BuildingMinds, a Berlin-based real estate technology company founded in 2019, was initially created by Schindler Group to address building data monitoring and management needs. With €150 million in funding from Schindler and technological support from Microsoft, BuildingMinds has evolved into a significant player in the PropTech industry.
The company's core offering is a cloud-based SaaS platform that serves as a comprehensive solution for real estate portfolio management. It focuses on ESG reporting, carbon risk calculation, and retrofit planning, aiming to transform real estate from a resource-consuming industry into a resource-generating one.
BuildingMinds' team has grown to over 150 experts across 40 countries, led by CEO Marek Sacha, who was previously recognized on Forbes' 30-under-30 list. The company's platform leverages AI and machine learning to help real estate managers navigate complex data landscapes and make data-driven decisions.
In recent developments, BuildingMinds organized a seminar in France in December 2024, focusing on improving ESG performance in real estate. The company also announced a strategic partnership with Optiml in March 2025 to enhance retrofit analysis and regulatory reporting capabilities.
BuildingMinds collaborates with global organizations like GRESB and CRREM, providing tools for sustainability reporting and carbon risk assessment. The company's efforts align with the growing emphasis on sustainable practices and regulatory compliance in the real estate sector.
