As a shaping designer, Jens has put together a great team and made a significant contribution to both our asset management and the sustainability focus of our business. I wish him all the best and look back extremely positively on the challenges and successes we have faced together.
Henning Koch
Chairman of the Management Board / CEO of Commerz Real AG
Jens Böhnlein first joined Commerz Real in 2018 as Global Head of Office. His responsibilities included the integration of the Millennium portfolio, which comprised around 352,000 square metres of rental space and 49 properties after its acquisition in 2019. During the coronavirus pandemic, he also managed to ensure the stability and resilience of the property portfolio through close, trusting discussions with tenants.
It should not be underestimated that Jens has made a name for himself as a brand ambassador for Commerz Real across the industry and beyond, thus making a significant contribution to our awareness.
