Düsseldorf, February 19, 2026 – The Centralis Real Estate Group looks back on an extremely successful 2025 financial year. The company consistently continued its dynamic growth trajectory and successfully completed five acquisitions of hospitality assets in prime locations in major and secondary German cities, with a total volume of approximately €175 million.
The Centralis portfolio thus comprises five stabilized assets and six ongoing projects, with a total of 734 serviced apartment units.
For 2026, Centralis has also secured an exclusive pipeline of further assets with a total volume of over 175 million euros and over 400 additional units.
All projects will be completed and operational by mid-2028 – a large proportion even earlier. Upon completion, the fully renovated or newly constructed assets are typically leased for 20 years (double net , indexed) and correspond to a core plus profile.
The highly scalable platform is intended to hold the largest portfolio of serviced apartments in Europe in the medium term and will be gradually made accessible to a wider professional investor audience.
“Current growth means we will significantly exceed our ambitious strategic growth target of mid-2025, the date of our partner ActivumSG’s investment. Nevertheless, we intend to continue this growth. Our focus remains on prime locations in major and secondary cities and modern, technology-based operating concepts, as urbanization and digitalization are the key drivers of future-proof portfolios. We see numerous exciting opportunities in the market, and our team is highly motivated to build on last year’s successes,” explains Dr. Fabian Vieregge, Co-CEO and co-founder of Centralis.
Expansion of strategic partnerships – proven implementation strength
In addition to ActivumSG, one of the largest independent real estate investment managers in Europe, becoming the new majority shareholder of Centralis in mid-2025, other strategic partnerships were also further intensified. Following the successful start of construction on the Breite Gasse project in Nuremberg, Centralis is once again relying on apoprojekt as its construction partner for the project on Paul-Heyse-Straße in Munich.
On the operator side, the hospitality specialist also maintains close relationships with market-leading operators. For example, the project on Pionierstraße in Düsseldorf was successfully completed on schedule and handed over to Limehome. Other current Centralis projects have also already been leased to Limehome , BobW , and Stayery . Centralis intends to implement a nationwide rollout in Germany, and in the long term, across Europe, in parallel with and symbiotically with the operators.
Centralis ' focus is on implementing projects with reduced risk by ensuring that leases, fixed prices for turnkey handover by the general contractor and financing are always fixed before the purchase of the respective property.
“To further scale our business and expand our leading market position as a pioneer in the rapidly growing Modern Hospitality / Serviced Apartments segment, we need strong partners. With our network in both the construction and operating industries, we can ensure the highest institutional standards,” commented Lukas von Lüdinghausen , Co-CEO and co-founder of Centralis.
Workforce grows in parallel with the pipeline – Centralis moves into larger offices
To keep pace with its rapidly growing project portfolio and guarantee consistently high quality and speed of implementation, Centralis also strategically expanded its workforce. In particular, Torsten Hönisch joined the team as the new Head of Development (formerly in the same position at Development Partner GmbH), and Dr. Jan van Uden became Director of Strategy & Asset Management (formerly with Boston Consulting Group). As part of this personnel expansion, the company also moved into new office space on Elisabethstrasse in Düsseldorf.
