Montibus Asset Management Gmbh

What Montibus Asset Management Gmbh does

Montibus Asset Management GmbH is a privately held, Berlin-based real estate asset management firm serving institutional investors (pension funds, insurance companies, family offices) and real estate investors across five European countries. Founded by Olaf Claessen and Werner Faymann, the firm operates through nine offices in Germany (Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Cologne), Austria (Vienna), the United Kingdom (London), the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and Belgium (Brussels), and reports more than €7.2 billion in projects completed or currently under management, with over 750,000 square meters of repositioned and let properties.

The firm offers a full investment-cycle service stack organized around four pillars: Investment Management (co-investment as operating partner, deal sourcing), Advisory (debt and equity sourcing for recapitalizations, development and construction management, transaction negotiation), Management Services (portfolio, asset, property, and facility management), and Leasing & Transaction Management. An integrated ESG/Sustainability service line addresses environmental criteria, social compatibility, and leadership responsibility. The disclosed senior team comprises approximately eight professionals, each with more than 20 years of European real estate experience focused on Germany.

Montibus makes money primarily through recurring asset management fees on assets under management, transaction and advisory fees tied to deal activity across acquisition, recapitalization, and exit phases, and returns from co-investment alongside institutional investors as operating partner. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales driven by direct relationships and the founders' own professional networks across Europe, with no disclosed technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or digital marketing channels — the firm competes on talent tenure, network access, and pan-European local presence rather than on technology differentiation.
