Summary
PATRIZIA, a global real assets investment manager, has launched a Berlin residential development program through a newly formed joint venture with Cosimo Investment Group, a Berlin-based developer. The partnership targets a total development volume of up to €500 million, with PATRIZIA committing up to €200 million of equity capital through its Living strategy component. The program will focus on developing an initial pipeline of approximately 2,000 residential units over the coming years, establishing what the firms describe as a long-term partnership structure under which projects will be evaluated and executed individually.
The initiative targets Berlin's residential market, which PATRIZIA identifies as one of Europe's most structurally undersupplied housing markets. According to Antonio Marin-Bataller, head of investment management living at PATRIZIA, the market is driven by sustained urbanization and a persistent shortage of new housing supply. The partnership seeks to deploy capital into value-add residential opportunities positioned in strong micro-locations, aiming to build core-quality portfolios with attractive risk-adjusted return potential. PATRIZIA's approach emphasizes forward-funding of high-quality residential assets in structurally constrained urban markets across Europe.
This Berlin program forms part of PATRIZIA's broader pan-European Living investment platform, which currently manages €17.5 billion in Living assets, establishing PATRIZIA as one of Europe's largest residential investment managers. The strategy reflects the firm's conviction in long-term living transitions reshaping European cities, with a focus on value-add residential opportunities in undersupplied urban centers. Oral Coskun, founder of Cosimo, emphasized that the partnership combines local development expertise with institutional capital and long-term strategic vision, enabling the joint venture to deliver high-quality housing in Berlin's most attractive micro-locations.
