GTC appoints SEIL for AWAY and WEST Portfolio disposals in southern Germany

Warsaw-listed Global Trade Center Group (GTC) has mandated Frankfurt and London-based Seil Real Estate (SEIL) to structure and execute the disposal of two defined residential clusters in southern Germany under the project names AWAY and WEST. The 29 assets stem from GTC’s 2024 acquisition of 5,200 residential units from Peach Property Group, which marked the company’s entry into the German residential market. GTC is now selectively monetising certain regional concentrations within the portfolio.

The AWAY portfolio comprises residential properties located in Heidenheim, Kaiserslautern, Bad Kreuznach, Worms and Königsbronn. The WEST portfolio includes assets in Ilvesheim in the Mannheim region as well as two properties near Saarbrücken in Völklingen and Dillingen/Saar. Together, the clusters comprise 522 units with more than 38,000 sqm of rental area, representing small- to mid-sized residential buildings in established micro-locations with stable tenant structures and operational upside potential.

Instead of marketing the holdings as a single package, GTC has opted for a segmented execution model. Each asset within AWAY and WEST will be positioned individually in the market, enabling targeted investor outreach and price optimisation on an asset-by-asset basis.

SEIL specialises in decomposing institutional portfolios into scalable individual opportunities in the €1m to €30m per-asset range. The firm focuses on matching regional capital, family offices and specialised residential investors with clearly defined single-asset transactions. Both clusters are characterised by employment-driven tenant demand in established secondary cities, manageable entry pricing compared to major metropolitan markets and operational upside through vacancy reduction and refurbishment measures.

Maximilian Seil, Founder of the Seil Group, comments: “Under current market conditions, scale alone does not create pricing tension. Precision does. By separating portfolios into clearly structured individual transactions, the potential investor universe expands significantly. Regional capital is highly active but invests selectively and requires transparency at asset level. When portfolios are broken down intelligently, absorption improves and cumulative pricing often exceeds bulk bids.”

SEIL will coordinate the preparation of asset-level documentation, investor communication and the transaction process for the AWAY and WEST clusters. Market observers note that residential assets in established secondary cities continue to attract disciplined capital, particularly where operational improvements and refurbishment measures can unlock additional value.
