What CH2 Contorhaus Hansestadt Hamburg AG does

CH2 Contorhaus Hansestadt Hamburg AG is a Hamburg-based, privately-held (AG-structured, unlisted) sales and distribution partner for project developers of new-build capital investment real estate in Germany. Founded in 2007 originally as an emissions house focused on logistics (container and rail investments), the company underwent a full strategic pivot in February 2022 under CEO Romy Gödeke to focus on high-quality investment real estate, specifically holiday properties along the German Baltic Sea coast and premium freehold apartments in Berlin. The company operates with 14 employees from its Hamburg headquarters (Willy-Brandt-Straße 23) and reports cumulative transaction volume of €1.2 billion and more than 20,000 transactions facilitated since founding, with €900 million in subscription volume and €572 million in realized payments from placed direct investments.

The current active project portfolio comprises ten developments with a combined current value of approximately €350 million. Six are Baltic Sea holiday properties (Quartier am Yachthafen, Apartmenthaus Kranichsruh, Yachthafen Barth, The Shoreline Sellin, The Baltic View, Vela Hotel The Breeze) and four are Berlin premium residential projects (NEXUS, MONOS, Signum, Phoenix), with unit prices ranging from €289,900 to €6,250,000. Each project is bundled with a professional rental and property management operator (e.g., VELA Hotels, Relamare), enabling hands-off income generation for end investors.

CH2 generates revenue through per-transaction sales intermediation fees as units are sold to private investors. It does not publicly disclose fee rates. Distribution is executed through an in-house sales team, an on-site presence in Barth, and an exclusive channel network of hand-selected banks, family offices, and independent financial distributors. Core strategic developer relationships are exclusive marketing partnerships with ewp Gruppe, VENTIS AG (combined ~€300M), and VELA Hotels AG. The proprietary technology stack consists of internal digital marketing infrastructure, project-specific websites, and in-house video production capabilities — CH2 is not a technology company and uses no AI/ML capabilities.
