RATISBONA Holding

We are a family firm, and as such take a long-term view. We ourselves come from a retailing family, and are thus thoroughly familiar from our own experience with the needs of the retailing sector and the market involved. RATISBONA is a regionally rooted, internationally operating company in the field of retailing properties. It was about 30 years ago that we specialised in the conception, development, implementation and management of food and beverage supermarkets - and have since then developed and refined our acknowledged expertise in this field. In this segment of the market, we rank among Germany's leading and most successful companies. As the founder and former operator of one of Germanys best-known and most successful supermarket chains, we know the needs of our clients and the market from our own long years of experience. On this basis, we have since being founded back in 1987 completed more than 1,100 properties in the German and international retailing sectors. On the basis of this expertise, we also aim in future to complete up to 50 projects a year. Our project development team seeks out and acquires suitable sites for building new properties or revitalising existing ones. At present, new buildings and revitalisation jobs are roughly equal in volume, though there is an observable downtrend when it comes to greenfield development projects. In 2015, we accordingly acquired more existing properties than ever before in our firm's history. We either keep these for a lengthy period, or revitalise them and sell them to investors with new, long-term tenancy agreements. After all agreements have been signed regarding the property to be implemented, we are involved during the entire planning and construction phases, all the way through to turnkey handing-over. For this purpose, we have highly qualified and experienced planning and construction teams in-house. Sales, Property Management, Back Office and the Legal Department are further vital constituents of our company. 100 / 100: currently, our company employs more than 100 staff, and achieves an annual turnover of around 100 million euros.
