The group has raised more than €300m in equity and invested €1.2bn in Germany. It is finalising two major projects: a large residential portfolio in Berlin and an office complex in Eschborn, just outside Frankfurt. Both present opportunities for institutional investors, wealth managers, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. BlueRock Group analyses real estate trends at the macro- and micro-economic level, then identifies promising opportunities. Berlin is an under-valued real estate market, with steady growth anticipated over coming decades. The firm negotiated a great deal in Berlin, securing an average price of €2,500/m2 — when the median runs more than double that. The competitive purchase prices and desirable locations make a strong case for capital protection. Asset sizes range from €3m to €10m. BlueRock Group plans to exit the portfolio in the third or fourth quarter of 2025. In the downside protection scenario, it would pursue unit-by-unit-sales over an eight-year term. BlueRock’s Eschborn portfolio features two recently renovated office buildings, with an occupancy rate of 85 percent and rental income upwards of €2m. Eschborn is a business-friendly city with lower tax rates than Frankfurt — which can be reached by rail in 15 minutes. The CFI.co judging panel presents BlueRock Group with the 2021 award for Best Boutique Real Estate Investment Solutions (DACH).</p>",
