"Anyone who comes here should feel comfortable; you can sense that."

In order to be as close as possible to our customers and to understand their needs even better, we have created a new key role at Landmarken: As Head of Customer Relations, Petra Pfeffer has been bringing us even closer to the people for whom we develop our projects since September 2025.

At Landmarken, we ensure that buildings become smart – both new and existing ones. To ensure smart building services in our project developments, our team of smart building experts has developed "SOPHIA" – a smart building concept that focuses on users and benefits.

Remaining true to itself while constantly reinventing itself—Landmarken AG has been following this path with great success for almost 40 years now. We spoke with the two members of the Executive Board, Anke Tsitouras and Jens Kreiterling, about how this is achieved and what goals the company will focus on in the future.

An important step toward new living space: This fall, the public disclosure for our development of the Singer site can take place. This was decided by the urban development committee in Würselen before the summer break.

The Dortmund Health Center is an architectural icon of the 1950s. The successful revitalization of the complex after six decades of official use has already received several awards.

Rethinking urban living—ecological, communal, circular: Leonie Heuschäfer has been committed to this since she entered the real estate industry in 2009 after completing her studies. As Head of Expansion at POHA House, she is looking for new locations for our sister company, which pursues precisely this goal.

We meet at the market square—right on time—for a coffee with Claudia Mainz. "I am a service provider at heart," says the business administration graduate and trained hotel manager. Claudia Mainz is the event and community manager at our new office campus. She spent years working in guest relations and quality management at the Parkhotel Quellenhof in Aachen—the top hotel in town, as they say in Aachen.

The Dortmund Health Center is an architectural icon of the 1950s. The successful revitalization of the complex after six decades of official use has already received several awards.

27 halls with a total area of 60,000 square meters, available for immediate occupancy: this is C-WERK in Aachen, offering flexible rental options for entire halls or partial areas starting at 300 square meters.

To visit Felix Wimmer's favorite spot on the C-WERK site, you need to have a head for heights. On the roof of Building 16, an old red brick building, stands the scaffolding of a Continental advertising sign that once towered high above the tire manufacturer's former Aachen plant.

The foundation stone has been laid: Together with main tenant Ericsson and Mayor Sibylle Keupen, we celebrated the milestone for our sustainable new office building on Prager Ring in Aachen in April. Completion is scheduled for 2026, when Ericsson Eurolab will move in with around 500 employees.

Developing portfolios is not an option, but rather an obligation for every project developer to contribute to ecological and social sustainability.

Plastic bottles, toys, electronic waste: every year, millions of tons of trash end up in the ocean worldwide. Our partner everwave has taken up the fight against this threatening flood—with remarkable success.

A new campus that is fun and fosters identity, an expanded business model, a clear focus on values, and good intentions for the new year: we spoke with Anke Tsitouras and Jens Kreiterling about these topics. The Landmarken executives also reveal what's on their shopping list for 2025.

Since April 2023, we have been a Landmark "HoffnungsBAUer" (builder of hope) and thus part of the Habitat for Humanity initiative, which brings together companies from the construction and real estate industries to help people in need. The vision: everyone should have a safe, sustainable, and affordable home.

"I don't understand how anyone can fail to act sustainably!" It's statements like this that you hear relatively quickly when you first talk to Mira M. Hische about sustainability. Of course, she is a sustainability manager, but the issues of ecological and social responsibility that she has been promoting at Landmarken since July 1 are not only of interest to her in a professional context—they are close to her heart!

Visiting Hilmi Kurtoglu's construction site in Kaarst: First, we are greeted with a wet nose from Frida the dog, then we can get started.

The new data center for the financial administration (RZF) of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is being built in Kaarst near Düsseldorf, a building complex with an area of around 37,000 square meters. We asked photographer Jo Fober to capture the shell of the building in pictures.

25 years of milestones: No one except our founder Norbert Hermanns can look back on as many years with the company as CFO Ralf H. Lohse, who is celebrating his anniversary this year in 2024. A conversation about growth, stability, and a "white knight."

Distinguished visitor at our O-WERK | Campus in Bochum: In August, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited to learn about the successful transformation of the former Opel factory site, now known as MARK 51°7. At the invitation of the Regionalverband Ruhr, the Chancellor visited companies and research institutions, including the Maker Space of the Ruhr University Bochum at O-WERK. Olaf Scholz praised the development of the site as a holistic concept for how economic, ecological, and social change can be successfully achieved.
