DAHLER Invest, a company operating nationwide in the sector of investment property brokerage for private and (semi-)professional investors, is strengthening its activities in Southern Germany. The establishment of a location in Ulm serves to expand its offering in an economically dynamic region.
Ulm and Neu-Ulm, designed as a twin city, are experiencing continuous inward migration. The region is characterised by historical architecture, a high recreational and leisure value, and a broad economic structure. This constellation contributes to sustainable economic development.
Economic Conditions and Market Potential
The economic base of the Ulm region is diversified. Leading companies from the pharmaceutical industry, vehicle manufacturing, metal processing, and electrical engineering shape the environment. In addition, an innovative mittelstand (SMEs) and a versatile research landscape contribute significantly to stability and growth. The entire growth area comprises approximately 500,000 inhabitants and extends across the federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
Erhard Sepp, who has been working for DAHLER in Ulm and Neu-Ulm since 2020, highlights that the region combines the advantages of both federal states, which is considered unique in Germany. Mr Sepp's team, which previously focused on high-quality residential and commercial buildings, will now increasingly focus on investment properties. Mr Sepp stated that Ulm and Neu-Ulm still have a favourable price level compared to other major Southern German cities and generate attractive returns due to rental growth. The city experiences a significant annual influx of people that surpasses outward migration.
On the supply side, the market for investment properties in Ulm is limited. Historically, many properties remain in family ownership for generations. Good networking in the city and its surrounding area facilitates access to these properties, as there are always local interested parties for properties coming onto the market. DAHLER Invest values direct access to this market, which is considered highly attractive for private investors.

Vincent Papke, Managing Partner of DAHLER Invest, expresses a positive view of the new location. He sees Ulm as an excellent location for expanding and diversifying portfolios. Papke is convinced that clients will recognise and utilise the market opportunities available in Ulm.
