Gewobag is a German property company owned by the State of Berlin[2] which plans to own 80,000 apartments by 2030 in order to improve housing affordability.[3]
Gewobag's name comes from a shortening of its former legal name, German: Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau-AG Groß Berlin, roughly "Public Housing Construction Corporation of Greater Berlin".
In September 2019 Gewobag bought 6000 apartments, mostly in Spandau and Reinickendorf.[2] The purchase from ADO Properties cost 920 million euros[3] and is considered the largest such purchase of apartments ever for Berlin.[2]
In January 2020, the European Investment Bank provided Gewobag with a €240 million loan as part of a cooperation agreement to support the construction of 2,000 housing units by 2023. Additionally, in June 2021, the company issued a "Social Bond" worth €500 million on the capital market.[4] In the 2024 financial year, the company completed approximately 1,000 apartments.[1]
