Christoph Gröner, a leading client in Germany, is based in Berlin, but he has been building nothing in the capital for two years. In a conversation, he declared himself a convinced social democrat, although he donated a considerable sum to the Berlin CDU in 2020. Gröner emphasizes that the rising property prices in cities such as Munich and Hamburg lead to priceless construction costs, which makes it difficult to realize affordable living space. In Leipzig, the construction costs are significantly cheaper in comparison.

As a Groener started building in Berlin in 2010, the property prices were significantly lower. He observes an enormous increase in prices, which means that the rental costs in Berlin increase significantly. Gröner explains that the high property prices are a main factor that makes affordable living space in the city difficult.

Despite the potential in Berlin, Gröner has held back in the past two years because the exploding property prices make the new building economically unprofitable. He emphasizes that the purchasing power of the citizens significantly determines real estate prices and leads this as the main reason for the slowdown of his construction project.

GRÖNER criticizes the current economic policy in Berlin, which, in his opinion, leads to inadequate purchasing power. He calls for more efficient use of the available resources to combat the lack of housing. Gröner suggests innovative solutions such as covering motorways to create living space.

In terms of energy -efficient technologies, Groen prefers geothermal energy for his projects. He expresses concerns about an excessive expansion of air heat pumps and split air conditioning systems in apartments. Despite his political orientation as a social democrat, Gröner donated to the CDU to establish a bourgeois class in Berlin and to promote more balanced political discourse.
