About us – Deutsche Wohnen
We shape the communities of tomorrow. Deutsche Wohnen is one of the leading listed property companies in Europe and part of the Vonovia Group. We see ourselve as having the social responsibility in maintaining and newly developing urgently needed living space. Our focus is on dynamic metropolitan areas and urban centres, where we make future-oriented and viable residential concepts a reality. We see ourselves as supporters of the development of vibrant neighbourhoods with vital communities.
Our portfolio comprises around 142,600 units, including 140,000 residential units and 2,600 commercial units. The properties stand out due to their high quality and excellent locations: about 95% of them are found in German growth regions forecast to enjoy positive economic development.
Deutsche Wohnen makes sustainable investments in order to meet customer requirements now and in the future. Accordingly, we prioritise continually improving energy efficiency in our properties, carefully developing the quality of our portfolio and creating vibrant neighbourhoods where the pulse of the city or the peace of the suburbs is palpable. We believe we have a duty towards our clients, employees, shareholders, society and the environment.
Over 30,000 of our units are located in listed buildings; four of our Berlin developments are UNESCO World Heritage sites. No other property company in Germany has such a valuable historical portfolio. Architecture and building culture are key to our company philosophy.
Alongside our passion for property, impeccable customer service is a cornerstone of our company culture. We currently have more than 9 million square metres of living space across Germany to offer our customers. Services such as Nursing and Assisted Living for seniors and further community-oriented activities complete our offering.
Quality, efficiency and sustainability are our top priorities. These lasting values are a basis for shaping attractive and more diverse neighbourhoods and the company’s financial success.
‘It doesn’t matter how the spaces look without people. All that matters is how people look in them.’
