Our Approach

We don’t measure value by the size of a property, but its potential.

Real estate development requires profound knowledge and understanding of the location, any planning covenants and easements, as well as financing. Yet, there’s more to successful property development: it’s a vision that grows, matures and finally becomes reality. This is why we strive to recognise, realise and establish potential value enhancements in a sustainable manner. This is how we create lasting values – our objective.

WALTER FRIES Immobilien is a service provider, developer and visionary. Above all, it is the crucial link between authorities, tenants, residents, investors and lenders. This requires great know-how beyond specialist knowledge. Often we act as mediators. We find financing solutions for existing property in challenging situations by mediating between creditors and debtors. We strive to understand the interests of all parties involved in the project and bring the necessary tact and instinct to the table. This allows us to develop solutions that each party can identify with.

Our activities work together in the long-term, rather than targeting short-term success. We are aware of our responsibility. To society and the environment. In order to accomplish this important task, our planning is anchored in sustainability and foresight. Our real estate development aims to complement the infrastructure in a meaningful way, to enrich the location and impact an ever larger area and public.
