BERLINHAUS administration

What BERLINHAUS administration does

Berlinhaus Verwaltung GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered real estate company that operates as the asset, property, and leasing management arm of the Prajs & Drimmer Familiengruppe family office. Founded over 50 years ago, the company manages a diversified portfolio of residential apartments, commercial offices, retail spaces, medical centers, hotels, and parking facilities across 24+ German cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Dresden, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Minden. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Wohnhaus Minden GmbH, managed by Haus&Wert Verwaltung GmbH, oversees approximately 2,600 rental apartments in the Minden region alongside office and medical buildings.

The business model is built on recurring monthly rental income from residential, commercial, and parking assets, distributed through a direct-to-consumer model: an in-house online property search portal with filters for location, property type, and size, supplemented by region-specific phone hotlines (residential rental, commercial rental, and regional offices in Dresden and Hamburg) and weekend field-service viewings. Tenant services include a 24/7 emergency hotline, scheduled maintenance (staircase cleaning, garden maintenance, winter service), QR-code-enabled repair request submission, and strategic energy procurement that has historically delivered 27%+ ancillary cost savings versus the DMB operating cost index. Operations are run by Managing Shareholders David Prajs and Sruel Prajs, with Thomas Grube and Robert Jung as Managing Directors, alongside Izchak Prajs.

Beyond rental operations, Berlinhaus is active in real estate development, with ongoing projects including the Bricks&Courts mixed-use campus in Berlin Tiergarten, the Berliner Straße commercial/retail complex in Berlin Zehlendorf (designed by Tchoban & Voss), the Kasernenstraße development in Düsseldorf, and a ~€4 million modernization of the Gaußstraße property in Minden covering 112 apartments. The digital infrastructure is modest: a WordPress-based multilingual website, Google Analytics/AdWords and Matomo for web analytics, and social media plugins; there is no proprietary technology platform, no API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Direct peers

• Accentro Real Estate AG:
• Noratis AG: Smaller German residential property company (~3,500 units) with focus on value-add opportunities in secondary German markets. Closely comparable in scale to the Berlinhaus portfolio with similar long-term rental approach and active capex-driven value creation.
• LEG Immobilien SE: German residential property company focused on North Rhine-Westphalia, managing ~165,000 apartments. Closely comparable long-term residential rental management model with regional concentration in markets overlapping Berlinhaus's western German footprint.
• TAG Immobilien AG: German residential property company with ~85,000 apartments, focused on northern and eastern German markets. Comparable rental management model with similar geographic footprint to Berlinhaus's 24+ city portfolio, especially in the eastern markets.
• Grand City Properties SA: Family-influenced German residential property company with ~60,000 apartments. Closely comparable to Berlinhaus in governance structure (family-controlled), long-term rental focus, and multi-city German footprint - a strong structural analog despite the larger scale.
• Adler Group SA: German residential property company with ~70,000 apartments, focused on eastern German markets. Comparable long-term residential rental model, currently undergoing balance sheet restructuring that provides a cautionary case on leverage and capex capacity.

Broad incumbents

• Vonovia SE: Germany's largest residential property company, managing ~500,000+ apartments across Germany. Direct business model overlap (long-term residential rental management) but at massively larger scale and with public market discipline. Provides national benchmark for German residential operations.

Others

• Dussmann Group: German facility management and property services company providing technical, infrastructural, and commercial real estate services. Comparable on the integrated real estate services delivery model and the multi-service tenant support infrastructure Berlinhaus operates.
• Gegenbauer Services GmbH: German facility services and property management company providing building services, technical maintenance, and tenant support to commercial and residential real estate. Comparable on the property/facility management service delivery model and the in-house technical services Berlinhaus provides.
• Apleona Group GmbH: German property and facility management services company providing outsourced technical, commercial, and infrastructure services to real estate owners. Comparable on the property management services delivery model rather than ownership, with a similar service portfolio to what Berlinhaus delivers for the Prajs & Drimmer group.
