NH Projektstadt

What NH Projektstadt does

NH Projektstadt (operating under the brand name ProjektStadt) is a German urban development and city planning consulting firm founded in 1980 as a division of Unternehmensgruppe Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt (NHW), a diversified housing and development conglomerate headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. The firm provides integrated urban development services to municipal governments across four German states: Hessen, Thüringen, Baden-Württemberg, and Rheinland-Pfalz. Its service portfolio spans nine core areas: dialog and citizen participation, digital citizen participation, climate-resilient urban development, municipal heat planning (Kommunale Wärmeplanung), land development, funding program acquisition, municipal consulting, concept and procurement procedures, and sustainable district development.

The company operates a B2G (business-to-government) professional services model with project-based revenue mechanics. Service delivery is supported by a proprietary digital participation platform branded 'ProjektStadt Digital' encompassing YourVoice (a 3D visualization tool for citizen engagement), virtual city tours, crowdmapping, and 2D map-based discussion forums. In July 2026 the firm released a major new version of PolisVision, an urban development visualization and planning software. Scale indicators include approximately 70 employees (per company imagefilm), 190+ ongoing projects (2024), 111-140 municipalities served, 128 citizen participation events conducted in 2025, and approximately 47 million EUR in urban development subsidies acquired for clients in 2025. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct consulting engagements and tender responses targeting municipal decision-makers in the firm's four-state operating region. Recognition includes the Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis 2024, CSR Preis 2020, Otto Heinemann Preis 2019, and Kununu Top-Company 2026.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on consulting engagements, project-based contracts, and likely success-based compensation on funding acquisition mandates. The firm does not disclose pricing publicly; engagements appear to be quote-based and project-specific. Customer concentration is fully within the German municipal public sector, providing diversification across many municipalities but full exposure to public sector budget cycles. The firm has no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or expansion beyond its current four-state footprint, positioning it as a mature, niche professional services operator rather than a high-growth venture.
