The operation marks the entry of the Slovak developer into Germany, adding to the international activities of the group which is already present in the UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

The Berlin office will be headed by country CEO Marcel Sedlak, who will be joined by newly appointed commercial director Hans-Peter Haehnlein and construction director Andreas Roczek.

CEO Marcel Sedlak said that the company's entry into Germany was 'the logical next step' in the group's expansion after setting up business in the highly competitive London market five years ago.

The new team in Berlin will primarily focus on office users and developing innovative work space solutions, added Sedlak.

'We are continuing to look for additional talent for our growing Berlin team,' he noted.

Country CEO Haehnlein will be responsible for the company's expansion into Germany. Previously, he was managing director at French investment firm Inovalis, where he has been in charge of German activity for the past 10 years. Before that, Haehnlein held numerous management positions at the Commerz Real Group.
