Dear Trockland Partners,
Friends, and Family,

In these turbulent global times, it’s more important than ever to focus our energies on the positive impact we can make as a company, a community and individuals. As always, this newsletter shares our activities and progress toward achieving our goals.

Germany’s real estate market is showing signs of recovery after a challenging period.

Transaction Volume Growth: In 2024, Germany’s real estate investment market recorded a transaction volume of €34.3 billion, a 21% increase from the previous year. The first quarter of 2025 continued this positive trend with a 17% year-on-year rise to €7.4 billion.

The mood among businesses in Germany has improved. The ifo Business Climate Index (a leading economic indicator for Germany, widely used to gauge the health and direction of the country's economy) rose to 88.4 points in June, up from 87.5 points in May. The new government conveys the impression that positive impulses for economic revitalization are being set. This fosters confidence among market participants. The focus on investment measures is to be viewed positively for the real estate sector. Additionally, 61 companies have launched the “Made for Germany” initiative to boost Germany’s future as a global economic powerhouse with €631 billion in pledged investments for Germany by 2028.

We also like to share that our Trockland team spirit remains strong. In addition to our professional work, we continue to support our sports teams, who successfully completed a running and rowing event this summer. Also, our Senior Advisor, Günter Polauke, successfully completed a solo peace hike along the former FRG-GDR border — known as the “Green Belt” — with the support from our team. All these activities foster meaningful interactions and connections within and beyond our company.

 

Wishing you a joyful September and Shanah Tovah U'Metukah.

Heskel | Phytos | Dan
