DV Plan

What DV Plan does

DV Plan GmbH is the in-house architecture and engineering planning office of the DV Immobilien Gruppe, a diversified Bavarian real estate group. Founded in its current legal form in 2016 from the former Bauabteilung of DV Immobilien, DV Plan employs nearly 100 architects, structural engineers, TGA (Technische Gebäudeausrüstung) engineers, civil engineers, landscape planners, technicians, and drafters organized in interdisciplinary teams. The company plans and executes commercial real estate projects across the full lifecycle — from urban development and landscape planning through architectural design, technical building equipment, civil engineering, and tenant fit-out to ongoing property management.

The company operates across four offices in Bavaria (Regensburg, Garching bei München, Unterschleißheim, and Nürnberg) and serves three primary project categories: business parks and office campuses (Business Campus München at Garching and Unterschleißheim, Südwestpark Nürnberg, GewerbePark Regensburg), shopping centers (Donau-Einkaufszentrum Regensburg, Brücken-Center Ansbach), and highway rest stops (Euro Rastpark, 18 locations — Germany's largest private provider). The portfolio encompasses over 798,000 sqm of built rental space with an average annual construction volume of approximately EUR 50 million. Core planning methodology centers on BIM (Building Information Modeling) integrated with interdisciplinary in-house coordination.

DV Plan's business model is professional services revenue on a project-fee basis, with the vast majority of demand sourced from its parent group's owned real estate portfolio — properties the group intends to hold long-term. External mandates from municipal clients (Stadt Regensburg, Stadt Ansbach) and public entities (Flughafen Nürnberg) represent a secondary, relationship-driven revenue stream. Pricing is project-specific, handled via direct inquiry, and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales with no self-serve, digital, or product-led motion; marketing relies on the project portfolio, social media presence on LinkedIn, XING, Facebook, and Instagram, and earned media through the DV Immobilien Gruppe's corporate communications.
