What Feldhoff & Cie. does

Feldhoff & Cie. Holding GmbH is a Frankfurt-based communications consultancy founded in 2003 by Paul Jörg Feldhoff, focused exclusively on the German real estate sector. The firm operates from floors 8-10 of the WESTEND TOWER and is led by a five-partner management team (Chairman Paul Jörg Feldhoff alongside Sandra Günther, Dr. Michael Kasch, Bastian Weingärtner, and Christoph Schäfer), with a roster of approximately 35 named professionals spanning partners, directors, senior advisors, and senior associates.

The business is organised around three service lines: Consulting (brand concepts, acceptance communications, special situations), Communications (corporate, financial, and internal communications), and Congress & Event Management (the regional Real Estate Forum running across six German cities for 15 years, the multi-themed Real Estate Summit series covering ESG, Innovation, Wohnen, and Women, plus bespoke client events). All services are delivered on a modular basis and are commissioned individually or in combination, targeting enterprise clients across real estate developers, capital providers, advisors, brokers, proptech firms, and law firms active in the German market.

The firm is part of the 3F Group, a property-sector holding that also houses PAR Capital Advisors (placement agent), Leaderslead Advisory (executive search), and Hendricks & Schwartz (political communications, joined January 2022). This structure, combined with cooperation-partner representation in Amsterdam and London, gives the firm a multi-service platform within the German-speaking and broader European real estate industry. Revenue model is professional services on a project basis; no pricing, revenue, or funding data is publicly disclosed.
