Nexum Group AG, a fast-growing residential real estate developer, has been officially entered in the commercial register, marking the start of its operations in Germany's top-7 cities. The company was formed through the strategic realignment and further development of the former Creditshelf AG, with First Capital AG acquiring a majority stake in June 2026. The shareholders' meeting approved the name change, amended the articles of incorporation to reflect the new business scope, and elected a new supervisory board.
Nexum's business model focuses on acquiring residential development projects in prime locations within Germany's top-7 cities, specifically those with building permits already granted or expected in the near term. This approach aims to accelerate project execution and reduce development risks. The company employs technology- and data-driven processes to analyze, prioritize, and evaluate potential projects, enabling faster screening and execution. Currently, Nexum has a qualified deal pipeline with a total development volume exceeding EUR 1 billion, and several projects are close to completion.
The management team brings extensive experience from real estate, M&A, and capital markets, with a combined transaction value of more than EUR 30 billion. CEO Philipp von Erffa, who has over 13 years of senior real estate industry experience and has advised on transactions worth over EUR 20 billion, leads the investment strategy and transaction pipeline. CFO Sebastian Holl, with 30 years in finance and capital markets, oversees financial functions and strategy. Claudia Vucak, as Chief People & Legal Officer, manages organizational development, legal, and compliance.
The supervisory board, chaired by Dr. Johannes von Bismarck, includes Dr. Annedore Streyl and Marquard von Pfetten-Arnbach, bringing expertise in private equity, investment banking, and governance. Their combined knowledge supports Nexum's growth and strategic direction.
Nexum defines a new category of project developers by focusing on rapid implementation, capital turnover, and scalability, supported by data-driven systems. Unlike traditional developers, it shortens project durations to 15-30 months, reduces tied-up capital, and ensures high planning certainty. The company's pipeline of over EUR 1 billion underscores its potential impact on the German residential market, particularly in addressing housing needs in major cities.
