The landmarks AG is a German project developer and investor who developed some 80 subsidiaries real estate projects and neighborhoods. The current market value volume is around 1.5 billion euros (as of February 2020). In North Rhine-Westphalia , Landmarken AG implements projects with users from the public sector, universities and the private sector, as well as privately financed and publicly funded residential construction.
history
The entry into project development began for Norbert Hermanns and his AMW Projekte GmbH, which was originally founded as an advertising agency, in 1987 with the development of a small office and commercial property in the Aachener Kreuz industrial estate in Würselen . The first showcase project was the Schuman Arkaden, also at the Aachener Kreuz. In order to react appropriately to the subsequent growth, Landmarken AG was founded in 2006, which from then on took over the project development business from AMW Projekt GmbH. At the time, the company, which had started with commercial real estate on the "green field", was already in the middle of the transformation into a developer of inner-city real estate projects.
Field of activity
In addition to the company headquarters in Aachen , Landmarken AG also controls its projects from the branch in Münster and other office locations in Bochum and Monheim . The company's project developments are located in more than 20 cities in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. Office and special real estate, including administrative buildings, research and university real estate, hotel projects, special and listed buildings as well as entire district developments with a mixed use structure are realized for their own account or as a service provider for other investors. In addition, Landmarken AG develops publicly funded and privately financed residential areas, retail properties, mixed-use properties and city center concepts.

Campus engagement / research real estate
Landmarken AG is closely connected to the development of the RWTH Aachen Campus. The Smart Logistics cluster developed by the company on the Melaten campus was the first building on the new RWTH Aachen campus in 2013. The architecture comes from Meyer en van Schoten (Amsterdam). The photonics research cluster followed in 2015, designed by the Anglo-American architects Kohn Pedersen Fox . At the end of 2015, both projects were sold to Patrizia AG , which is seen as evidence that the Aachen campus idea works economically and that research properties can be an attractive, new property class for investors.
Competitive successes
Both campus projects were won in Europe-wide tenders. The following developments by Landmarken AG can be traced back to successful competitions, including supraregional investor selection processes: new buildings for the Federal Employment Agency in Aachen and Mettmann , new administrative building for pronova BKK in Leverkusen (each completed), Neue Höfe Herne , Hansator Münster , hotel on Erzbergerufer in Bonn (both under construction). In July 2019, Landmarken AG was awarded the contract to realize the "Gold Eck" residential area in Düsseldorf as part of an investor selection process. In January 2020, HafenCity Hamburg announced that Landmarken AG had been awarded the contract for construction site 105 in the Elbbrückenquartier. There she will realize the Moringa, Germany's first high-rise residential building that is being developed according to the Cradle to Cradle principle . The city of Dortmund granted the landmarks AG in February 2020 the contract for the development of the Port Forum, an Entrepreneurship and Innovation Campus in Port Dortmund and in June 2020 the contract in a competition for the last remaining building area on the Dortmund U .
