Revenue model

1. Commercial property leasing (Core&Shell): The company develops commercial properties (laboratory, office, production buildings) and leases them under long-term Core&Shell arrangements. Tenants such as GANZIMMUN Diagnostics secured 20-year leases. Properties are developed speculatively or pre-let, with rental income as the primary revenue stream.
2. Residential property leasing and sales: Development of residential properties (e.g., Kirchblick in Mainz Altstadt with 17 apartments) for rental income or sale.
3. Build-to-suit / tenant-specific development: Custom development tailored to specific tenant requirements (e.g., Xylem Analytics for R&D and production, HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics for cleanroom manufacturing). Revenue realized upon delivery and commencement of lease or sale.
