ZEITGEIST Asset Management

To accompany our presence at MIPIM, we are pleased to share our latest interview for Property Forum, showcasing how ZEITGEIST is scaling its PRS and PBSA platform across Central and Eastern Europe.

We talk about why Czechia and Poland remain the core markets, where we currently manage around 1,000 long-term rental apartments and 2,000 student beds, and why we believe up to 25% of households will migrate towards high-quality, professionally managed rental housing in the coming years.

We discuss how hybrid projects like ZEITRAUM Racławicka in Kraków – combining 249 student beds with 182 fully furnished serviced apartments – are helping us future-proof our assets by flexibly responding to changing urban living patterns, remote work and evolving lifestyle expectations.

Finally, we address office-to-living conversions such as Táborská in Prague and ZEITRAUM Solec in Warsaw, which turn underperforming, well-located office buildings into much-needed housing and student accommodation, aligning strong investment performance with urban revitalization and ESG goals.

We invite you to read the full conversation and to meet us in Cannes to continue the discussion on the future of rental living in the CEE region

Hybrid living models gain ground in CEE: Inside Zeitgeist’s strategy for urban revitalisation | NEWS Institutional rental housing and student accommodation are expanding rapidly across CEE as urbanisation, housing shortages and changing lifestyle patterns reshape demand. At the same time, investors are increasingly exploring conversions, hybrid living concepts and heritage revitalisations to create...

We are celebrating! Zeitraum, a daughter company of Zeitgeist, marked its tenth anniversary on the Czech market. Over the past decade, it has become one of the largest private providers of high-quality student accommodation and serviced apartments in the Czech Republic and Poland.

Today, Zeitraum operates three apartment buildings in the centers of Prague and Pilsen and manages seven dormitories in Prague, Krakow, and Warsaw, offering a total of over 2,000 beds. The company plans to expand to other university cities in the Czech Republic and beyond. Within three years, it intends to increase the number of beds by 700-1,000.

"When we started ten years ago, the concept of private student housing with full service, modern design, and flexible rental periods was virtually unknown in the Czech Republic. We have gradually expanded our portfolio to include serviced apartments for the general public," says Zdena Noack, CEO of Zeitraum, adding: "Today, we are proud to have helped define a new standard in this segment.”

Here’s to the next decade of innovation and growth! 🚀

Great news! We are entering 2026 with even more ready-to-move-in living options: from January, the second tranche of serviced rental apartments at ZEITRAUM Racławicka in Kraków has been opened, 👉bringing the total offer to 182 units available for tenants.

Each apartment comes fully furnished and equipped to a high standard – from a comfortable sofa, through a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom, to bedding, towels, dishes and even small everyday essentials.

Residents have access to high-quality common areas designed to foster well-being and a sense of community, including a well-equipped gym and a dedicated yoga room.

🔸COMFORT, AMENITIES, LOCATION
For even greater everyday comfort, the property provides an underground garage and above-ground parking spaces, as well as bicycle racks and access to on-site services. A flexible rental model and the option of serviced apartments (including cleaning and linen changes) mean that all key needs are handled in one place.

ZEITRAUM Racławicka is a modern mixed-use development combining a student house and serviced apartments. It is located in Kraków’s dynamic Krowodrza district, just next to the railway station, from where you can reach Kraków Główny in only a few minutes. The neighborhood offers a wide range of restaurants, services and sports facilities.

We warmly invite professionals, students and anyone looking for comfortable, flexible and community-oriented living to discover our newly available serviced apartments!

The building is operated by ZEITRAUM, a daughter company of ZEITGEIST Asset Management.

We've reached another milestone! 🎉 The architectural competition for the new urban quarter “27 ha Möglichkeiten” (27 hectares of possibilities) in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen has been decided. The jury selected the design by the Paris-based firm ChartierDalix & serp SAS, which won with its coherent and forward-looking urban development concept.

The extensive area in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, long dominated by commercial and underused structures, will soon be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use urban quarter — with commercial spaces, about 2.500 residential units, social infrastructure, and generous green areas.

"With the design by ChartierDalix & serp SAS, we have selected a team that clearly recognised the urban development potential of the site. The firm combines design quality with a keen sense of the needs of the local people – exactly the balance needed for a vibrant neighbourhood that will strengthen Alt-Hohenschönhausen in the long term.”, said Steffen Jüstel, ZEITGEIST Asset Management's Managing Director.

The award-winning team merges contemporary design with a strong focus on ecology, seeing architecture as a living system that integrates multiple uses and forms of coexistence.

"The new “27 ha Möglichkeiten” urban quarter in Berlin-Lichtenberg clearly shows how forward-looking urban development can work. The winning design focuses on user-friendly open space design and a resilient mix of commercial, affordable housing, and social and green infrastructure.This combination enables short distances and a connected living environment in which work, education, and local amenities are close together.", says Camilla Schuler, Lichtenberg’s Deputy Mayor and District Councilor for Urban Development, Construction and Facility Management, Youth and Family Affairs.

The competition jury included representatives of ZEITGEIST Asset Management, external experts, and members of the BVV, the Senate, and district authorities.

Delta Hagibor Residence has received the international BREEAM sustainability certificate — a mark of excellence in quality, efficiency, and environmental performance.

Managed by Zeitgeist Asset Management on behalf of Invesco Real Estate, this exclusive residential project guarantees that tenants live in a building meeting the highest standards of comfort and sustainability. In practical terms, this means lower energy consumption thanks to advanced technologies, improved indoor air quality and daylight access, and a design that respects and protects the environment.

"The Delta Hagibor Residence proves that modern rental apartments can be comfortable, economical, and environmentally friendly at the same time. The certification audit confirmed that the facility meets strict international standards for energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and environmental friendliness," says Peter Noack, CEO of Zeitgeist Asset Management.

The project particularly excelled in transport accessibility (89%), materials used (75%), and maintenance and management (71%).

This outstanding result was made possible through close collaboration among all project participants and Grinity, who supported the certification process as consultants.
