Real Estate Workout Management

Distressed or underperforming real estate portfolios require swift, decisive action. Our workout management team supports owners, investors, and lenders in the targeted restructuring and value stabilization of existing properties—from the initial analysis through to the sustainable securing of returns.

By “workout management,” we mean the structured handling of special situations: vacancy crises, rent defaults, over-leveraged properties, impending foreclosures, and post-acquisition integration of distressed assets.

  • Portfolio Analysis & Risk Assessment of Distressed Properties
  • Development and Implementation of Restructuring Plans
  • Negotiating with creditors, banks, and investors
  • Vacancy Management and Re-leasing Strategies
  • Asset Disposition and a Controlled Sales Process
  • Support in Cases of Receivership and Insolvency Scenarios
  • Investor Reporting and Transparent Stakeholder Communication

Commercial Real Estate

Office and administrative properties, retail spaces, logistics and industrial real estate, as well as mixed-use portfolios with complex lease structures—our workout managers understand the unique challenges of commercial assets and develop tailored stabilization strategies for each market segment.

Residential Real Estate

Apartment buildings, residential complexes, and existing residential property portfolios with significant renovation needs, structural vacancies, or challenging financing situations—we support owners and investors through every step, from crisis management to market repositioning.

Our Approach

Every workout mandate begins with a detailed analysis of the current situation: the property’s condition, leasing situation, financing structure, and market environment are systematically assessed. Based on this, we develop a prioritized action plan with clear milestone targets—transparently and in close coordination with all stakeholders.

Upon request, our experienced workout managers will handle the operational implementation and ensure that measures are not only planned but also fully carried out.

Track Record: Successful restructuring of portfolios with a total value of over €500 million—discreet, solution-oriented, and with proven results.
