Developers
From concept to liveable neighbourhood. All from one source.
For developers who don't just build neighbourhoods but want to transition them into an economically successful and socially vibrant operations phase.
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: not when the fence comes down, but from day one.
Born inside development
Interboden, 2014. We did not grow into the industry. We come from it.
250+ neighbourhoods
From Le Flair Düsseldorf (2016) to Haveluferquartier Berlin (2022). Over ten years of experience across all asset classes.
An active developer under one roof
Our platform grows every day with an active developer under the same roof. Inside-out market knowledge others only have in theory.
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 one-day workshop. Sharpen status quo and target picture together. The basis for all further decisions.
Request the CompassMid-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.

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-liveHow 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 follow-up modules. A reliable decision base before the building application. Six advisory modules, bookable individually or as a package.
To Neighbourhood Advisory02 · Build
Integration and preparation
WOWIPORT, NUKI, dormakaba, ista, MyRENZ. Integrations are agreed before the building application goes out.
To Integrations03 · Sales and first move-in
Sales and resident app
White-label demo during sales. Seamless transition into the live app at move-in. One brand from sales brochure to digital key.
To the Neighbourhood App04 · Ongoing operations
Hub for steering and reporting
Usage data, reporting and recommendations from day one. The operator gets not just a neighbourhood but a steerable system.

What a thriving neighbourhood is worth
A digitally operated neighbourhood is not only nicer to live in. It is worth more in the end, and that can be proven.
01
ESG and DGNB evidence
Social and environmental metrics from live operations, not estimates. 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 pay for a steerable, documented neighbourhood, not a black box.
