What BIM does

BIM Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH is a 100% state-owned real estate management company (Landesunternehmen) of the State of Berlin, founded in 2003 and headquartered at Keibelstraße 36 in Berlin-Mitte. It serves as the mandated central real estate service provider for the SILB (Sondervermögen Immobilien des Landes Berlin) portfolio, managing, renting, and developing more than 5,000 state-owned properties across categories that include schools, government offices, cultural sites, courts, police facilities, and fire stations. Its customer base is effectively a single counterparty — Land Berlin (Senat und Bezirksämter) — with vertical account managers per tenant segment and a 24/7 Serviceleitstelle emergency hotline (0800-0008173) backed by BIMvorOrt video-triage technology.

The company operates a portfolio of in-house digital platforms: the FM-Portal (with KBU small-construction maintenance and ITC integrated technical controlling), the Einkaufsportal (EKP) for procurement integrated with Berlin's public award platform, the CliB-Portal for cluster information exchange, the Gremienportal for supervisory board work, Matomo for self-hosted privacy-first web analytics, and the Bauteilauktion — an auction platform for reselling reusable building components that underpins the company's Re-Use / circular construction initiative. Supplementary revenue and impact streams include film and event location rentals via the Filmcommission Berlin Brandenburg network, public tenders (above 500,000 EUR publicly advertised), Konzept- und Bieterverfahren for urban development, and Lotterieverfahren for recreational parcels.

BIM's revenue mechanics mix managed-services fees from the state budget, rental income (commercial, residential, recreational, stepped rent / Staffelmiete arrangements), auction proceeds from the Bauteilauktion, and project-based funding including BEG EM subsidies for energy-efficient renovations. Quantified sustainability outcomes include 22.9 million EUR in energy cost savings in 2024 from efficiency measures rolled out since 2018, 16.8 MWp of installed photovoltaic capacity, 191 EV charging points, and emission reductions such as 53 tonnes CO2 per year avoided by the renovated Feuerwache Charlottenburg-Nord. Major capital projects in active delivery include the ICC Berlin revitalization, Dragonerareal (Bebauungsplan 2-48), Haus der Statistik, Feuerwache Charlottenburg-Nord, the Ethics Centre for Polizei Berlin, and up to ~620 new workspaces in the denkmalgeschütztes Industriehaus am Rosenthaler Tor from 2030.

Direct peers

• Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben (BImA): Federal German real estate agency managing federal government properties nationwide. Same statutory, non-commercial mandate model as BIM (manage public real estate on behalf of a public owner) but at federal level with a much larger and more diverse portfolio.
• berlinovo Immobilien Gesellschaft mbH: Berlin state-owned real estate company focused on residential and commercial property for public-interest use. Same public-owner mandate model and same Berlin geography as BIM, but oriented toward housing/portfolio investment rather than facility management.
• Staatliches Baumanagement Niedersachsen: State-owned construction and real estate manager for Lower Saxony, providing building management and construction services to state authorities. Direct functional equivalent of BIM operating in another German federal state.
• Landesbetrieb Bau und Immobilien Hessen (LBIH): State-owned real estate and construction manager for the German state of Hesse. Closely comparable to BIM in mandate, service portfolio (FM, construction, project development) and state-ownership structure.
• Staatsbetrieb Sächsisches Immobilien- und Baumanagement (SIB): State-owned real estate and construction manager for the Free State of Saxony. Same integrated FM + construction + leasing mandate model as BIM, serving public-sector tenants across another German state.
• Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb NRW (BLB NRW): State-owned real estate manager for the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Operates with an identical public-sector mandate model to BIM (managing state-owned properties, construction, leasing) but at significantly larger scale, making it the closest functional twin outside Berlin.
• Gebäudemanagement Schleswig-Holstein (GMSH): State-owned building management entity for Schleswig-Holstein providing construction, facility management and real estate services to state clients. Mirrors BIM's public-mandate structure at a smaller state level.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE Group: Global commercial real estate services firm offering property management, facilities management and project management. Comparable to BIM only at the operational level (FM service delivery) but as a private-sector commercial incumbent rather than a public-mandated entity.
• Vonovia SE: Europe's largest residential real estate company with a broad portfolio across Germany. Not state-mandated and commercially driven, but overlaps with BIM in large-scale property management, CapEx planning and energy renovation of building portfolios at scale.

Regional players

• Gewobag Wohnungsbau-Aktiengesellschaft Berlin: Berlin municipal housing association managing tens of thousands of residential units. Operates exclusively in Berlin like BIM but focuses on subsidized housing rather than administrative/public buildings; serves as a potential strategic model for future portfolio expansion.
