Our Story
BlueRock Group specialises in targeted real estate investments, with a particular focus on Berlin's residential sector and Germany's property market.
This specialisation has developed through continuous strategic evolution. In 2017, BlueRock Group shifted its investment focus to Germany and expanded its strategy. The Berlin residential market became a key priority, culminating in the launch of our first residential fund in 2016.
Our journey began in 2010 in Zurich when Ronny Pifko and his co-founder established BlueRock Group. Initially, we focused on commercial and residential properties in Switzerland. In 2013, we expanded into Germany with our first office buildings. By 2016, this had evolved into a diversified real estate portfolio, laying the foundation for our current activities and strategic focus on Germany.
From 2017, the Berlin strategy gained further momentum: BlueRock surpassed EUR 1 billion in transaction volume for the first time and welcomed its first institutional investor. With the opening of its Berlin office in 2020 and the establishment of institutional joint ventures, including a EUR 100 million vehicle dedicated to Berlin residential in 2021, the strategic focus on the Berlin housing market deepened further. Alongside this, BlueRock Group remains actively present in the commercial segment: around half of the portfolio under management consists of office properties. Today, BlueRock Group has a cumulative transaction volume of over EUR 1.8 billion, continuously expanding its institutional partnerships, with Tikehau Capital since 2025 and with M&G Real Estate since 2026.
