Real I.S. has reallocated the roles within its German asset management division.
Christopher Sodl will lead the asset management office team.
Real I.S. currently manages office real estate worth around €7.2 billion.
In future, Maximilian Ludwig’s team will be responsible for residential properties, besides retail, hotel und logistics real estate. Two recognised experts, Markus König (Residential) and Katja Meqdam (Senior Living) have also been recruited for the team.
“Our asset management division has grown steadily in recent years, especially in our target market of Germany. This has been accompanied by a rise in staff numbers, making the individual teams increasingly large. The purpose of our restructuring is to take even greater advantage of our synergies and competencies – as well as rewarding the commitment of Maximilian Ludwig and Christopher Sodl,” comments Dr. Pamela Hoerr, Member of the Management Board of Real I.S. AG.
Christopher Sodl joined Real I.S. AG as Director Asset Management in October 2018. He first held various positions at Redevco in Austria and Switzerland before becoming a property development advisor at Flughafen München GmbH.

Before he left this company, he was in charge of residential real estate as director of asset management. At Real I.S., he will hold the same post in the team of Maximilian Ludwig.
