Wohnbau-Studio

What Wohnbau-Studio does

Wohnbau-Studio is a privately held, family-owned real estate development and brokerage firm headquartered in Ostfildern (Stuttgart metropolitan area), operating in the German market since 1974 and now led by the second generation of the Schaber family. The company operates a hybrid real estate business combining new-construction development (Bauträger), brokerage of existing residential properties (Immobilienmakler), and rental management (Vermietung), with a dedicated student-housing sub-brand (Campo) operating seven locations near Stuttgart universities.

Its product portfolio includes new-construction apartment buildings (e.g., Urban Sky and beyond47 in Killesberg, Immo Löw in Degerloch, Living 365 and MAX. in Ostfildern-Ruit), single-family homes and multi-family buildings for sale, and managed rental apartments. New construction emphasizes sustainable building methods — Holz-Hybrid (timber-hybrid) construction, geothermal and air-source heat pumps with photovoltaic systems and battery storage, and KfW-Efficiency House 55 EE certification, with DGNB Gold certification targeted on select projects. Apartment price points range from €589,800 for compact units to over €2 million for premium penthouses.

The company makes money through three revenue streams: one-time sales of developed new-build units, transaction-fee brokerage commissions (typically 2.38%–3.57% including VAT), and recurring rental income from Campo student residences and select long-term rental apartments. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website, model apartments, open-house events, and a regional sales team, supplemented by referral channels through an ecosystem of 20+ construction and trade partners. The customer base spans end-user families, first-time buyers, individual property investors (who benefit from a 5% Sonderabschreibung tax depreciation), students, and renters, all served exclusively within the Stuttgart region and surrounding municipalities of Baden-Württemberg.
