GSG Berlin

What GSG Berlin does

GSG Berlin GmbH is a Berlin-based commercial real estate company founded in 1965 and owned since 2013 by CPI Property Group, a paneuropean real estate conglomerate. The company operates nearly 1 million m² of office, production, workshop, and storage space across 43 commercial courtyards (Gewerbehöfe) and commercial parks (Gewerbeparks) in 8 Berlin districts, serving over 1,500 tenants ranging from SMEs, startups, and craftsmen to global corporations. Spaces range from 50 m² to over 20,000 m² at monthly unit pricing between €6.50/m² (industrial) and €46.68/m² (premium flexible offices).

The portfolio is anchored by heritage-listed buildings such as the AEG complex at Gustav-Meyer-Allee (109,000 m²) and the GSG-Hof Geneststraße (33,000 m²), combined with modern commercial parks under the econopark sub-brand and a new sustainable development project called FRAMEZ. Underlying infrastructure includes a proprietary fiber optic network operated in partnership with Campus, Hofnetz & Events GmbH, 5.75 MWp of photovoltaic generation across 39,000+ m² of roof space, EV charging stations, communal courtyard kitchens, and WiredScore Platinum/Gold certifications across multiple properties. Recent technology investments include an AI Integration Suite (2025) covering voice-bots for after-hours tenant inquiries, custom internal GPTs, and AI-accelerated floor plan generation.

The business model is direct-to-tenant space rental on recurring monthly contracts, complemented by value-add tenant services (fiber internet, EV charging, property management, conference facilities), online property search via gsg.de, a 24/7 phone consultation line, and on-site viewings. The company also publishes the annual Berliner Gewerbe-Pulsschlag market report in partnership with bulwiengesa and pursues selective portfolio expansion, exemplified by the 2020 acquisition of Sauerbier-Höfe. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the entity operates as a privately held subsidiary under CPI Property Group with 51-200 employees and is led by Oliver Schlink (CFO) and Sebastian Blecke (operational Managing Director).

Regional players

• Bauwert AG: Bauwert is a Berlin-based real estate developer active in residential and mixed-use projects across the city. Competes with GSG in the Berlin real estate market for land, tenants, and brand awareness, though with a different product mix.
• Pandion Real Estate GmbH: Pandion is a Berlin-focused real estate developer specializing in residential and commercial projects in the city. Comparable as a Berlin real estate competitor with overlapping tenant/customer awareness, though predominantly residential rather than commercial courtyards.

Direct peers

• BEOS GmbH: BEOS (now part of Swiss Life Asset Managers) manages commercial and industrial property portfolios across Germany, including mixed-use business parks and courtyards. Operates a comparable business model of providing flexible office, production, and warehouse space to SMEs and corporates across multiple German cities.

Comparable business model of owning and operating industrial/commercial space for B2B tenants with similar sustainability initiatives (PV, EV charging).

Broad incumbents

• DIC Asset AG: DIC Asset AG is a leading German commercial real estate company managing office, retail, and logistics properties. While broader and more diversified nationally than GSG Berlin, it overlaps directly in the German CRE operating model for institutional and corporate tenants.
• Aroundtown SA: Aroundtown is one of Europe's largest listed commercial real estate companies, with major office and hotel holdings concentrated in Germany including Berlin. As a pan-European incumbent, it competes with GSG in Berlin's office segment while operating at significantly greater scale.
• TLG Immobilien AG: TLG Immobilien (now part of Aroundtown) was a major German listed commercial real estate company with significant Berlin office holdings. Comparable in office CRE operations and tenant mix in Berlin, though primarily a large-tenant institutional operator rather than SME-focused.
