ABG FRANKFURT HOLDING GmbH is Frankfurt am Main's municipal housing and real estate company. Headquartered in the city, it manages over 54,000 apartments and approximately 37,000 other rental properties, such as parking and commercial spaces, making it one of the largest housing providers in Germany. The company employs around 800 people and operates exclusively in the Frankfurt metropolitan area and its surroundings.
The origins of ABG FRANKFURT HOLDING reach back to the late 19th century, originally under the name Aktienbaugesellschaft für kleine Wohnungen. In its current form as ABG FRANKFURT HOLDING GmbH, it was established in the 1990s to consolidate the city’s residential housing interests.
A notable ongoing project is the redevelopment of the Platensiedlung in Frankfurt-Ginnheim, where ABG is transforming a 1950s former US Army residential estate. By raising building heights and constructing new structures, the project will add 681 affordable apartments, with a significant portion subsidized and 177 units designated for students. This redevelopment exemplifies ABG's focus on providing affordable, energy-efficient living spaces while balancing urban density and quality of life.
Four out of ten ABG apartments are subsidized for low or middle-income residents. The company is also known as a pioneer in passive house construction, which reduces heating costs for tenants and supports environmental goals. ABG’s activities include project development, property management, commercial and residential leasing, and urban neighborhood planning.
