Answer Group brings together experts from various disciplines such as project development, construction, asset management and investment. Thanks to the employees from construction companies in our team of experts, we have a direct connection and can access valuable experience that enables us to better adapt to the specific needs of the construction industry. By pooling the expertise of specialists who think and act like entrepreneurs, we can offer our partners the best possible service and performance.

The foundation of Answer is transparency and competence. All investors on the advisory board are given a say during the joint investment to ensure their voices are heard. This approach guarantees transparency in terms of management fees and profit distribution and enables partnership-based qualitative cooperation. We communicate transparently, in a binding and comprehensible way, with open cards and regular reporting.

We are aligned with the most important German and European climate protection targets and focus on sustainability certificates, mobility factors, green rental contracts and energy certificates. We also promote the installation of renewable energies such as photovoltaic systems and focus on the creation of green spaces to improve air quality in urban landscapes, regulate temperatures during hot spells and promote biodiversity.

Our aim is to protect the climate, increase property values and actively shape urban development. Guided by this philosophy, we select sustainable properties, evaluate each one for its suitability for refurbishment and potential for CO2-optimized refurbishment, and utilize energy-saving building materials to transition buildings into a long-term usage cycle.

The expansion, consolidation, and optimization or even reinterpretation of buildings ensure the optimal use of spatial resources. Changing working models create challenges: Nine-to-five jobs are a thing of the past. Office buildings are becoming meeting places, a second home in multi-use buildings with diverse infrastructure and social, sustainable qualities. By combining human and artificial intelligence and creation, Answer implements models for tomorrow today.
