Corporate news
As one of Europe’s leading landlords, we provide homes to more than one million people. We also offer our tenants a whole range of services to help make their lives easier. These range from the maintenance and modernization of our portfolio to comprehensive services designed to make life even better.
This is why our employees are on the job every day, performing maintenance work, maintaining green spaces, and taking care of everything that needs to be done in the neighborhoods. In addition, our tenants—in buildings with the appropriate infrastructure—can take advantage of electricity rates with a high proportion of renewable energy, such as from rooftop solar panels. We provide detailed information about the source of the energy and the relevant certifications transparently in each offer. We also have high-speed internet available in our neighborhoods. Special insurance plans round out our service portfolio for our customers.
Digitalization is a key component in providing our tenants with additional services and living comfort, as well as in better planning and managing our buildings and neighborhoods. As part of a pilot project, we have created digital models (“digital twins”) for selected buildings in Bochum. Based on these models, we can, for example, simulate solar radiation and other site-specific factors and assess whether the installation of photovoltaic systems at certain locations makes technical sense. This allows us to develop and further improve data-driven energy and heating supply concepts in our neighborhoods.
Our subsidiary ecowo manages other owners’ residential properties in an economical, forward-looking way. Ecowo optimizes financial planning, takes care of service charge bills, oversees owners’ meetings, and coordinates all property service providers.
In addition, ecowo negotiates exclusive purchase conditions for property owners and assumes responsibility for the long-term securing of energy supplies, meaning that owners can enjoy all these benefits, all in one place.
