Property Management Strategy

The core element of the property management strategy is the sophisticated, scalable management platform, which benefits primarily from its customer-oriented local business units, the Group-wide bundling of services in shared service centers, the appropriate automated systems, and cost-efficient operations. The aim of continuous improvements to the management platform is to improve the quality and efficiency of customer service. Mastering the complexity of Vonovia’s large nationwide real estate portfolio is the top priority within this context. The cost per unit (cpu) is our benchmark. We use our management platform to manage the maintenance and modernization process, as well as procurement. As part of the further development of the platform and its processes, we keep a constant eye on digitization developments to generate further optimization potential for our platform and our customer service. The Austrian and Swedish portfolios are managed by their own respective country-specific organizations. Both organizations aim to rival the standards set by the successful management platform that has already been established in Germany.
