Sector7-Forces

1

Our potentials are bundled in three fields of strength: Capital. Creativity. Content. Sector7’s capital is based on the power of an interdisciplinary top team: Capital strength and an attractive portfolio.

2

Creativity charges our business with disruptive working methods and unique knowledge of strategies in real estate Brands and Design.

3

The content cluster is based on our close network of users and operators, who create a sustainable competitive advantage for Sector7. Only an optimal overlapping of these forces enables a Sector7 – a better place for all.

Value-Creation-Models

Sector7 applies global megatrends with regard to local unfoldings to the potential of its real estate projects and develops creative product and utilization concepts.

Needs of future users, entrepreneurs and realizers are incorporated into every project right from the beginning of the process. This results in exceptional and  clearly positioned offerings that are divided into three distinct  business units depending on the depth of their value creation.

Development Design, Upcycling, Upgrading

Real Estate Energizer – bundled in three Value-Creation-Models

ALL PROJECTS

Development Design

In the early phases of project development, know-how, creativity and networks create the biggest lever for value creation. Sector7 only acquires land with extraordinary future potential, organizes building rights and develops product and architectural concepts. Potential tenants and investors of the real estate projects are elicited and engaged in the early phase. In the realisation phase, Sector7 offers development partners with a strong construction track record an attractive and compelling investment. Equity partners have the opportunity to participate in the above-average value creation potential as early as the purchase of the properties.

View projects

Upcycling

Due to the continuous changing urban landscape, many locations increase in attractiveness and thus in potential for more economically valuable uses. Sector7 identifies existing properties capable of unleashing extraordinary potentials and transforms them with intelligent concepts to new significance, desirability and improved profitability. Users are integrated into the development at an early stage and retained as tenants. Upcycling projects provide equity partners an investment with attractive cash flow and great prospects for value appreciation. For construction development partners and real estate investors, an attractive yield with further potential is offered.

View Projects

Upgrading

Real estate is rarely developed or managed in line with trends or user needs. However, attractive added value can often be achieved without large investments through the application of innovative service, community, and/or design concepts - which together enable higher user satisfaction and income. Sector7 acquires new and existing properties with such development potential and thus creates real estate investments with above-average profitability.

Office-based reality is changing fast. Sector7 understands dynamic companies, new ways of working and the opportunities offered by digitalisation. That knowledge transforms existing projects into future-orientated and high-performance products for the working environment of the tomorrow.

New locations can benefit from the densification of city centre areas. Sector7 uses the energy of the megatrend towards urban shift to identify places with extraordinary potential. New use concepts and leitmotifs create new identity and generate values, from which many stand to benefit.

The megatrend in terms of demography lies in inspirational living concepts for people in the second half of their lives. Technologies, services and individual solutions for the growing market make it possible both to live well in old age and to generate attractive returns.

WELL
Zehdenick, Havel

The growing town of Zehdenick on the River Havel in the Oberhavel district has undergone remarkable development over the last few years, due to its proximity to the capital and its emerging tourist sector. Located next to a stream with a large green open space, the Well in the heart of the town centre offers exceptional development opportunities: the property is an industrial monument offering space for contemporary residential concepts and commercial uses and is likely to become a focal point for future developments in Zehdenick.

BOB Teltow

The construction and craft sector is going through a period of fundamental change. The challenges presented by the new working environments must be confronted quickly and efficiently. Right in the middle of Teltow’s Techno Terrain, the largest inner urban commercial park in the state of Brandenburg and located close to the southern boundary with the city of Berlin, BOB Teltow is a new value-added campus for production and crafts. Sector7 is creating future-proofed outline conditions to suit the requirements of craft and building materials companies with modular, occupier-orientated rental units and a unique blend of infrastructure. Instead of mere co-existence, Sector7 is creating a collaborative and synergetic use concept which will be of optimal benefit to all types of occupiers.
