What Livos Group does

Livos-Gruppe is a Berlin-based privately held real estate investment, development, and asset management company founded in 2005. The group operates a diversified portfolio of approximately 1.5 million m² of usable floor area across Germany, spanning light industrial, logistics, retail, office, and residential assets, with Assets under Management of approximately €1.5 billion and a project development pipeline of approximately €1.7 billion (450,000 m² across 12 active projects). Its operations cover the full real estate value chain in-house: acquisition (asset or share deals, minimum ticket €5M, €2M in Berlin), planning permission, development, construction, optimization, letting, and asset management. The company employs approximately 100 multidisciplinary professionals, including project developers, architects, specialist planners, legal experts, financing and controlling specialists, and asset managers, with no disclosed external institutional or private equity backing.

The company generates revenue primarily through rental income from its diversified portfolio (tenants span logistics, retail, manufacturing, food service, healthcare, education, and media) and through active asset management that captures returns from repositioning, renovation, development, and long-term portfolio appreciation. Pricing is quoted on a per-square-meter basis and varies materially by location, asset class, and fit-out (e.g., office from €14/m² in Wuppertal to €18/m² in Meschede; retail from €3.5/m² in Nordhausen to €14/m² in Wuppertal). Distribution is sales-led, executed via direct in-house transaction managers and a dedicated acquisition contact, supplemented by broker networks for both acquisitions and large tenant leases. Technology plays no meaningful product role; the disclosed stack is limited to standard web analytics on the corporate website.

Livos-Gruppe serves customers across logistics providers (SK Express Germany), grocery and retail chains (EDEKA, Eurogida), higher education (Bergische Universität Wuppertal), media (Ostsee-Zeitung/Madsack), manufacturing (Piller Entgrattechnik, automotive tenants in Zwickau), and biotech/pharmaceutical research (Pharmapark Radebeul). It also co-develops large-scale residential neighborhoods in Berlin/Brandenburg through joint ventures with Gewobag, including Allee der Kosmonauten (945 units completed or under construction), Landsberger Allee, and Britzer Terrassen (~1,500 units planned). The group is led by Managing Directors Johann Kunz (Asset Management, Letting, Project Development, Legal) and Christian Weigel (Investments, International Business, Controlling, Transaction Management & Finance; appointed August 2025), with Matthias Bahr also serving as Managing Director of group entities.

Direct peers

• Empira Group: Privately-held German real estate investment firm focused on residential, office, and logistics assets across Germany and Austria. Comparable to Livos's diversified German CRE investment approach and value-add strategy; similar size tier.
• alstria office REIT-AG: German pure-play office REIT managing office assets across major German cities. Comparable to Livos's office component (e.g., Madsack/Rostock, Rathaus Galerie office portions) in German office asset management and value-add repositioning.
• Patrizia SE: German-headquartered real estate investment manager with significant German residential and commercial exposure. Comparable to Livos in active asset management, German mid-market CRE focus, and full-lifecycle investment capabilities.
• TAG Immobilien AG: German residential real estate company focused on B-cities and value-add apartment repositioning. Closely comparable to Livos's residential rental and Berlin/Brandenburg development strategy, with similar portfolio-management orientation.
• Hamborner REIT AG: German publicly-listed REIT investing in small/mid-sized retail and office properties across Germany. Comparable to Livos's retail centers (Südharz Galerie, Rathaus Galerie) and mid-market office assets; smaller scale but similar diversified CRE strategy.
• DIC Asset AG: German commercial real estate investment and asset manager with offices, logistics, and retail exposure. Closely comparable to Livos's diversified commercial asset management and German nationwide footprint; differs in being primarily third-party-AUM-focused.
• GIEAG Immobilien AG: Privately-held Munich-based real estate developer and investor with diversified office, logistics, and residential projects across Germany. Closely comparable to Livos in being a private, mid-sized German CRE investor/developer with similar nationwide footprint and asset-class mix.

Broad incumbents

• Vonovia SE: Europe's largest residential real estate company with a heavily German portfolio. Comparable to Livos on the residential investment and asset management side, particularly given the Gewobag JV positioning; operates at vastly larger scale as a public DAX-listed company.
• Aroundtown SA: Major German/European commercial real estate company with significant office, hotel, and logistics exposure. Comparable to Livos on diversified CRE investment, value-add repositioning, and German geographic focus; much larger and publicly listed.

Others

• Gewobag Wohnungsbau-Aktiengesellschaft Berlin: Berlin's largest municipal housing company and Livos's JV partner on Allee der Kosmonauten, Landsberger Allee, and Britzer Terrassen. Included as a partner/pe-adjacent entity because the JV economics materially shape Livos's residential development pipeline and competitive positioning in Berlin.
