About us

BUWOG can look back on 70 years of expe­ri­ence in the resi­den­ti­al real estate sec­tor, is curr­ent­ly crea­ting urgen­tly nee­ded living space with around 55,000 apart­ments under con­s­truc­tion and in plan­ning and is the lar­gest pri­va­te pro­ject deve­lo­per in Ber­lin accor­ding to a recent bul­wi­en­ge­sa stu­dy. BUWOG focu­ses on eco­lo­gi­cal, eco­no­mic and social sus­taina­bi­li­ty in new con­s­truc­tion. In this con­text, the com­pa­ny is pur­suing ambi­tious cli­ma­te pro­tec­tion tar­gets. BUWO­G’s sus­taina­bi­li­ty agen­da extends across the enti­re new con­s­truc­tion busi­ness. BUWOG will increase the pro­por­ti­on of apart­ments with rene­wa­ble ener­gies to at least 35% by 2024. More than one in three new homes will then be sup­pli­ed with rene­wa­ble energy.

Whe­re­ver pos­si­ble and sen­si­ble, the roofs of new BUWOG buil­dings are gree­ned. This pro­vi­des addi­tio­nal habi­tat for nati­ve birds and insects. Wha­t’s more, green roofs can store rain­wa­ter and return it to the natu­ral water cycle through eva­po­ra­ti­on. A posi­ti­ve side effect: plea­sant coo­ling on hot sum­mer days.

At BUWOG, howe­ver, sus­taina­bi­li­ty beg­ins even befo­re the cra­nes start tur­ning: When sel­ec­ting buil­ding mate­ri­als, sus­tainable or recy­cled raw mate­ri­als from the regi­on are used whe­re­ver pos­si­ble. This not only secu­res local jobs, but also redu­ces CO2 emis­si­ons by shor­tening deli­very routes.
