In keeping with this balanced portfolio strategy, business activities are concentrated on the acquisition of long-term investments in and the active management of largely completed business properties as well as the profitable sale of selected objects. The ECO business model is rounded out by development activities, which provide an additional source of earnings and help to optimise the portfolio.
ECO works to achieve a balanced mix of office and retail properties. This diversification is designed to provide protection against short-term negative changes in individual segments. Effective property management and trading activities support a sustainable increase in the value of the portfolio.
Investments and a steady improvement in the attractiveness of the individual objects lead to an increase in earnings, which are realised in the form of rising rental income or profitable sales. The foundation of this success is formed by the careful selection of properties that have a high potential for development and an increase in value. In accordance with its balanced portfolio strategy, the risk and earnings in the ECO portfolio are optimally diversified on a regional basis through investments in the markets of Eastern and Western Europe.
