«One entry is enough – the postal address»: an interview with Frederic Königsegg

Market, permit procedures and platform – our CEO Real Estate in conversation with the «Real Estate Report».

«Every month of delay and every additional expert report ultimately makes the home more expensive for the family that does not have one yet.» This is how Frederic Königsegg, CEO Real Estate of PORT, sums up what concerns him most at the moment. The interview appeared in issue 73 of the «Real Estate Report», the e-magazine for investment and real estate professionals by Real Estate Move.

A stabilised market, new benchmarks

On the state of the market, Königsegg says: the situation has stabilised and uncertainty has decreased. The almost risk-free value gains of the zero-interest phase are, however, unlikely to return for the time being – property quality, location, rental growth and active asset management will be decisive. He sees the greatest uncertainties in construction costs and in financing.

Building within the rules – and in dialogue

PORT builds exclusively housing for private buyers, within the applicable building regulations, without exceptions or special zones – on plots that are too small for large developers. Königsegg responds to the noticeably longer procedures with early dialogue: talking to the municipality and the neighbourhood, and understanding objections as a dialogue, not as a fight.

A postal address is enough

On the platform: a postal address is enough, and the analysis shows what potential is possible on a plot under building law – together with the building regulations, cadastral plans and zone assignment. Owners can thus decide in a more targeted way whether and with whom they take the next step. And anyone who assesses plots several times a week for work gets the most important information in a few clicks.
