS standardized modular construction system (including the TYPENHAUSeco climate-optimized variant) underpins new-build efficiency and was first deployed at scale at the Buckower Felder quarter (~900 apartments completed 2026), which integrates 4th-generation district heating with Berliner Stadtwerke, wastewater heat recovery, rooftop photovoltaics on ~40% of roofs, and a Berlin 'sponge city' rainwater pilot.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring residential rent (subscription model, monthly billing) and commercial rent on the owned portfolio, with a secondary managed-services stream from third-party property management. Marketing and tenant acquisition are entirely direct-to-consumer: the company website, central customer-service hotline, four neighborhood service offices, the WBS allocation system, and community events such as the Hellersdorfer Balkonkino and Mini-WM. Growth is mandated by the Berlin Roadmap framework — targeting ~56,500 own units by 2034 with ~€997M of new-build/acquisition capex, ~€956M of renovation capex over ten years, and participation in the consortium-wide Roadmap 2.0 goal of ~56,000 additional affordable units by 2035. The company is led by Managing Directors Natascha Klimek and Ingo Malter, with Dr. Christoph Landerer chairing the Supervisory Board.

Product overview

STADT UND LAND is a municipal housing company (städtische Wohnungsbaugesellschaft) providing residential property management services primarily in Berlin. The offering is organized as a portfolio of interrelated housing services rather than a unified software platform. Core operations center on Wohnungsbewirtschaftung (residential property management) — the management of approximately 53,300 apartments and 900+ commercial units in the company's own portfolio, plus additional units managed for third parties. Supporting this core are service modules including Neubau (new construction with ~997 Mio. Euro investment planned toward 56,500 apartments by 2034), Sanierung und Modernisierung (renovation/modernization with ~956 Mio. Euro planned over 10 years), and specialized offerings for WBS holders, students, seniors, and apartment exchanges. Digital tenant services include an online Wohnungssuche portal with bookmark functionality and a Zentraler Kundenservice accessible via phone and portal. Signature projects like the Quartiersentwicklung Buckower Felder (one of Berlin's largest new construction quarters) and the research-oriented Alt-Britz project demonstrate the company's approach to combining housing provision with sustainability innovation.
