Company
We revitalize city centres in tune with the times.
Midstad's heart beats for vibrant city centres. As one of the leading full-service real estate managers, we are building on the future of urban centres. As a project developer and asset and property manager, we are pioneering experts in urban transformation and contribute to furthering this field. We manage almost 700,000 square meters across five countries and more than 47 cities in Germany and Europe. We are currently developing 18 projects in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.
From concepts to building operations. From development to property management. From research-based consulting to project-driven stakeholder management: We create change. We are developing it with our Midstad properties using a valuable ESG strategy, versatility and visibility. We want to engage, inspire and delight people by making buildings – as vertical neighbourhoods – the centre of a lively community.
Midstad in focus: What moves the future of the city centre.
What will tomorrow's urban buildings need to achieve? Why does understanding come before action? How can we design city centres together? Click here to find out more.
360 degree
Midstad – 360-degree thinking for solution-oriented action.
We rely on a 360-degree approach, which enables us to act holistically. Midstad combines all value-adding functions from a single source and maximises the potential of every project.
As a partner to cities, we work on the basis of research, designing new and attractive utilisation concepts for inner-city retail properties. As an experienced project developer, we envision a diverse blend of uses, handle asset and property management and – typical of the Midstad approach – create operator concepts for attractive public facilities in our projects. In addition to our range of services within project development, asset management and property management, our approach offers two complementary service areas: Urban Concept Advisory and Smart Urban Services.
What sets our range of services apart
Integrated 360-degree management ensures a holistic approach and guarantees the best possible quality throughout the entire property cycle. Two areas in particular characterise our approach:
Urban Concept Advisory
Smart Urban Services
To ensure the long-term value stability of a building, we focus on active management and a functional mix of uses within the building that keeps the district lively 24/7. We design operational concepts that cater to diverse needs with a variety of offerings—ranging from coworking spaces, conference areas, sports and dining facilities, to modern residential and accommodation concepts.
Radiant power from the centre – the principle of positive impact
And because every city is different, every Midstad property is unique. All of the buildings will be linked by a mix of uses that is tailored to the need of their relevant users. We believe that a property with as many attractive features as possible can have a positive impact on its immediate surroundings and thus make a significant contribution to the revitalisation of the city centre.
Hello and welcome to our ideal vision of a Midstad home!
And this is what a characteristic, versatile mix of uses in a Midstad property could look like – reflecting the needs of city centre users. From retail and office use to coworking spaces, accessible roof areas, conference areas, multifunctional halls for sports and events, restaurant and modern residential and accommodation concepts, we realise a wide range of options for the most diverse usage requirements. Thanks to an interconnected management system and the digital networking of all services, the different uses in the building can feed off each other and create a Midstad experience for visitors.
Team
We rely on people and our foundation is our strong team.
The Midstad team at the regional offices in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf have many years of experience in the property sectors—as doers and visionaries, as project developers, real estate experts and asset managers. Working together, we develop inner-city spaces with an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong network and responsibility for real values.
