MUNICH, GERMANY - Nexum Group AG, a new residential real estate developer, has been entered in the commercial register, marking the start of its operations. The company was formed through the strategic realignment and further development of the former Creditshelf AG. In June 2026, First Capital AG acquired a majority stake in the company, leading to a shareholders' meeting where the name change to Nexum Group AG was decided, along with amendments to the articles of incorporation and the election of a new supervisory board.
Nexum's business model focuses on the rapid execution of residential real estate projects in prime locations within Germany's top-7 cities. The company acquires development projects that already have building permits or are expected to receive them in the near term, thereby reducing development risks. By employing technology- and data-driven processes, Nexum enhances the analysis, prioritization, and evaluation of potential projects, enabling faster screening and execution. The company currently has a qualified deal pipeline with a total development volume exceeding EUR 1 billion, with several projects close to completion.
The management team brings extensive experience from real estate, M&A, and capital markets transactions, with an aggregate value of more than EUR 30 billion. CEO Philipp von Erffa has over 13 years in the real estate industry and has advised on transactions worth over EUR 20 billion. CFO Sebastian Holl has 30 years of finance and capital markets experience, while Claudia Vucak, as Chief People & Legal Officer, oversees organizational development, legal, and compliance. The supervisory board includes Dr. Johannes von Bismarck (Chairman), Dr. Annedore Streyl, and Marquard von Pfetten-Arnbach, all with expertise in private equity, investment banking, and governance.
Nexum's approach distinguishes it from traditional project developers. The company carries out projects through established general contractors and manages marketing via its own and partner sales networks. Project durations are typically shortened to 15 to 30 months, reducing capital tied up and increasing planning certainty. This model is designed for rapid implementation, capital turnover, and scalability, supported by data-driven systems.
The launch of Nexum Group AG could have significant implications for the residential real estate market in Germany's top-7 cities. The company's focus on speed and efficiency may address urgent housing needs, potentially increasing supply and influencing market dynamics. With a pipeline of over EUR 1 billion, Nexum is poised to become a major player, possibly setting new standards for project development in the region.
