Starting in January 2024, Martin Löcker (47) joins CA Immo as Group Head of Development, taking over responsibility for all development, construction, and engineering activities across the Group, including those of Matthias Schmidt who will leave the company at the end of 2023 and will pursue new professional opportunities.


Keegan Viscius, CEO of CA Immo says: "Martin is an industry leader with an impressive international track record of delivering successful developments through market cycles, and brings a depth of experience and insight that will enhance and support our business as we advance through an uncertain market environment. We remain committed to focused investment in value accretive development of high-quality modern office space and are excited for Martin’s leadership to enhance our capabilities in this space. We thank Matthias for his commitment and contribution to many successful projects over his career with CA Immo, and wish him all the best for his private and professional future.”
 
Martin Löcker adds: “The ability to develop future-proof, financially successful real estate projects is now – more than ever – the decisive competitive advantage for a real estate company. Especially in the current market environment, a clear profile on serious sustainability and real customer focus are imperatives for success. I am very much looking forward to contributing my experience and passion to CA Immo, and to further develop the expertise and skills for developing green buildings and timber construction, but also the efficient management of agile project teams."
 
With a technical background in engineering and construction, Martin Löcker has had a long international career in real estate development, most recently at UBM AG where he was a member of the Management Board for 14 years and responsible for all development and construction activities across the Group.
