  "account": "CBRE Deutschland's Chief Executive, Kai Mende, highlights the growing activity in the commercial real estate transaction market. The company, which is the largest provider of commercial property services and investments globally, employs over 150,000 people in 100 countries. Mende took over the German operations in 2024, having previously spent nearly two decades at competitor Jones Lang Laissance (JLL). According to Mende, the greatest untapped potential in the real estate sector lies in active asset management, which involves strategically investing in properties that are renovated or revitalized to increase their value. However, many properties have remained unsold since the interest rate turnaround as seller and buyer expectations have diverged significantly. Recent movement in the transaction market can be attributed to the interest rate reversal of 2022, which clearly demonstrated how quickly market mechanisms can change. Before this shift, the real estate market was in a super-cycle that seemed unstoppable, even after the pandemic. Despite this, capital was almost free of charge according to economic theory for years. Since interest rates have increased, the market has begun to normalize. Mende is particularly excited about the transformation of Alexanderplatz in Berlin, which has the potential to create a modern center with a skyline comparable to Frankfurt.",
