ZEITGEIST Asset Management

What ZEITGEIST Asset Management does

ZEITGEIST Asset Management is a private European real estate asset manager founded in 2014 and headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic. The firm invests on behalf of private and institutional investors across key European real estate asset classes, with stated investment pillars of Living, Working, and Revitalizing. The company acquires properties and land, develops them into future-proof assets, and transfers them into standing portfolios. As of the latest available reporting, ZEITGEIST reports approximately 2 billion EUR in assets under management and total investment volume, with around 500,000 m² of land area under management, a multinational team drawn from 10 countries, and direct operating presence in five European markets (Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Hungary) via country offices in Prague, Berlin, Milan, Warsaw, and Budapest.

The company's underlying operating model rests on three integrated subsidiaries that sit alongside the core asset management function. HOME by Zeitgeist is a branded platform that manages the firm's own rental apartments in multiple European cities, providing direct-to-tenant rental operations. ZEITRAUM operates temporary and serviced apartments along with flexible furnished student accommodations. ZEITSTROM provides e-infrastructure services to properties, including solar installations and EV charging stations, financing, building, and operating these systems for property owners and developers. Property-level execution is further structured through dedicated Czech PropCo entities that segregate holdings by asset class (rentals, apartments, student housing). The firm also holds a minority position in TIMPLA, a timber modular construction company, supporting its broader ESG and ecological sustainability strategy. Compliance and data protection infrastructure is GDPR-compliant under EU Regulation 2016/679.

ZEITGEIST generates revenue through three primary streams. First, asset management fees are charged to private and institutional investors for portfolio oversight, structured as recurring management mandates. Second, development and transaction economics are captured through property acquisition, financing, development, and transfer into standing portfolios. Third, operating income is generated from the firm's wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries through rental income (HOME by Zeitgeist), serviced accommodation revenue (ZEITRAUM), and energy infrastructure services (ZEITSTROM). Customer segments comprise private investors seeking ESG-compliant European real estate exposure and institutional investors including pension funds, insurance companies, and family offices. The firm is led by co-founders Peter Noack (Managing Partner, representing the International division) and Sebastian Junghänel (Managing Director), with a CFO, country-level Managing Directors, and dedicated heads of asset management, finance and controlling, and property management.
