- Recurring partnerships strongly contribute to deal pipeline, underscoring
market trust - 2,2000 new units: limehome grows more than twice as fast as previous year
- New locations signed in Berlin, Stuttgart and Stralsund
Munich, 15 July 2025: Limehome, Europe’s leading tech-enabled operator of functional
design apartments, continues its rapid growth trajectory in the first half of 2025. From
January to June alone, the company secured over 2,000 additional units. This more than
doubles the 1,000 units from the same period in 2024. Nine new cities were added to the
Limehome portfolio and ten new properties opened for guests, underscoring Limehome’s
role as a preferred partner for owners and developers in challenging market conditions.
Repeated success with established partners has been central to that momentum. In the
first half of 2025, 44 percent of new projects stemmed from recurring partnerships (up from
30 percent in 2024), reflecting growing confidence in Limehome’s fully digital, automated
operating model.
This development is exemplified by the collaboration with Hamburg-
based developer Centralis, with whom limehome recently agreed its fourth joint
project. Among the flagship follow-up deals in the first half ot the year is the forthcoming
59-unit conversion at Berlin Friedrichstraße 209. The “Pariser Hof” mixed-use building
across from Berlin tourist hotspot Checkpoint Charlie has a rich history dating back to 1906
and follows a previous successful collaboration with owner Berlinhaus in Berlin-
Sybelstraße. A third joint project with a Berlin-based developer adds a first Limehome
location in Stralsund with 24 units, a picturesque leisure destination on Germany’s Baltic
Sea shore. Located at Apollonienmarkt 1, the property is a marked UNESCO World
Heritage Site in the historic city center.
Berlin, Stuttgart, Potsdam: Recurring partnerships fuel sustained expansion
Limehome’s flexible business model has proven advantageous as hotel operators and real
estate partners navigate cost pressure and shifting demand patterns. Recent signings in
Potsdam and Stuttgart highlight the company’s versatility. A redevelopment in Potsdam
will add around 120 units in a central city location. In Stuttgart’s Feuerbach
neighbourhood, Limehome secured more than 90 apartments in a mixed-use building.
Both projects will be realised with repeat investors and illustrate how Limehome can deliver
solutions for under-utilised space and development projects.
Despite the challenging economic climate, Limehome has maintained robust operational
performance with an occupancy rate above 90% across all locations. The company
continues to deliver attractive yields by blending business and leisure travel demand and
by operating profitably in properties of almost any size. Customer loyalty developed
favourably as well, with the repeat guest share climbing to 25 percent, up from 20 percent
in 2024.
“Our growth shows that long-term partnerships and tech-enabled efficiency are a winning
combination in the current market,” says Limehome co-founder and co-CEO Josef
Vollmayr. “What sets Limehome apart is our ability to unlock value from almost any real
estate asset, be it office conversions, hotel takeovers or new developments in A- to D-
cities. Nearly half of our deals in 2025 are with existing partners. That is the ultimate vote
of confidence in our model’s ability to deliver sustainable returns.”
Looking ahead, Limehome will continue to deepen its footprint in its core geographies
while remaining open to projects of any size and asset class. With a strong pipeline and
cash-efficient operations, the company is on course to further cement its position
among Europe’s largest hospitality brands.
