Micro-living Urban living reimagined:

In today’s dynamic urban landscape, micro-living is an innovative response to the increasing demand for high-quality housing. The focus here is above all on a smart, functional and sustainable space and living concept that harmoniously combines comfort and modern amenities. 

In particular, the increasing number of students in Germany and the lack of publicly funded residential spaces have raised the question of alternative housing solutions. A promising answer to this question was found with micro-living. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the micro-living segment demonstrated great robustness and resilience thanks to a rapid recovery in capacity utilisation rates and continued interest. As a result, the segment has proven to be a flexible and sustainable solution in times of crisis, which has also sustainably strengthened its attractiveness for institutional investors. 

Commerz Real identified the changing needs in the housing market at an early stage – and therefore made it its mission to promote innovative housing concepts while creating sustainable values and thus making an active contribution to the design of modern living environments. 

With institutional investment funds such as the Institutional Smart Living Fund, Commerz Real is actively involved in creating tailor-made housing for students, young professionals and commuters in growing university and college cities. And that not only in Germany, but also internationally, for example with the successful “Pallars” student housing project in Barcelona.  

In addition to its focus on locations with strong growth, high-quality properties and cooperation with experienced business partners, Commerz Real relies on many years of market knowledge and a strategic vision – thus creating a solid foundation for successful asset management in the micro-living segment.
