EUREF-Campus

What EUREF-Campus does

EUREF AG (operating as EUREF-Campus) is a private German real estate developer and campus operator headquartered in Berlin-Schöneberg, incorporated as an Aktiengesellschaft since 2008. The company owns and operates two mission-driven innovation campuses, a 5.5-hectare site in Berlin (135,000 m² of fully leased rental space, 7,000 tenant employees, 150+ companies and research institutions) and a 80,000+ m² site in Düsseldorf (approximately 4,000 employees), both built around the themes of energy transition, sustainable mobility, and decarbonization. The campuses feature purpose-built LEED-certified office buildings (Gold and Platinum), a campus-wide micro smart grid delivering CO2-neutral heating and cooling, KfW-55 efficiency construction, integrated EV charging, and landmark venues including the renovated Gasometer in Berlin and the EUREF-Kuppel in Düsseldorf.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based office and commercial leasing (the core and recurring revenue stream), supplemented by transaction-based event venue rental (Gasometer, conference rooms, EUREF-Kuppel), campus catering (online shop), paid parking (Q-Park partnership in Düsseldorf), and professional services via the wholly-owned subsidiary EUREF-Consulting (architecture, engineering, and project management for green buildings, 300+ projects since 1979). The customer base is segmented into established enterprises (GASAG AG occupying ~18,000 m² as anchor, Deutsche Bahn, Schneider Electric, NBB Netzgesellschaft, dena), research institutions (TU Berlin, MCC, Mobility2Grid consortium), startups, and event organizers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise leasing through the property management team, with demand for the Berlin campus currently exceeding supply at full occupancy and Düsseldorf actively onboarding new tenants in 2025.

The company's strategic positioning targets the premium end of sustainable commercial real estate, leveraging regulatory leadership (meeting Germany's 2045 CO2 climate targets since 2014), brand recognition as a European flagship for the energy transition, and a curated ecosystem spanning government, industry, research, and startups. Major partners include GASAG Group (which also operates the central campus energy plant), Schneider Electric, Deutsche Bahn, IN4climate.NRW, NRW.Energy4Climate, and BDEW. Leadership is founder-influenced, with Reinhard Müller (Dipl. Ing. Architekt) as the visionary behind the campus concept, Karin Teichmann as Speaker of the Executive Board, and Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grube as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Broad incumbents

• Skanska: Swedish construction and commercial property developer with a strong sustainability agenda and green-building portfolio. Comparable as a large incumbent commercial real estate player operating in the same German/Nordic sustainability-real-estate category.
• Lendlease: Global real estate and investment group with a stated focus on sustainable urban regeneration projects. Comparable to EUREF at the conceptual level as a large developer of sustainability-themed mixed-use districts, though at significantly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Station F: Paris-based startup campus operating from a converted railway depot. Comparable as an operator of large-scale innovation campuses with curated tenant mixes, event programming, and corporate partnerships.
• 22@Barcelona: Barcelona's innovation district that converted a former industrial area into a cluster of tech, energy, and research companies. Comparable to EUREF-Campus as a brownfield-to-innovation-district transformation anchored by universities and corporates.
• Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC): Operator of multi-tenant innovation campuses with a mix of startups, corporates, and research institutions. Comparable to EUREF-Campus in business model and tenant ecosystem design, though focused more on startups than on energy/mobility verticals.
• Stockholm Royal Seaport: Stockholm's flagship sustainable urban development project, converting a former harbor into a climate-positive district. Comparable to EUREF-Campus in its focus on CO2 reduction, smart energy systems, and industry-academia co-location.
• Masdar City: Abu Dhabi's planned sustainable city and free zone. Like EUREF-Campus, Masdar City is a master-planned urban district built around renewable energy, sustainability, and innovation tenants, and serves as a real-world demonstration project rather than a conventional real estate development.
• Hammarby Sjöstad: Stockholm's pioneering eco-district built on a former industrial/harbor site. Shares EUREF's DNA of brownfield redevelopment, integrated energy systems, and sustainability targets ahead of regulation.

Others

• Schneider Electric: Global energy management and automation specialist that is an EUREF partner and award-granter (Sustainability Impact Award). Comparable as an enabling technology and ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor.
• Arup: Global engineering and sustainability consulting firm involved in many climate-neutral building and district projects. Comparable to EUREF-Consulting as an adjacent consulting/services peer in climate-neutral building design.
