PATRIZIA, a global investment manager for smart real asset solutions, has appointed Dr Christoph Fuchs as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), marking a significant step in strengthening its technology expertise and digital platform capabilities to better execute its mid-term investment strategy. Dr. Fuchs joins PATRIZIA from Ströer Group, a leading media and digital services company in Germany.
As the industry undergoes rapid technological evolution driven by the DUEL megatrends: digitalisation, urbanisation, energy transition and living transition PATRIZIA is investing in technology and digital innovation as a core enabler of its growth strategy and commitment to delivering smart real asset solutions. Christoph Fuchs will play a key role in building a data-driven digital platform that enhances collaboration, operational efficiency and investment performance – all critical to supporting PATRIZIA’s sector-centric investment platform and responding swiftly and effectively to evolving client needs.
With this move, PATRIZIA is advancing its platform strategy following the successful launch last year of a sector-focused integrated investment platform for real estate and infrastructure, as well as an international client platform. The addition of the Chief Technology Office complements the Executive Division, which also oversees Investments Operations and Corporate Affairs. PATRIZIA’s platform approach is designed to foster greater collaboration, efficiency and accountability across the entire company.
Asoka Wöhrmann, CEO of PATRIZIA, commented: “Technology is a key driver of the DUEL megatrends shaping both our industry and broader society. It is also a critical enabler of the convergence between real estate and infrastructure – what we define as the rapidly emerging RE-Infra investment segment. With the appointment of our new Chief Technology Officer, Christoph Fuchs, we are strengthening our technology expertise and digital platform. This is another important step in advancing our platform approach across all business divisions to improve collaboration and execution. I am confident that Christoph will accelerate the development of a cutting-edge digital platform, enabling us to fully harness technology as a powerful growth driver in the new investment cycle.”
The newly created Chief Technology Office managed by Christoph Fuchs will form a central part of PATRIZIA’s Executive Division and focus on developing a comprehensive digital platform, advancing PATRIZIA’s IT infrastructure, and driving next-generation digital solutions to future-proof the company’s investment platform.

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.
BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.
“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
