The development of continuously lucrative real estate by a combination of the factors: location – project ideas – capital – timing

Quest has the access to the market, the resources and the expertise to develop real estate to the next level or from scratch. In the selection of the locations, Quest is focussing in the field of office premises on urban ares (City and district locations) in Hamburg and Berlin as well on good central locations (prime locations) of German urban centers in the area of retail developments. Due to longterm connections and the good relationship with the tenants, new project ideas evolve even before the acquisition of real property.

Investment strategy
The aim is the creation of core real estate. Investments are only made in very good locations. There, the quality of the object is constantly improved.

The creation of values through:

• Development of projects
• Refurbishment and repositioning
• Improvement of the rental and revenue situation

Erck Rickmers is a Hamburg-based entrepreneur who has successfully built several companies and is today primarily active in real estate, renewable energy, and various other investments.

Quest Development operates the project development business and has currently invested over 1.6 billion euros in almost 30 projects with an area of over 217,000 m². The company favours properties with a special ambience and unique selling proposition. The company covers all areas from property acquisition, due diligence and financing to planning, obtaining building rights and technical management through to marketing for letting and sales.

As a team, 40 experienced employees develop and manage high-quality property projects. The project development division also plans major properties in the form of joint ventures together with well-known institutional investors. The aim is to increase the value of property with individual and innovative ideas and to play an active role in shaping modern urban planning.

With this company, we operate asset management for properties in order to serve the entire value chain. In addition to property management, including reporting, we deal with tenant and letting management as well as construction and technical property management. We work for the companies of the Quest Group as well as for domestic and foreign investors with a focus on professional pension schemes, family offices, foundations and medium-sized property owners.
