FAQ
Frequently asked questions about CSC standards and processes
What properties are suitable for cannabis cultivation?
In principle, various commercial properties are suitable: warehouses, former production facilities, retail properties in secondary locations, or agricultural buildings. Factors such as sufficient power supply, ventilation options, security aspects, and regulatory approval are crucial. We will assess your property individually to determine its suitability.
What adjustments are typically required?
Depending on the existing property, structural and technical adjustments may be necessary for the power supply, ventilation, insulation, water management, and security systems. We develop a customized concept for each property with minimal intervention in the building fabric and maximum use of existing infrastructure. Many technical installations are modular and can be dismantled if the use of the property changes
How secure and solvent are cannabis social clubs as tenants?
CSCs must meet strict regulatory requirements and are subject to intensive scrutiny. We only work with CSCs that can demonstrate a solid financing model, stable membership numbers, and professional management structures. Solvency is ensured by membership fees, which are usually paid in advance. Our placement rate is over 95% with no payment defaults.
How high is the legal risk when renting to cannabis growers?
Under the new cannabis law, cultivation by licensed cannabis social clubs is legal. As a landlord, you do not bear any criminal risk as long as you rent to properly registered clubs. Our rental agreements contain comprehensive compliance clauses that ensure legal use and protect your property.
How does the leasing model differ from simple renting?
With the leasing model, you provide the tenant not only with the property, but also with high-quality equipment. This increases your investment, but also your return significantly. The equipment remains your property and is depreciated according to business principles. For the CSC, the investment requirement is drastically reduced, which increases its planning security and solvency.

What exactly does the franchise/multi-location concept entail?
This concept is suitable for investors with multiple properties or expansion-oriented CSCs. We develop standardized, scalable facility concepts that can be implemented at different locations. Key elements include uniform quality standards, shared use of resources (personnel, expertise, procurement), and centralized control systems. This creates economies of scale and synergies between the locations
How is regulation for cannabis real estate developing?
Current cannabis legislation defines clear framework conditions for cultivation areas. In the long term, further professionalization and possibly commercial licenses are expected. Our concepts are designed to be adaptable to regulatory changes. We continuously monitor legal developments and adjust our recommendations accordingly.
Can I expect my property to increase in value?
Yes. Specialized cannabis properties with professional plant engineering are gaining above-average value. The technical installations increase the quality of the property, while established use and long-term leases increase the income value. In our reference projects, we have documented value increases of between 25% and 40% within three years.
