The Centralis Immobilien Group can look back on an extremely successful 2025 financial year. The company consistently continued its dynamic growth course and successfully completed five acquisitions of hospitality assets in prime locations in German A and B cities, with a total volume of approx. EUR 175 million.
The Centralis portfolio thus comprises five stabilized assets and six ongoing projects, with a total of 734 serviced apartment units.
For 2026, Centralis has also already secured an exclusive pipeline of further assets with a total volume of over 175 million euros and over 400 additional units.
The projects will all be completed and operational by mid-2028 – most of them even earlier. After completion, the completely renovated or newly constructed assets are regularly leased for 20 years (double net, indexed) and correspond to a core plus profile.
The highly scalable platform is expected to hold the largest portfolio of serviced apartments in Europe in the medium term and will be successively made available to a broader professional investor audience.
“The current growth ensures that we will achieve our ambitious strategic growth plan of mid-2025, at the time of the entry of our partner ActivumSG, well ahead of schedule. Regardless of this, growth is expected to continue. The focus is on prime locations in A and B cities and modern, technology-based operator concepts, because urbanisation and digitalisation are the central value drivers of future-proof portfolios. We see numerous exciting opportunities in the market and our team is highly motivated to build on last year’s successes,” explains Dr. Fabian Vieregge, Co-CEO and co-founder of Centralis.
Expansion of strategic partnerships – implementation strength demonstrated
In addition to the acquisition of ActivumSG, one of the largest independent real estate investment managers in Europe, as the new main shareholder of Centralis in mid-2025, other strategic partnerships were also further intensified. After the successful start of construction of the Breite Gasse project in Nuremberg, Centralis is once again relying on apoprojekt as a construction partner for the construction project in Paul-Heyse-Straße in Munich.
On the operator side, the hospitality specialist also has close contacts with the market-leading operators. For example, the project in Pionierstraße in Düsseldorf was successfully completed on schedule and handed over to Limehome. Other current Centralis projects have also already been leased to Limehome, BobW and Stayery. Centralis intends to carry out a nationwide rollout in Germany and in the future pan-European in parallel to and symbiotically with the operators.
Centralis’ focus is on implementing projects in a risk-reduced manner by always fixing rental contracts, fixed prices for turnkey handover by the general contractor and financing before the respective property is purchased.
“We need strong partners to further scale our business and expand our leading market position as a pioneer in the fast-growing Modern Hospitality / Serviced Apartments segment. With our network in the construction and operating industries, we can ensure the highest institutional standards,” comments Lukas von Lüdinghausen, Co-CEO and co-founder of Centralis.
Workforce grows in parallel with the pipeline – Centralis moves into larger office
In order to keep pace with the rapidly growing project portfolio and to be able to guarantee consistently high quality and speed in implementation, Centralis also expanded its own workforce in a targeted manner at the same time. In particular, Torsten Hönisch joined the team as the new Head of Development (formerly in the same position at Development Partner GmbH) and Dr. Jan van Uden as Director Strategy & Asset Management (formerly Boston Consulting Group). In the course of this personnel reinforcement, the company also moved into new office space in Düsseldorf’s Elisabethstraße.
