The Landesbetrieb Immobilienmanagement und Grundvermögen (LIG) is a central part of the municipal administration of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Founded in 2013, the LIG has developed into an important player in the development and marketing of the municipal real estate portfolio. The focus is on design rather than just the management of properties to meet the growing challenges in housing construction and urban development.
The main mission of the LIG is to act as a service provider for the citizens of Hamburg while also operating with a market-oriented approach. The LIG strives to respond and act efficiently to meet the Senate's requirements for housing construction and to make a valuable contribution to the Hamburg budget. An important value is the balance between public welfare orientation and economic action.
The LIG is committed to curbing speculation in the real estate market by acquiring more property than it sells. One goal is to keep at least half of all areas in Hamburg in the ownership of the city. About half of the acquired areas are used for nature and landscape conservation as well as for flood protection. The LIG pursues a sustainable urban development policy that considers not only economic but also ecological and social aspects.
Recently, the LIG has acquired significant plots to influence urban development. This includes the purchase of the former Karstadt building in Harburg and the previous Europcar building on Tangstedter Landstraße. These measures demonstrate the LIG's commitment to a forward-looking and sustainable urban development.
