Stepping up to the challengeof shaping our cities
With our project developments, we want to contribute to making urban spaces – as spaces for people to communicate and interact – more livable, healthier and safer.
This also means laying the foundations for the intelligent mobility of the future. And anticipating the effects of climate change now, to meet this challenge head-on with innovative measures.

Working together in a spirit of partnership with users and investors, the public sector, neighbors and the general public.
Henning Dumrese is CEO, has been active in the real estate industry for more than 20 years, and has successfully managed project development companies with significant project volumes as Managing Director.
He was previously an associate partner at Lang & Cie. Rhein-Ruhr Real Estate AG. For his office development in Düsseldorf, compliance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation was already certified in 2021.
From 2012 to 2019, he was Managing Director Projects at Development Partner AG, where he initiated, designed, managed and marketed numerous project developments to well-known companies or entities such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Reserved LLP, the Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben (BImA) or the City of Cologne.
The Core/Core Plus products were sold to internationally operating investors such as UBS or AEW Invest by means of structured processes. In addition to office and high-street retail properties, he was also responsible for developing special residential assets, like micro-apartments.
Further roles of the real estate economist (ebs) and architect (AKNW) were at AIG/ Lincoln Germany, where BMW AG signed up for logistics lease space, as well as from 2000 to 2005 at the Aachener Group, with an exclusive focus on residential real estate. Finally, as a project manager, he previously planned several major projects, with more than 125,000 square meters of gross floor space at renowned architectural firms.
