Arrow Global Accelerates Growth in Germany with Acquisition of Ziegert Group Assets
Accessibility
Arrow Global Germany GmbH (“Arrow Germany”), a subsidiary of Arrow Global Group Limited, a leading vertically integrated alternative asset manager specialising in credit and real estate, today announced the acquisition of the platform assets of the Ziegert Group (“Ziegert”). Ziegert, a market-leading residential real estate company headquartered in Berlin, entered insolvency proceedings in June 2025.
This transaction extends Arrow’s German real estate footprint to Berlin and strengthens its ability to deliver brokerage, servicing, and investment opportunities across the region. Building on Arrow’s 2024 acquisition of Interboden’s operating capabilities, it reinforces the Group’s strategy to scale in Europe’s largest economy while adding deep local expertise in Berlin.
Notably, the acquisition allows Arrow Germany to invest in multiple real estate projects, including high-end residential developments with a gross development value of €450 million. In addition, Ziegert’s established debt-brokerage arm will accelerate the build-out of Arrow’s real estate lending franchise, enabling the firm to offer a full suite of credit solutions in Germany including Bridging, Refurbishment, Development Exit, Development Finance, and bespoke lending solutions. The Ziegert name will be retained, ensuring continuity and leveraging its strong brand reputation in the German market.
Founded in 1985 and currently managing projects with a gross development value approaching €1.3 billion, Ziegert brings four decades of experience in German residential real estate. The firm has sold more than €4 billion of property and over 25,000 residential units, and operates a full-service platform covering land acquisition, development, financing, marketing, sales, and property management. By joining Arrow, Ziegert becomes part of a pan-European platform that covers eight Western European countries, providing proprietary access to granular, asset-backed opportunities and supporting €112 billion of assets under management.
Zach Lewy, Founder, CEO, and Chief Investment Officer at Arrow Global, said:
“Ziegert’s capabilities and presence give Arrow greater scale and investment reach in one of Europe’s most attractive residential markets. By combining Ziegert’s brokerage expertise with our discretionary fund capital, we will accelerate the provision of a full suite of real estate lending products across Germany, further enhancing our ability to originate, reposition, and actively manage real estate assets at institutional scale.”
Bernhard H. Hansen, CEO of Arrow Global Germany, added:
“With a strong network in the German residential market, Ziegert provides an immediate opportunity to grow our platform in a highly investable sector. The addition of its sales and debt-brokerage teams broadens our capabilities and supports our lending ambitions.”
