Former managing partner Theja Geyer has sold his stake to pursue new ventures. Rickmers and Geyer jointly established the company in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was reached by mutual agreement. Geyer will support the transition to ensure an orderly handover of projects, client relationships and internal processes.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Rickmers, the management board continues to include Kira Groth, Nils Femmer and Martin G\u00f6rge, ensuring full operational continuity.<\/p>\n<p>Quest Group has maintained strong momentum in 2025, with substantial transaction and development activity. In Hamburg, the properties Haus der Seefahrt and Admiralit\u00e4tsstra\u00dfe were acquired and are now being repositioned. The development projects Tichelhaus (Willy-Brandt-Stra\u00dfe 69, Hamburg) and LEO 7 (Leopoldstra\u00dfe 7, Munich) were successfully completed and sold. The investment strategy remains unchanged, focusing on well-located assets with significant value-creation potential.<\/p>\n<p>Rickmers will transfer all existing family-owned properties into the group, underscoring his long-term commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theja Geyer:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cAfter intense and highly rewarding years, the time is right for me to embark on a new chapter. My priority is a responsible and orderly transition. I would like to thank the entire team, our partners, and especially Erck Rickmers for their trust and collaboration. I wish Quest Group every success for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Erck Rickmers:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI would like to thank Theja Geyer for his drive and his significant contribution to the development of Quest Group. The company is operationally strong, financially sound and strategically well positioned. We will continue to seize market opportunities, manage growth with discipline and develop the group with a long-term, value-led perspective.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>About Quest<\/strong><br \/>\nQuest Group is an integrated real estate company active across development, asset and property management, and investment.
