And knowledge of the people for whom they are intended. This is a mission to which we dedicate ourselves with passion. And which we live in each project. Every day. 3

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT: PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS The more demanding the starting situation, the more decisive it is to assess chances and risks correctly. Consequently, we carefully examine all factors of a real estate project. And pave the way for convincing solutions. For all involved partners. Developing projects with a future requires curiosity and pronounced interest in economic and social structures. Careful balancing of chances and risks creates the foundation for developing new real estate. In collaboration with property owners and investors, we define the goals of the respective real estate, analyse influencing factors and check project feasibility. Our experts who understand the demands of the market and the needs of all involved are aiming to create substantial added value. Thanks to a high degree of expertise and the ability to connect know-how and people, we foster dynamic cooperation with all partners in a project. We create outstanding results in this way. Regardless of whether the development is for offices, administration buildings, industry, residential use or hotels. Even with highly complex projects such as universities, hospitals, and research and laboratory buildings as well as sports arenas. The development of complete city districts also benefits from our long experience and ability to connect with the right partners. Real estate development We develop marketable real estate that provides attractive added value for users and investors Areas of competency Securing properties Analysing market needs and potentials Developing real estate strategies Conducting architecture competitions Conceptualising site and project developments Calculating the returns of real estate Acquiring investors and users Commercialising real estate Planning models We develop real estate in partnership with property owners, investors, users, co-developers, planners, architects, marketers, the public sector and many others 11
NEW CONSTRUCTION: CONNECTING KNOW-HOW DEVELOPING POTENTIAL Thanks to our long years of experience and optimal networking of specific expertise, we realise the complete potential of a new building. And consequently provide sustainable benefits to all partners. Realising projects requires a precisely coordinated organisation, from the concept to realisation. More than 100 key players often work together in this context. We connect the different areas of competency, reduce interfaces and thus create practical and financial added value. Each of our teams is composed of experienced specialists. They constantly check the benchmark figures of performance, quality, costs and deadlines for improvement and savings potential, both in the planning and realisation phases. In this way, we optimise every single piece of property until turnkey handover. And ensure that each project provides sustainable benefits. For all partners. New construction We construct high-quality real estate with profession alism and passion and consequently create sustainable added value for all partners Areas of competency Checking projects for their feasibility Calculating and optimising of projects Initiating, planning and conducting projects up to turnkey handover Implementing complex projects with competent partners Supporting customers after handover Execution models Design-to-cost we optimise real estate for the investment goal As total contractor, we are responsible for the entire real estate project, from planning to execution As general contractor, we are responsible for all construction work until completion of a real estate project We initiate, plan and control projects as project manager 12
REFURBISHMENT AND RENOVATION: CONSERVING VALUES CREATING TRUST Whoever wants to conserve values must recognise values. Only who understands the complex requirements of a project can take all necessary measures to fulfil all the needs of the partners involved. Modernising buildings is a demanding task. It often requires applying the latest technology combined with respect for the basic structure of a building. This is a task that demands sensitivity and expertise. We do everything possible to ensure that users and residents can use the building undisturbed even during renovations. We ensure value conservation and long-term increase in value of real estate thanks to our many years of experience and professional project management. Competent advice and close cooperation with all involved partners creates the basis for this. We aim to achieve excellence while completing on budget and on time. Whether refurbishment or renovation. Reconstruction and Renovation We refurbish and renovate real estate. With competence and respect. For investors and tenants Areas of competency Assessing real estate Checking projects for their feasibility Developing renovation projects Calculating the returns of real estate Optimising renovation or refurbishment projects Implementing projects with competent partners Supporting customers after handover Execution models Design-to-cost we optimise real estate for the investment goal As total contractor, we are responsible for the entire real estate project, from planning to execution As general contractor, we are responsible for all construction work until the completion of a real estate project We initiate, plan and control projects as project manager 15
SUSTAINABILITY: OPENING UP NEW PERSPECTIVES SAFEGUARDING THE FUTURE Fulfil the needs of today s generation without endangering the possibilities of future generations. This quote from the Brundtland Report of 1987 is a decisive guideline for our work. And which is integrated as a criterion in planning and realising real estate. Sustainable development contains three equally important aspects: ecology, social issues and economy. For project development, this means that we promote sustainable sites in the selection of properties. Flexible layouts, a good mixture of users, a high aesthetic standard and low life cycle costs are additional criteria. The data recorded as part of the management show whether our measures have been successful. The results are continually integrated into improving our products and processes. Certifications We recommend planning and realising all buildings according to recognised or international sustainability labels. We manage these processes competently from the planning stage to completion of the project up until receipt of the respective certification. We emphasise tried-and-tested constructions made of environmentally compatible materials and when possible and reasonable using local resources. We specify ecologically compatible materials in invitations to tender. And we seek perfect and professional work during the realisation. Because buildings certified as sustainable, guarantee their value. Now and in the future. 16
