The nestbau AG was founded in Tübingen in 2010 by Gunnar Laufer-Stark and is one of the first public benefit corporations in the real estate sector. The company focuses on creating affordable housing by pooling small and micro-investor capital, thereby counteracting the housing shortage.
The mission of nestbau AG is to create high-quality, long-term affordable housing in innovative forms of living. This is supported by a profit restriction in the articles of association to ensure that the focus is on the common good and not on maximum profits[1][4]. Tenants benefit from fair rental conditions and the opportunity to live in climate-friendly and inclusive housing communities[2].
The nestbau AG places great emphasis on sustainability and inclusion. It operates inclusive housing communities and focuses on climate-friendly construction. To ensure the focus on the common good, the company regularly prepares Common Good Balances, which are certified by external audits[1][2].
The nestbau AG is active in neighborhood development and has carried out several projects to create senior-friendly housing. It is also a partner in events such as the GWÖ-Summit, where it advocates for the social impact of companies[4][5].
With its innovative approach, the nestbau AG is positioning itself as a pioneer in the public benefit housing industry.
