  "account": "German real estate developer Pandion has filed for insolvency in self-administration, along with several subsidiary companies, citing liquidity issues. Pandion, which has developed large projects in numerous cities, including the iconic Cologne Kranhäuser, had secured €340 million in new financing earlier this year, but it was project-bound and not available at the holding level. The insolvency comes as the German real estate market continues to struggle with rising interest rates and a crisis that has already led to the insolvency of large companies like the Signa Group. Experts warn that the industry may face a prolonged crisis, with refinancing needs peaking in 2026 at over €40 billion, and a refinancing gap of around €6.3 billion this year.",
  "summary": "After the insolvencies of the project developers Pandion and Peters Development, there is unrest in the real estate market. Will it now hit even more developers? Experts warn of caution.",
