Patrizia manages 56 billion euros in assets. Executive Director Konrad Finkenzeller argues that reliable public-private partnerships are the missing link for infrastructure development.

Patrizia manages approximately 56 billion euros in assets. The company operates internationally from its base in Augsburg. Executive Director Konrad Finkenzeller oversees customer relations and fundraising. He identifies public-private partnerships as the sector's biggest untapped potential.

Finkenzeller states that neither the state nor the private sector can solve housing and infrastructure challenges alone. Long-term capital is available. What is often missing are reliable framework conditions. Standardized approaches and the will to implement projects jointly and quickly are also lacking.

Public-Private Partnerships Drive Growth

According to Handelsblatt Finanzen, the German real estate market faces structural deficits. Finkenzeller points to housing, energy, mobility, and social infrastructure. He emphasizes that local market knowledge remains critical for investment success. Global capital flows do not negate the need for regional expertise.

The executive notes that asset expertise is often underestimated. Decisions are driven by local conditions rather than global trends. Patrizia’s strategy relies on this localized approach. The firm aims to bridge the gap between public needs and private efficiency.

Regulatory Barriers Hinder Investment

Finkenzeller argues that regulatory uncertainty slows down project execution. Investors require stable legal frameworks to deploy capital. Standardized processes would reduce friction in public-private deals. The current environment lacks the consistency needed for rapid deployment.

The call for change is clear. Policymakers must create predictable conditions. Private investors are ready to act. The delay is attributed to a lack of mutual trust and standardized rules. Speed in implementation is the key metric for success.
