German Housing Market 2024 | GRI Club | 28 February 2024 | Schindler Platz, Ringstraße 59, 12105 Berlin, Germany

According to statistics from 2022, 53% of the German population rented their apartments, which is the highest proportion in the European Union. Factors such as economic challenges and the search for amenities and strategic locations are driving the BTR to become a major residential area.

The question remains: What is the secret to retaining tenants and how to ensure competitive rents amid tight land supply and high costs? How can cost challenges be overcome while meeting strict regulations? And last but not least: How do current macroeconomic conditions affect deals?

Members of the GRI Club Germany come together for a collegial discussion about investments in the German BTR real estate market. The conversation is designed to promote deal flow, support interaction with colleagues and create unique opportunities to meet new partners.

The discussion will address topics such as:
• Macro Outlook:
What is the impact on residential deals?
• Affordability and Location:
How to ensure competitive rents amid limited availability and high costs?
• Tenant requirements & ESG:
How to satisfy them and overcome cost challenges?
• Financing:
How do you get the best financing offers for your BTR project?
• Development:
Buy new properties or renew old assets?

What is a club meeting:
• An exclusive, private and regular meeting of our club members.
Who can participate:
• Leading investors, lenders, asset owners and project developers who are active in the German real estate markets.
