Pecan Development designs spaces for living and working in an urban context. With our interdisciplinary team, we work day in, day out to recognize potential in the urban setting and to transform it responsibly into vibrant environments. This is how we realize sustainable real estate projects of lasting value.
We see ourselves as an impulse generator and co-designer of new urban spaces.With a holistic perspective and innovative concepts, we question classic solutions and follow our vision. In doing so, we set high standards for ourselves and our projects, convincing with creative ideas, professional qualifications, and personal integrity.
From our locations in Frankfurt and Berlin, we bring our expertise to bear in four asset classes: office, residential, urban districts, and hotels. As part of this, we anticipate current developments and always place the needs of future users at the heart of our plans. Our projects are based on quality in execution and cooperation in a spirit of partnership. We stand for openness, honesty, and mutual respect. We are convinced that these values are also the foundation for lasting commercial success.
We are strongly conscious of our special responsibility when developing urban spaces.
The ESG Environmental, Social and Governance criteria thus form the basis for all our decision-making, from conceptualization of our projects right through to operation of the built facilities. We consistently search for pioneering solutions that go well beyond the usual industry standards. In this way, we create sustainable value for all the stakeholders involved.
