In business for over thirty years
Overlooking the most beautiful real estate in Germany we decided in the early seventies to dedicate ourselves
heart and soul to the play of forces on the real estate market. Since then we have been in business, intercepting flexibly the highs and lows on the market and realising about three hundred real estate projects with
an investment volume of over nine billion euros.
Now as then the Ebertz & Partner corporate group of Cologne ranks among Germany’s top ten initiators of
closed-end real estate funds. In view of its history and accumulated placing volume, it even takes first place.
All funds we initialise we develop ourselves; we organise and implement the financing; we see to the needs
of tenants, lessees, and operators; we take care of the building progress and the modification, extension,
and revitalisation measures; and we know the essential global players on the real estate market. All phases
in the real estate cycle are covered by our competence.
And because Rhinelanders, and especially Cologners, as such are naturally curious and open-minded, we have
been equally at home with our buildings in both Germany and other European countries since the mid-nineties.
In our business, close links to our native soil is just as important as farsightedness. For this reason we have
always kept our eyes on guarantees of success for all our projects:
•
•
•
•
attractive, high-quality real estate at the best locations
intelligent and market-oriented utilisation strategies
solvent tenants / lessees and experienced operators
long-term index leases
Consequently we could safeguard the profitability of our buildings and real estate funds for years (present
portfolio volume ? 5.6 billion) and help our customers to relocate to some of the top addresses in Germany
and Europe. Yet also in crises we are there with adequate solutions and many years of experience and contacts
for stabilising and restructuring the affected real estate transaction.

Project development and supervision
Your wishes included
If you want to be successful as a project developer,
you need a good portion of creativity and close links
to the market. You must know the latest market
status, locate and analyse its future potential, detect
profitable niches, recognise trends in the economy,
society, and politics, research the future, and know
all there is to know about new technical developments – and implement all of this know-how in innovative real estate strategies for long-term profit.
When viewed in this manner, real estate project
development is a kind of universal know-how. And
this is best gained through many years of successful
work on the market with its active players where a
key role is played by good connections to financing
companies and potential investors. Under their
supervision ideas become deeds.
Over thirty years of market experience
The Ebertz & Partner corporate group – and our
thirty plus years of experience on the market can
testify to this – is ideal for this task. Real estate project development and partnership for high-calibre
institutional and private investors was and is an important building block for our success. We offer you
the full service of project development and supervision and the opportunity to enter every phase of
real estate development – from the initial idea to
completion including the purchase of land, building
permits, utilisation strategy, due diligence, financing plans, and portfolio revitalisation concepts: our
know-how and experience will guide you successfully through the whole lifecycle of your real estate
investment. In close collaboration and unshakable
harmony with partners like DIFA Deutsche Immobilien
Fonds AG, WestInvest Gesellschaft für Investmentfonds mbH, H.F.S. HYPO-Fondsbeteiligungen für
Sachwerte GmbH, Bankhaus Delbrück Bethmann
Maffei AG, iii-Investments, and many others we have
developed, supervised, and realised projects to a
value of about two billion euros.
Project development Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam
City Centre, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The heart of Amsterdam’s Oostelijke Handelskade
dockyards – with direct traffic connections to the
passenger terminal for cruise liners and the city’s
new music centre – witnessed the recent birth of the
four-star Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre.
Realised by the Ebertz & Partner corporate group in
close collaboration with the owner, the international
hotel chain Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts AG, and
the investor WestInvest Gesellschaft für Investmentfonds mbH of Düsseldorf, a subsidiary of WestLB AG,
this new building is setting the trend: 408 rooms on
twenty storeys, an unusual format for Amsterdam
placing it among the city’s tallest buildings. The
Ebertz & Partner Group project developers coordinated all activities from the very first hour on:
acquisition of land, building lease with the City
of Amsterdam, selecting members of the competence team, conception and construction of the new
building, selection of the lessee, conclusion of the
lease over twenty years, etc. The Mövenpick Hotel
Amsterdam City Centre with its spectacular view of
Amsterdam Harbour was opened in September 2006.

Hotel with a past –
rebuilt for the future
Even before Reunification the Schweizerhof Hotel
near Berlin Zoo was a top address catering to stars
and starlets, politicians and tycoons. When the
Ebertz & Partner corporate group purchased this
top establishment in 1998, its fame had already
waned a little and many of its features were obsolete. Extensive renovation was due if this 300room hotel was to come up to modern standards.
Dorint AG announced its interest in taking over the
hotel after modernisation. Yet it all turned out differently. A detailed study showed that demolition
and rebuilding was the only economical solution.
However, the idea of initiating a closed-end real
estate fund to finance this mighty project soon
gave way to a definite buying interest by DIFA
Deutsche Immobilien Fonds AG. With close links
to industrial credit cooperatives this company for
open-end real estate funds intended to buy the
hotel provided that a long-term lease with Dorint
AG was submitted.
Expert knowledge and expert people –
a highly promising combination
One ability the Cologners are said to have is a talent
for making contacts. We claim to master this skill.
Our network, extending all through Germany and into
our European neighbours, is as absorbent, stable,
and flexible as a jumping sheet. After all, not only
know-how is wanted, but also know who. Our dedicated, but free competence team includes the best
brains the market has brought forth. Whether auditor, taxation specialist, architect, financial analyst,
law firm, consultant, centre manager, or hotel owner
for local or global campaigns – we take on board who
we think are the best people for each and every project. We can access a competent core of specialised
personnel (real estate professionals, lawyers, bankers, economists) and freelance real estate experts
who have already collaborated in the creation and
realisation of many of our major projects – with a high
level of individuality and consistency.
The Ebertz & Partner corporate group therefore built
in cooperation with DIFA an attractive four-star
residence (with the largest indoor hotel pool in
Berlin) and committed Dorint AG as a long-term
lessee. After the lessor’s official acceptance the
turnkey building was transferred to DIFA in 1999.
Today Dorint Sofitel Schweizerhof reflects young
Berlin, where modernity, subjectivity, and transparency are integrated consistently for modern business
customers and travellers to the city.
