Active since 2006 (initially as BMB Investment Management Part- ners), Optimum’s team has been set-up in order to support and allow institutional investors to access the German residential and commercial real estate markets, via a vertically integrated structure, which includes Asset, Property and Facility Management. Such model allows for full control and management of the assets, as well as an accurate resources allocation and management focus at each key stage of the value cre- ation process. After having consolidated its presence in Germany, the Company re- sponded to its investor base’s interest to expand into the US real estate market. In 2013, it launched Optimum Asset Management USA LLC and, more recently, created Optimum Development USA LLC, in charge of the ongoing development projects in the United States.
