Services

Full-service partner for retail real estate — from a single source.

Whether repositioning, leasing, technical and commercial management, or strategic concept work: we think about properties holistically. With a hands-on mentality and short decision-making paths, we make sure your asset works today and stays relevant tomorrow.

Why CM

We know why centers fail.

Vacancy, declining footfall, rising operating costs, ESG pressure, an investment market in transition — owners and asset managers today face challenges that cannot be solved with off-the-shelf solutions.

We know every one of these situations from our own operational experience. And we know that fast decisions are often worth more than perfect slides.

"We're not a slide-deck consultancy. We're the ones who roll up their sleeves — at the property, with the tenants, with the authorities. That's exactly what makes our clients successful."

More about the team
Our approach

Three steps to a stable, valuable asset.

This is how easy it is to get started with us.

01

Analysis & first conversation

We listen, take a close look at your property and your goals, and deliver an honest baseline assessment within 14 days.

02

Concept

You receive a clear action plan with priorities, timeline and KPIs — no buzzwords, just concrete levers.

03

Delivery & steering

We execute, report transparently and adjust agilely. You retain control, we take responsibility.

Our promise: Quick wins within the first 90 days — or we have an open conversation about the consequences. Fair, partnership-driven, no contractual fine print.

What's at stake

Asset management isn't administration. It's value creation.

Without active management

  • Footfall losses due to lack of market alignment
  • Vacancy that hardens and devalues neighboring spaces
  • Rising operating costs without optimization levers
  • Missed ESG requirements and falling investor appeal
  • Tenants leaving because service and marketing are missing

With CM at your side

  • Rising visitor footfall and longer dwell time
  • High occupancy rate through active tenant mix
  • Optimized operating costs and ESG-compliant operation
  • Clear reporting standards for investors and owners
  • A property that works today and stays relevant tomorrow

— when it's done right.

ESG · Environment, Social, Governance

Responsibility that lands at the property.

We see ESG not as a reporting obligation but as operational asset management. Our measures translate directly into NOI, tenant retention and asset value — from lighting concepts to plastic neutrality.

E · Environment

Designing for a fitter climate.

At Rathaus Center Dietzenbach and Vita Center Chemnitz we overhauled the lighting concept on ecological lines — LED retrofits cut energy consumption and electricity costs measurably. A UV heat-shield film on the glass roof at Pösna Park reduces cooling demand.

At Großpösna, mobility is a central theme: 8 EV charging stations for cars and bicycles plus a free shuttle bus for visitors future-proof the center. An insect habitat and flowering meadow round out the concept ecologically.

With our own CHP plant and a planned heating plant at Pösna Park, we are moving toward our own power supply. Photovoltaic systems are planned in Northeim and Chemnitz. We integrate the Green Lease Agreement into our leases, prefer green electricity and sustainable consumables, and pursue certifications such as DGNB. Sustainability shapes our office routine too — we use the Ecosia search engine.

S · Social

Strengthening communities.

We use our expertise and resources to make a positive impact in the communities where we work — by supporting non-profit organizations and associations.

G · Governance

Leading responsibly.

In 2020 CM Immobilienmanagement produced 45,000 kg of CO₂ — together with "atmosfair" we offset this footprint and supported sustainable development through technology transfer.

Our 2024 donation to Amplivo removed 19,231 kg of plastic waste from the world's oceans.

At every location we pursue the goal of a paperless office, source office supplies from sustainable supplier "memo" and rely on electric and hybrid company vehicles. Employees benefit from bike leasing, supplemental health insurance and free continuing education.

"We believe sustainability and economic success go hand in hand — and that leadership in sustainable corporate governance is no contradiction to performance."
