As I am a fundamentally optimistic person, I am pretty positive about this year. In challenging<br />
times, it’s essential to think in a more complex manner and in new directions to take advantage<br />
of the opportunities these times can bring. Identifying the investor’s favorite for this year is still<br />
difficult for me from the current perspective, as the interest rate situation and inflationary events<br />
will still have a lasting impact on this topic.<br />

In addition to identifying the opportunities<br />
to emerge from the crisis stronger,<br />
ESG in real estate is undoubtedly one of<br />
the main topics in <strong>2023</strong>. Of course, this is<br />
in addition to our main goal of providing<br />
the best possible support to our customers<br />
in their search for the perfect office<br />
and retail space. This is the most essential<br />
task for this year in the current market<br />
environment, where we are faced<br />
with very low production of new space.<br />

In commercial leasing, times have<br />
been turbulent for a bit longer since the<br />
COVID-19 pandemic. We have used the time<br />
intensively to position ourselves in the best<br />
possible way in all areas. In the challenging<br />
economic environment, we are even closer<br />
to our customers in order to accompany<br />
them in all matters and to jointly develop<br />
innovative and target-oriented solutions.<br />

For me, the topics of<br />
sustainability, the further<br />
development of inflation,<br />
especially concerning energy<br />
and construction costs, and<br />
quality - whether in services<br />
or the development of real<br />
estate - are the cornerstones<br />
that will accompany us very<br />
intensively this year.<br />

In difficult times, it is all the more important to thank our<br />
employees for their tireless efforts to date and to bind<br />
them even more strongly to the company so that together<br />
we can emerge from this challenging, temporary phase<br />
motivated and strengthened. In addition, it is of course<br />
our essential ambition to maintain our outstanding<br />
performance in the area of commercial leasing, which<br />
we have been able to achieve thanks to our long-standing<br />
and loyal customers and to expand this even further by<br />
going the extra mile with our employees.<br />
