Solving Vacancy Through Smart Real Estate Matching
Across Germany and Europe, high street vacancies are rising — threatening the vibrancy of city centers and the value of retail real estate. Leerstandslotsen, a PropTech startup based in Leverkusen, is addressing this challenge with a digital platform that matches vacant commercial spaces with the right tenants quickly, discreetly, and intelligently.
A Platform That Connects Space With Demand
Think of Leerstandslotsen as a matchmaking engine for retail real estate. Property owners and municipalities list available spaces, while expanding businesses anonymously share their location and space needs. A proprietary algorithm filters for compatibility and helps both sides find the right fit — faster and with far less friction than traditional leasing models.
The process is simple: list a space, activate a match, and connect. Both sides retain control over their data, and visibility is granted only when there’s a relevant match — allowing for strategic, discreet conversations in sensitive negotiations.
Helping Cities and Owners Reclaim Their Streets
Municipalities use Leerstandslotsen as a tool for economic development and urban activation. Real estate stakeholders — from private landlords to institutional operators — use it to reduce downtime, increase property value, and access a pool of qualified tenants.
The platform operates as a B2B SaaS solution with a subscription model tailored to the needs of public and private clients. This creates long-term partnerships and predictable revenue streams, with services that can scale across regions and property types.
Positioned for Growth
With an increasing need for digital tools in real estate and growing vacancy in commercial spaces, Leerstandslotsen is well-timed to capture a significant share of an underserved market. The company is already collaborating with key partners in the public and private sectors and is actively expanding its geographic reach and platform capabilities.
Future roadmap extensions include new asset classes such as office, healthcare, and parking, as well as integrations to support international rollout.
A Vision for the Future of Urban Real Estate
Founded by a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in real estate, technology, and urban development, Leerstandslotsen emerged from a nationally funded innovation program and has already gained recognition in the PropTech space.
The startup is now focusing on scaling its technology, growing its customer base, and deepening its role as a trusted partner in urban transformation.
Leerstandslotsen isn’t just solving vacancy — it’s building the digital infrastructure that tomorrow’s city centers will rely on.
