Experience
We bring your property projects to life...
as a service developer, project manager or even as a co-investor in a joint venture.
Garbe Urban Real Estate develops, plans and builds on your behalf, whether you are an institutional investor, a foundation or a family office. For 60 years, the Garbe name has been synonymous with sophisticated properties – from flats and office/commercial buildings through to entire neighbourhoods in all urban asset classes.
Ambitious real estates for 60 years
Working with passion and guided by the needs of our clients, we deliver trailblazing solutions to the question of how people want to live and work. In this regard, we are committed to superb architectural quality with high sustainability standards.
From our vision and mission through to the corporate culture, we do not consider sustainability a trend, but rather an ethos and the cornerstone of our spirit of partnership.
As an experienced developer, we always keep track of the overall cost–benefit ratio of your projects, generating long-term added value on the basis of sound planning and sustainable concepts.
Thanks to our extensive industry expertise, you can rest assured that your project will be positioned optimally on the market.

Our Mission: We make your properties sustainably profitable
Sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
We see ourselves as a driving force for resource-saving, climate-friendly and sustainable construction and create long-lasting buildings from renewable, high-quality raw materials, thus safeguarding sustainable returns.
Our current flagship project – Roots – is a pioneering, nineteen-storey wooden-hybrid skyscraper that extends approx. 65 metres into the sky above Hamburg’s HafenCity district.
The valuable experience and insights that we gain and gather in key projects such as Roots are incorporated into our manage-to-green strategy.





Your 360° platform for residential development
We review and identify potential sites and existing properties, and take care of the entire journey to acquisition.
We manage all aspects of planning permission procedures and involve all key stakeholders, from neighbours to official agencies.
Our technical and commercial Project Management team coordinates all project actors, from internal/external planning offices and regulatory bodies through to contractors.
Our Tendering and Contracting department drafts states and scopes of work for the services required for our projects and requests quotes from firms on the market. Once quotes have been received and reviewed, and contracts negotiated, the services of contractors are engaged; depending on its structure, the project may be handled by a general contractor or split into service packages/individual services.
Our Construction Managers serve as central points of contact for all contractors involved in our projects and are responsible for compliance with quality standards while keeping the project on time and on budget.
We create residential space and sell it through our in-house Sales team. Our Sales Agents are in close contact with our clients from day one – and right the way to handover.
Our interior designers compile individually selectable equipment variants for the purchasers in line with the respective project. In this way, our customers receive a digital and, in particular, descriptive sampling.
In our commercial projects, we handle the marketing, selling and letting of the property and provide our tenants with bespoke fit-out support all the way to the handover date.
With our expert team, we attest compliance with the agreed quality standard to the buyer, even after the property/rental space has been handed over. If you have any questions, we are also on hand to assist you during the warranty period.
