Real Estate Strategy · Focus
Industrial real estate: when the site becomes a lever.
Europe's industrial base is reorganising. For owners of production sites, this creates risks — and room for manoeuvre that is used far too rarely.
The situation
A market in transition.
Energy costs, shifting demand, and structural change are putting pressure on manufacturing companies across Europe. Plants are being consolidated, capacity adjusted, investments prioritised. In this environment, an asset that has simply "been there" for decades moves into focus: the company's own real estate.
Production sites tie up substantial capital — capital that is often needed far more urgently in operations, transformation, or deleveraging. Treating real estate strategically creates room for manoeuvre before circumstances demand it.
Sale-and-leaseback
Selling the operating property while leasing it back long-term: liquidity is released, operations continue unchanged. A financing instrument independent of your house bank.
Sale of expansion land
Reserve plots that will foreseeably never be built on are capital without function. We assess partial sales, planning status, and buyer groups — from the neighbouring business to developers.
Balance sheet optimisation
Real estate transactions directly affect equity ratio, leverage, and rating. We structure sales to strengthen your financing position — aligned with your tax advisors and banks.
Special situations
Restructuring, insolvency, site closure: we work with management, administrators, and creditors on fast, robust solutions — including under time pressure.
Why us
Focus instead of a catch-all category.
We understand production
Ceiling heights, crane runways, utilities, third-party usability — we assess industrial assets from the logic of their use, not from a broker's catalogue.
We know the buyers
From specialised industrial investors to corporates and developers with conversion potential: we know who is looking for which assets — and who can deliver in special situations.
We speak Mittelstand
Most advisors think in "Industrial & Logistics". We think from the company outwards: what the business needs, what the shareholders need, what the bank needs — and what the market will bear.
The first step
Let's talk about your property.
Discreet, without obligation, and at eye level — in person, by phone, or online.
