Christoph has always been passionate about real estate and investment opportunities, and for more than 25 years now, has participated as a shareholder in his family’s companies, which, along with Sunaccess, also include Stabau, Alpha, and Cambium.

This ties into the core, overarching aim of Sunaccess, which is to make a positive difference in the lives of its clients, partners, investors, and service providers by embodying its values on a daily basis and possessing excellent conduct across the board. Aided by a vision to, “create access to specialty markets and products with above average increases in value thereby establishing new and unimagined opportunities”, the last decade has seen Christoph accumulate a track record of more than €4 billion in real estate investment. The key focus areas throughout this period have been the residential sector, hotels, and office properties in both the Western Europe and Canadian markets. 2021 also saw the company expand its portfolio in the form of real estate developments, carried out by forging partnerships with a series of local experts, working primarily on high class properties in Bavaria, Austria, and Canada. Over the course of his storied career, Christoph has honed a great many skills that have made him the man he is today, including acquisition of office, retail, and hotels across the world, the structuring of complex investments for institutional investors and closed funds alike, the financing of real estate along with a wide banking network, corporate real estate, and asset management.
