Developers

From concept to liveable neighbourhood. All from one source.

For developers who want to take their neighbourhood into an economically successful and socially vibrant operating phase.

200+ neighbourhoods since 2014

We know your world

ANIMUS was founded in 2014 out of Interboden's development practice. With the same question you are asking today: how do we take a new neighbourhood from the first sketch into a healthy, socially vibrant operation? Our answer: from day one, long before the fence comes down.

Born inside development

Interboden, 2014. We did not grow into the industry. We come from it.

200+ neighbourhoods since 2014

Experience from 200+ neighbourhoods since 2014, from Le Flair Düsseldorf (2016) to Haveluferquartier Berlin (2022).

Close to development

Our platform evolves in close exchange with an active developer under the same roof. Practical knowledge from live projects flows straight in.

What's hard today

Three patterns we see in almost every neighbourhood project.

The handover gap

Sales ends, operations begin. Nobody has a closed plan for the handover. The first residents move in, the service concept lives on a slide deck, the neighbourhood team is not yet in place.

Hardware without a concept

Intercom, parcel box, access, climate sensors. Early-stage decisions taken without a digital master concept. Corrections after go-live are expensive and damaging.

Brand break from sales to operations

Sales and marketing tools used during the sales phase are rarely the ones the operator later uses. Buyers and tenants experience two different worlds.

Where you can start

Three typical paths. Pick the one that matches your project stage.

Early stage

Neighbourhood Compass

Before or right after the architecture competition. A half-day workshop to sharpen status quo and target picture together. The basis for all further decisions.

Request the Compass

Mid-development

Structural and digital concept

You are in planning or construction. We accompany the decisions that would be expensive to correct later. Hardware, service concept, digital setup.

Talk to us

Before first move-in

App setup and go-live

Your project is finished or almost ready. We set up the neighbourhood app, integrate hardware, train the operator. Go-live in a few weeks.

Plan the go-live

How ANIMUS accompanies your neighbourhood

From the first sketch to ongoing operations. Four stations where we plug in concretely.

01 · Concept

Strategy and concept

Neighbourhood Compass as a kick-off, then the advisory modules. A reliable decision base before the building application. Seven modules, bookable individually or as a package.

02 · Build and sales

Neighbourhood App and integrations

We plan hardware and systems such as WOWIPORT, NUKI, dormakaba, ista and MyRENZ early. During sales a white-label demo shows your neighbourhood, at first move-in the app goes live. One brand from sales brochure to digital key.

03 · Ongoing operation

Analytics for steering and reporting

Usage data, reporting and recommendations from day one. The operator takes over a steerable system.

To Neighbourhood Analytics

04 · Hold and exit

Asset management

If you hold the neighbourhood, ANIMUS Asset Management takes care of letting, maintenance and reporting, delivered with our partner Quartea Asset Management.

Value and exit

What a thriving neighbourhood is worth

A digitally operated neighbourhood is better to live in and worth more in the end. And that can be proven.

01

ESG and DGNB evidence

Social and environmental metrics straight from live operation. A solid data base for ESG reporting and DGNB-relevant evidence.

02

NOI resilience

Satisfied residents stay longer, service revenues support the yield. A neighbourhood that works socially keeps its cash flow more stable.

03

Value at exit

A consistent resident experience and clean operating data are an asset in the sales process. Buyers value a steerable, documented neighbourhood.
