Vonovia SE, traded over the counter in the U.S. under the symbol VONOY, is Europe’s largest private residential real estate company. Headquartered in Bochum, Germany, the company focuses on the acquisition, development and management of rental housing. Its core activities include property and asset management, tenant services and portfolio optimisation aimed at ensuring high occupancy rates and long-term rental income stability.
Originally founded in 2000 as Deutsche Annington, the firm adopted the Vonovia name in 2015 following the completion of a major corporate restructuring and the acquisition of additional housing portfolios. Key milestones in its growth include the integration of BUWOG in Austria and expansion into Sweden, as well as the 2021 takeover of Deutsche Wohnen, which significantly increased its presence in Germany’s major metropolitan regions.
Today, Vonovia’s portfolio encompasses more than half a million residential units across Germany, Austria and Sweden. Beyond traditional leasing activities, the company invests in modernisation projects, digital tenant platforms and energy-efficient upgrades. These initiatives reflect Vonovia’s commitment to sustainable housing solutions, operational efficiency and enhanced living standards for its residents.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Rolf Buch, Vonovia’s management team brings extensive expertise in real estate finance, development and operations. The company remains focused on disciplined growth in its core European markets, ongoing portfolio optimisation and the delivery of high-quality residential living environments.
