ZIA Central Real Estate Committee
The Central Real Estate Committee (ZIA, spelling in misspellings ZIA Central Real Estate Committee e.V. ) is a large trade association for the German real estate industry based in Berlin .
history
The lobby organization was founded in 2006 in Berlin by the real estate manager and today's Honorary President Eckart John von Freyend . At that time, 14 companies were among the founding members. The ZIA was founded because at that time there was hardly any representation of interests for capital market-oriented real estate companies. Commercial real estate companies in particular were not adequately represented. One year after it was founded, the Federation of German Industries (BDI) joined and has had a European office in Brussels since September 2007 .
Since the general meeting on June 17, 2009, ECE project management managing director Andreas Mattner has been President of the ZIA; he was re-elected for three years on May 23, 2012, June 11, 2015 and June 13, 2018. As of 2019, the management of the ZIA will consist of Sun Jensch, who previously worked at IVD , Klaus-Peter Hesse as management spokesman and Gero Gosslar. In October 2019, the ZIA announced that the Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, Oliver Wittke, would be appointed General Manager of the ZIA. As a member of the federal government, the former mayor of Gelsenkirchen and state building minister from North Rhine-Westphalia has to wait for the decision of a commission of the federal cabinet to start his service.
On January 1, 2018, the Federal Association of Tangible Assets and Investment Funds was integrated into the ZIA.
Members
The ZIA represents more than 200 direct members and 28 associations with a total of 37,000 members.
The list of members includes residential and commercial real estate companies , real estate fund companies , banking and insurance subsidiaries , real estate and property managers and other real estate service and consulting companies. The list also includes member associations such as the Association of German Architects , Women in the Real Estate Industry , the Society for Real Estate Research , the Real Estate Association IVD , Association of Closed Funds , Main Association of the German Construction Industry and the CoreNet Global Central Europe Chapter. The ZIA is a member of the Federal Association of German Industry and the Federal Real Estate Industry Working Group , which was founded in 2012. In addition to the ZIA, the associations that were previously members of the federal association of central associations of the real estate industry are organized in the BID . The BSI was dissolved.
activities
Trade fairs and congresses
The ZIA has been organizing the “Real Estate Industry Day” (TdI) every year since 2008. With over 2000 participants, the TdI is an important industry event for the real estate industry.
The ZIA has been the only German real estate association to be represented at the largest European real estate fair, MIPIM. Together with German cities, the interest group organizes presentations for German locations, e.g. B. at the Berlin brunch.
Initiatives and partnerships
The ZIA is a co-initiator of the “City and Green” charter, other initiators were the Federal Association of Gardening, Landscaping and Sports Field Construction eV and the Foundation The Green City .
In addition, he is a founding member of the Federal Government's permanent project group on the “construction of large-scale projects” and has drawn up ten demands from the German real estate industry for improvements in the construction of such projects. The group was initially set up by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development , to which the President of the ZIA, Andreas Mattner, was appointed by the then Minister Peter Ramsauer . The reform commission is to get to the bottom of the sometimes considerable cost and deadline overruns in the construction of large public projects.
At the end of 2014, the association started an innovation initiative. With the appointment of an innovation officer, innovation reports and analyzes, ZIA wants to network the various market players more closely and support system innovations such as the “Alliance of Real Estate Industry and Long-Term Care Insurance” initiated by the ZIA and advance them through research, science and training.
In June 2015, the ZIA, together with the Main Association of the German Construction Industry, introduced the “Guidelines for Fair Business” for partnership-based cooperation in the construction and real estate world. The guidelines define standards for precise project description, performance expectations and rules for integration in individual project phases and risk scenarios. You should avoid legal disputes between clients and contractors. The presidents of the ZIA recommended that their member companies apply the guidelines in the preparatory phase and in the subsequent construction phase. Since January 1, 2016, the Main Association of the German Construction Industry and the ZIA have been offering the "Joint Contact Point for Dispute Resolution".
The ZIA is a founding member of the “Alliance for Affordable Housing and Building” at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety. The alliance brings together the federal government, states, municipalities, the housing and construction industry, the German Tenants' Association, trade unions and other socially relevant actors in order to master the challenges on the housing market. The aim is to jointly improve the conditions for the construction and modernization of living space of good quality, preferably in the affordable market segment, and to expand the housing supply in metropolitan areas with a housing shortage.
Since May 2016, the ZIA has been working with an “Energy Task Force” to resolve issues relating to climate protection policy. Federal Building Minister Hendricks had asked the association to submit proposals. The task force includes specialized companies of the association and energy experts.
In June 2017, ZIA and the software company SAP entered into a partnership to further digitize the industry. A digitization committee will be set up as part of the partnership.
In June 2018, the ZIA and local authority representatives founded a local council. It is made up of local politicians, representatives of the real estate industry and urban developers and is primarily intended to work out proposals on how the federal government's goal of building more apartments, leaner processes and faster decisions with more efficiency in planning and construction can be determined. The agenda therefore includes the planned planning and construction acceleration law, the building energy law, a harmonization of the various state building regulations, and compacted and serial construction. Urban urban development and building culture are also on the agenda.
The chairwoman of the municipal council is Eva Lohse , former mayor of the city of Ludwigshafen and at one time president of the German Association of Cities . Your deputy is Jürgen Bruns-Berentelg, chairman of the development and marketing company HafenCity Hamburg. Political representatives include the mayors of the cities of Düsseldorf, Hanover, Dortmund, Darmstadt, Leipzig and Magdeburg as well as Münster, Würzburg, Augsburg and Rosenheim. In addition, the cities of Cologne, Frankfurt and Hamburg are represented by politicians.
As a co-signatory, the ZIA supports the demands in the Düsseldorf Declaration on Urban Development Law for a reform of urban planning legislation. Together with over 50 mayors, building departments, town planning councils and town planners, the association shares the requirements for successful town planning based on the model of a sustainable European city - the Leipzig Charter . This includes the clear separation of public and private spaces, the good and permanent design of houses, streets and squares, functional diversity, social diversity and urban density.
In 2019, the ZIA adopted a code of ethics for the housing industry, which it had helped to create and presented it together with Ulrich Ropertz, the managing director of the German tenants' association, as part of the real estate industry day. According to this, the housing industry wants to offer affordable living space in all regions and cities of Germany and take responsibility for safe and affordable living. Their actions according to the principles of the social market economy are based on values that are oriented towards the common good. These are listed in the Codex.
In the course of the Corona crisis , the ZIA developed a joint code of conduct with the German trade association HDE . We hereby take into account the fact that unconditional adherence to the agreed rental agreements would be inappropriate in view of the existing exceptional situation and the contracting parties cannot be expected. For the talks between the contracting parties, a rent reduction of 50 percent should generally serve as a guideline for the closure period in the case of state-ordered company closings.
Annual report
The ZIA writes on its website about the Council of Real Estate Wise Men : “Since autumn 2002, the 'Council of Real Estate Wise Men' has been providing more transparency on the real estate markets with its spring forecasts. With the data on gross production value, employees and real estate inventory recorded for the first time, the real estate industry as one of the most important branches of the economy in Germany should also be better anchored in the public eye. ”The Weisenrat includes a member of the Advisory Council of the Federal Government under the Stability Act. The association regularly presents the result together with a representative of the federal government; most recently this was Parliamentary State Secretary Marco Wanderwitz .
