Oberbayerische Heimstätte - Gemeinnützige Siedlungsgesellschaft mbH

What Oberbayerische Heimstätte - Gemeinnützige Siedlungsgesellschaft mbH does

Oberbayerische Heimstätte - Gemeinnützige Siedlungsgesellschaft mbH (operating under the trade name "OH") is a non-profit housing company headquartered in Haar, Bavaria, Germany. Established around 1930, the company has operated for over 90 years in the Upper Bavaria region, providing residential housing and related services to households in the Oberbayern area.

The company's offering is structured around four product lines: Mieten (rental of apartments), Kaufen & Verkaufen (facilitation of buying and selling ownership apartments), Wohnen (broader living services), and Verwalten (property management for third parties). These are delivered directly to tenants, owner-occupiers, and property owners through the company's website at oh-zuhause.de and via telephone contact. The underlying technology stack is unremarkable and undisclosed — the model is a traditional, real-estate-led housing operation rather than a software platform.

Commercially, the company operates a hybrid revenue model. Recurring rental income from its housing portfolio is supplemented by one-time revenue from the sale of ownership apartments and fee-based property management for third-party owners. As a registered gemeinnützige (non-profit) entity under the gGmbH corporate form, the company is subject to German non-profit and social housing regulations, which constrain profit distribution and channel resources back into the housing mission. Strategic activity in 2025 has focused on new construction projects (including 57 sustainable apartments in Wasserburg am Inn and a Kösching development) and a refreshed brand identity, while operating with a lean staff of approximately 20 employees.

Revenue is recurring and driven by the size and occupancy rate of the housing stock.
2. Sale of ownership apartments: The company earns revenue from the sale of ownership apartments (Eigentumswohnungen) to buyers, generating one-time transactional revenue in addition to its recurring rental stream.
