Vonovia SE is a Berlin‐based residential real estate company and one of Europe’s leading integrated property groups. Listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and trading over the counter in the United States as OTCMKTS:VNNVF, the company owns, manages and develops a diversified portfolio of residential units. Vonovia focuses on long‐term residential rental properties and offers a range of tenant services aimed at enhancing living standards and value retention.
The company traces its roots to Deutsche Annington, which was founded in the early 2000s as a spin‐off from a major energy provider. A series of strategic acquisitions—including the takeover of GAGFAH in 2015 and the Austrian residential provider BUWOG—led to a rebranding as Vonovia SE. Through these mergers, Vonovia significantly expanded its footprint and became a pan‐European player in the residential market.
Vonovia’s core business activities include the acquisition, development and modernization of housing units. The company invests in energy‐efficient refurbishments, digital tenant services and neighborhood upgrades designed to improve sustainability and living comfort. It also provides in‐house property management, technical maintenance and customer care, ensuring a comprehensive service offering throughout the tenant lifecycle.
Operating primarily in Germany, Austria and Sweden, Vonovia holds a substantial presence across major European housing markets. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Rolf Buch, who has been at the helm since the rebranding, and overseen by a Supervisory Board chaired by Wolfgang Breuer. Under this leadership, Vonovia continues to pursue a strategy of stable rental income, organic growth and selective acquisitions to strengthen its market position.
