Reiß & Co.

What Reiß & Co. does

Reiß & Co. GmbH is an independent, privately held real estate investor and project developer founded in Munich in 1999. The firm specializes in the development and management of commercial real estate — primarily office, residential, hotel, and retail properties — across four German metropolitan markets (Munich, Stuttgart, Berlin, and Hamburg) supported by three regional offices. Portfolio market value exceeds €1 billion, comprising wholly owned assets, joint venture positions, and forward-sold developments to institutional buyers including Deka Immobilien, Zurich Gruppe Deutschland, and the State of Baden-Württemberg. The company is owned by founder Oliver Reiß, with Jürgen Klein as Managing Director, and operates under the umbrella holding Euro Real Estate GmbH.

The firm's service portfolio spans four core lines: Projektentwicklung (new-build and refurbishment project development), Eigentümervertretung (fiduciary owner representation), Fee Developer services for third-party clients, and Asset Management for own and client portfolios. The technical platform relies on conventional real estate development tooling augmented by a digital booking system for student housing and standardized sustainability certifications (DGNB Gold/Platinum, KfW 55, LEED, BREEAM, Wiredscore). Notable developments include the 17-storey HIGHRISE one office tower in Munich (DGNB Gold, sold to Deka in 2017), the dual-brand Courtyard/Residence Inn by Marriott in Munich (first European Residence Inn, 2011), Pariser Höfe Stuttgart (242 apartments, 2012), and the Goethe-Suites micro-apartment building (KfW 55, 2023). The pipeline includes the Berlin Hertzallee urban campus (~150,000 sqm with TU Berlin and BVG), a 380-unit TUM Garching student housing JV with THG Wohnen (Q3 2026 construction start), and a Premier Inn hotel in Hamburg (2028 opening).

Reiß & Co. operates a hybrid revenue model across three streams: (1) fee-based development, owner representation, and asset management services for institutional and high-net-worth private clients; (2) own-balance-sheet investment returns from rental income and asset appreciation; and (3) joint venture and private placement co-investment, generating development fees, carried interest, and shared asset gains alongside capital partners such as PEG Hamburg and THG Wohnen. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, with deal sizes varying from ~€35 million (Goethe-Suites) to over €100 million (HIGHRISE one). Go-to-market is high-touch and relationship-driven: the firm selectively targets a limited number of 'exclusive clients,' sources deals through direct outreach, broker referrals (Savills, Knight Frank, S IMMO), and off-market approaches, with no public marketing or digital campaign activity.
