In brief
Retain ownership. Hand over operations.
kenner assesses hotels, guesthouses, apartment buildings and connected units for long-term lease. Our initial review covers the location, approximately 3 to 50 units, floor area, layouts, current use and the owner's preferred structure. Any commitment follows only after legal, technical and commercial assessment of the individual property.
Retain ownership. Reshape operations.
A long-term lease can reduce operational responsibility while creating a clear future for the property. The location, permitted use, layout and commercial model must work together.
One point of contact
Direct communication from the initial property assessment through to a possible start of operations.
Clear assessment
We consider the micro-location, demand, floor area, permits and operating concept together.
Long-term perspective
Lease models are tailored to the individual property and a permanently viable hospitality use.
Our search profile for lease properties.
We are looking for existing hospitality properties and connected spaces that can be operated efficiently and personally.
Size
- Approximately 3 to 50 rooms or units
- Usually around 200 to 2,000 m² gross floor area
- Existing hospitality use or a realistically assessable conversion
Location
- Central or well connected to relevant demand
- Year-round mix of business and leisure stays
- Good access by rail, public transport or car
Where we are looking for properties.
Our focus is Central Germany and Berlin. Alongside the core cities, we assess strong regional towns and well-connected surrounding areas.
- Thuringia
- Erfurt, Weimar and Jena
- Saxony
- Leipzig, Chemnitz and Dresden
- Saxony-Anhalt
- Halle (Saale) and Magdeburg
- Berlin
- City and well-connected surroundings
There is no rigid minimum population. Locations such as Merseburg can be attractive due to industry, a university, project demand and proximity to the Leipzig–Halle region. The specific local demand is decisive.
Finding a suitable lease model.
Share the key facts
Location, property type, units, floor area, current use and available floor plans allow an initial classification.
Assess the potential and property
We review demand, micro-location, permitted use, floor efficiency and the commercial framework. If the initial assessment is positive, we visit the property in person.
Agree the model
Where there is a potential fit, we discuss the term, responsibilities, investment and a possible operational transition.

Frequently asked questions
What owners want to know first.
Which properties are suitable for a lease?
We assess hotels, guesthouses, aparthotels, boarding houses, apartment buildings and connected portfolios with generally 3 to 50 units.
Do you lease individual apartments?
Our focus is at least three connected units or clearly separated spaces. Individual apartments spread across different buildings will generally not suit our operating model.
Is the property already approved for hospitality use?
Existing and documented hospitality use is preferable. For other uses, we assess only case by case whether a legally and commercially realistic conversion may be possible.
Which locations are suitable?
Our focus is Erfurt, Weimar, Jena, Leipzig, Halle, Magdeburg, Chemnitz, Dresden and Berlin. We also assess connected surrounding areas and smaller locations with stable tourism or business demand.
Which information do you need first?
For an initial assessment, we need the address or location, number of units, approximate floor area, floor plans, current use and a brief outline of your lease expectations.
Do you assess complete portfolios?
Yes, where the units form a sensible geographic and operational cluster. Compact portfolios are assessed as a whole; this does not constitute an advance commitment to take them on.
Your property. Our personal assessment.
Send us the location, number of units, floor area and available plans. We will respond personally with an initial view.
