What LIST Gruppe does

LIST Gruppe is a privately held, fourth-generation German construction and real estate group headquartered in Nordhorn and operating from 13 regional offices across Germany. Founded in 1901, the company ranks among the top 50 of more than 80,000 German construction firms and delivers integrated real estate services across the full lifecycle: development, consulting and planning, revitalization, and turnkey construction. Its asset-class coverage spans logistics and industrial, production, hospitality, residential, office, healthcare and social real estate, public buildings, trade and retail, cold storage, and data centers.

The group's operating model is built on a multi-subsidiary matrix: LIST Develop (Commercial, Social, Residential) for project development, LIST Eco for sustainability consulting, LIST Ingenieure and intecplan for engineering, seven regional LIST Bau general contractor entities for self-performed construction, and LIST BiB (Bauen im Bestand) for revitalization. Underlying technology centers on BIM-based digital planning integrated with DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM sustainability certification workflows, life cycle cost analysis, and EU taxonomy compliance assessment, with demonstrated outcomes including DGNB Platinum certification for the FIEGE Ecologistics Park Greven.

LIST Gruppe generates revenue through project-based contracts as general contractor and developer, primarily via direct enterprise sales to corporate clients, real estate investors, and institutional logistics developers (Goodman, FIEGE, GARBE, VERDION, Fraport, Dietz AG, VW Immobilien, Infineon, REWE, Deichmann) and through competitive and negotiated public tenders for municipalities (cities of Krefeld, Recklinghausen, GMH Hamburg). Pricing is project-specific with no published tiers. The company is family-owned with no external parent, is not publicly traded, and has not disclosed revenue. Leadership consists of CEO Dirk Rehaag, CFO Markus Figenser, and Supervisory Board Chairman Gerhard List.
