SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau

What SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau does

SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau AG is a family-owned regional residential property developer headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, that has been building turnkey condominiums and houses in the Nuremberg, Fürth, and Erlangen metropolitan area for approximately 30 years. The company delivers new-build residential product across roughly 58-132 m² unit sizes to private owner-occupier buyers, with approximately 4,000 residential units completed cumulatively. Its commercial footprint is intentionally bounded to the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen metro in Bavaria.

The company operates an unusually integrated value chain for a mid-sized regional developer. Approximately 75 office-based professionals — including architects, civil engineers, structural engineers, construction managers, banking and real estate professionals, and real estate advisors — handle planning and sales, while roughly 80 own specialist tradespeople are employed through wholly-owned subsidiary SCHULTHEISS Hoch- und Tiefbau GmbH (acquired January 2006) to execute the majority of rough construction work. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of turnkey-finished residential property, with fixed all-inclusive pricing (Festpreis) and an optional Sonderwunschmanagement (customization) process for buyer modifications. A smaller, supplementary rental stream exists, administered via external partner Landgraf Immobilien. Distribution is sales-led, anchored by a network of physical model apartments in Nuremberg, Erlangen, and Fürth, plus a model home with attached design exhibition in Nuremberg-Thon opened in 2023.

Technically, SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau AG has begun deploying a wood-hybrid construction method (Holz-Hybridbauweise) using cross-laminated timber (Brettsperrholz) for load-bearing walls combined with conventional solid construction for ceilings and shafts. The method, first applied at the sold-out 26-unit student housing project at Anton-Bruckner-Straße in Erlangen (occupancy targeted for 2025), is sourced and assembled with timber partner Zimmerei Holzner (Amberg) and reportedly reduces construction time by approximately 30% while providing measurable CO2 storage benefits. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, remains in family ownership with no external institutional investors, and operates with a supervisory board chaired by Hans Paul Seel and executive leadership under CEO Martin Heyn.

Revenue model

1. New Residential Property Sales (Condominiums and Houses): SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau AG generates revenue primarily through the sale of newly constructed condominiums and single-family/double houses. Properties are sold turnkey to private buyers. Revenue is one-time per transaction rather than recurring, with the company's own sales force handling the full customer journey from initial interest through key handover.
2. Property Rental Management: Some properties from SCHULTHEISS Wohnbau AG's portfolio are also available for rent. Rental management is outsourced to an external partner, Landgraf Immobilien. This represents a supplementary revenue stream rather than a primary business line.
