Tempelhof-Schöneberg as an investment location for real estate

Central location, diverse neighborhoods and stable demand

Tempelhof-Schöneberg combines inner-city appeal with a high quality of living and quality of life: from urban old building cores in Schöneberg and Friedenau to family-friendly locations in Tempelhof, Mariendorf, Marienfelde and Lichtenrade to creative hotspots around Nollendorfplatz, a broad, affluent tenant base with very good re-letting potential is emerging. The district benefits from excellent public transport and road connections (S-Bahn and U-Bahn junctions, city highway) as well as the Südkreuz ICE train station, which bundles commuter flows, enhances micro-locations and strengthens the location resilience for residential and mixed-use properties.

Micro-location advantages: Proximity to the city, neighborhood quality and development axes

Schöneberg scores points with its sought-after old building locations around Viktoria-Luise-Platz, Barbarossa/Akazienkiez and Regenbogenkiez, which combine urban density, gastronomy and culture with high visibility. Tempelhof, with its residential structures, parks and Tempelhofer Feld, offers an attractive environment for families and properties with predictable cash flows, while Friedenau impresses with its classic Wilhelminian charm and short distances. Southern districts such as Lichtenrade, Marienfelde and Mariendorf offer moderate entry prices, solid lettability and potential along well-connected axes - ideal for buy-and-hold, partial modernization and strategic portfolio additions.

Strategies from core to value-add with an ESG focus

Core investments benefit in established neighbourhoods with a high willingness to pay, low fluctuation and strong local supply, while value-add in partially modernized portfolios offers above-average yield leverage through energy-efficient refurbishment, floor plan optimization, loft conversions and repositioning of ground floor space. ESG upgrades such as efficient heating, insulation, window replacement, PV and green roofs improve energy parameters, reduce operating costs and strengthen exit prospects - particularly in older building districts and along growing mobility corridors. The result is a balanced risk/reward profile with solid cash flows, good indexation prospects and sustainable value growth in a diverse core district of Berlin.
