Services

Two service lines for Northern German real estate projects.

Direct acquisitions for our own portfolio, or capital provision for established sponsors. Both paths draw on the same family capital, the same decision-making processes, and the same regional grounding.

Service 01 · Direct acquisitions

Existing assets and developments for our own portfolio.

We acquire residential, mixed-use and select commercial properties between Hamburg and the East Frisian coast – as holders, not traders.

Typical acquisition volume ranges from 5 to 25 million euros of investment value per property. We buy from our own equity, without external LP structures, and decide on LOIs within a matter of business days. Existing assets with cash-flow stability, repositioning potential or densification options form the core of our mandate.

Service 02 · Capital provision

Equity and debt for sponsor-led projects.

For established developers, portfolio holders and sponsors we provide flexible capital tranches – as JV equity, preferred equity or whole-loan debt.

Always sponsor-friendly, without claiming control over day-to-day operations. We operate where institutional senior lenders pause and traditional equity providers arrive too late. Tickets from 1 – 8 million euros per project, with short paths to investment decisions and a family balance sheet in the background.

Densification

Vertical extensions, loft conversions and infill construction on existing plots — additional living space without consuming new land.

ESG & Energy

Energy-efficient retrofits, heat-pump integration and EH-55/40 pathways — for lower operating costs and greater resilience.

Repositioning

Change of use concepts, tenant-profile upgrades and structural modernisation — unlocking hidden reserves and revitalising locations.

Portfolio optimisation

Vacancy reduction, rent adjustment and technical refurbishment — operational excellence across the active portfolio.

Background

UPEC is a family-backed real estate investor based in Northern Germany. We invest exclusively with equity — no fund structure, no external investors, no quarterly pressure.

Financing

Our capital base is long-term committed family wealth. Debt is deployed on a project-by-project basis, conservatively structured and serviced through internal cash flows.

Execution

From LOI to closing, we manage every transaction in-house — due diligence, structuring, financing and asset onboarding under one roof, with short decision paths.
