📅 The German Ifo Institute published their annual residential construction study “Zur aktuellen Lage im Wohnungsbau” (translated: “Current Status of Residential Real Estate Industry”) last week. No doubt the real estate industry is currently facing a time of hardship it didn’t need to face for a long time, but finally this very extensive real estate cycle came to its end.

📑Unfortunately many real estate developers need to restructure their business by cutting off their development pipeline, while the investment market is slowing down significantly. This shift has placed immense pressure on all market participants as investments are currently made very selectively. On the flip side, the real estate industry must also focus on updating their assets to transform portfolios into future-proof investments.

😓 The priority for many is undeniably to secure their existing business, often overshadowing most of the tasks related to ESG. However, it’s crucial to remember that delaying the implementation of ESG measures might lead to potential refinancing challenges, resulting in escalated refinancing costs with further consequences.

🏎 So, we are urging real estate owners and investors to transferring the properties into energy producing units as this is a first milestone to align with the taxonomy criteria. This can be achieved without any CAPEX for the landlords, while securing a further income, which is not harming the tax position of the investment. And with Immo-PV, we at Deinland offer the real estate industry a simple and financially attractive solution from a single source.
