This selection of German companies operates in the real estate sector, specializing in the ownership and management of shopping centers and retail properties. The firms range from large, established entities like ECE, which creates shopping worlds and offers integrated real estate services, to mid-sized companies such as Apleona Real Estate Management, a leading real estate management company in Germany, Austria, and Poland.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
