What Das Projekt does

It has completed 99 projects over 25 years, with 3 currently active, spanning office, hotel, residential, retail, logistics, and mixed-use asset classes, and has delivered multiple DGNB Gold- and Silver-certified and LEED Gold-certified developments.

The business model is straightforward project-based professional services: revenue is generated through negotiated fees per engagement, typically structured around project scope, size, and the HOAI Leistungsphasen covered. das projekt does not develop proprietary technology; instead, it leverages a continuously growing network of regional architecture and engineering partners (Netzwerkpartner) to assemble project-specific specialist teams, enabling the firm to scale delivery without proportional fixed headcount. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct engagement with property developers and investors, professional referrals, and a project portfolio website as the primary marketing channel. The customer base is concentrated in Berlin with selected mandates in Munich, Odelzhausen, and Hennigsdorf, and includes notable engagements for clients such as Peach Property, WOKS, Prime Development Property, and Süsskind & Rokeach.

Operationally, das projekt is a privately held GmbH with no external funding, no disclosed parent company, and concentrated ownership with founder Bernard Behrens as managing shareholder. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and is registered in Berlin (HRB 78855). Its competitive positioning rests on the single-source Generalplaner model, deep expertise in sustainable building certification (DGNB, LEED), and 25 years of operating track record. Recent strategic activity includes the multi-year STS hotel mandate in Munich (the first material expansion outside Berlin) and continued delivery of large-scale commercial projects such as Cuvry Campus and Greifswalder Straße 168 through 2026.
