Saller

What Saller does

Saller Unternehmensgruppe is a family-owned, owner-managed commercial real estate investor and developer headquartered in Weimar-Legefeld, Germany. Founded around 1980-1981, the company develops, constructs, leases on long-term agreements, maintains, services, and expands shopping centers, retail parks and specialist retail properties for its own portfolio. Saller operates more than 500 commercial properties across Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Austria, and serves national and European retail chains — including Lidl, Aldi, Action, dm, CCC, Sinsay, Rossmann, Woolworth and Media Expert — as anchor tenants under multi-year leases. Tenant relationships are supported by an integrated full-service model spanning project development, architecture, construction, leasing, facility management and center management delivered from a single source, supplemented by a dedicated online leasing portal (saller-leasing.com) and regional field sales offices in Wrocław, Košice and Otvice.

The business model rests on long-term rental income from a self-owned and self-managed property portfolio, complemented by one-time project development revenue and managed facility services. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary ARCOS D green energy GmbH, Saller generates renewable electricity from 31 photovoltaic systems, 4 wind turbines and 3 combined heat and power plants, supplying more than 10,000 people and reducing operating cost exposure to grid energy. The company holds DGNB Silver certification for the JenTower office/administrative building and was awarded the 2026 Złoty Herb Powiatu Głogowskiego for Galeria Glogovia's regional impact. Headcount sits in the 101-250 range across 17 specialized departments, and the company reports double-digit annual growth sustained over multiple years. Humanitarian activities are conducted through the wholly-owned Medi-Help gGmbH (founded April 16, 2019) and partnerships with organizations including SOS Children's Villages, Caritas, Misereor and Deutsche Krebshilfe.
