For the real world – GFORM at Expo Real 2026

Grocery-anchored real estate rewards people who understand the assets at building level, not just at portfolio level. That’s the business we’re in: property, facility and asset management across grocery-anchored assets in Germany and Europe. European markets don’t all behave the same way, retailers don’t operate the same way, and a lease has to keep working for both sides for many years, not just on the day it’s signed.

Where the value actually sits

Managing that many relationships across that many markets teaches you where the friction actually is. Energy costs neither landlord nor tenant fully controls. Building performance that gets argued about because nobody’s actually measuring it. Service charges reconciled on estimates instead of evidence. None of that gets fixed by good intentions. It’s fixed by the right terms in the lease, backed by the right data.

That’s where Greenman Energy and edyfi come in. Energy designs, builds and operates PV and EV charging infrastructure. edyfi measures how a building is used and performs. We provide the skill to bring both together into a mutually beneficial lease agreement. Cost-sharing structures that make sense to a retailer’s finance team. Service charge clauses backed by real data instead of assumption. Framework terms we can negotiate once and apply consistently across a portfolio, rather than asset by asset.

Negotiating at the right level

Much of our work happens directly with the corporate teams at the grocery retailers themselves, framework agreements that apply across a whole portfolio rather than store by store deals. That only works if the terms are genuinely good for both sides. Bringing energy infrastructure and building data into those conversations changes what they look like, especially once it’s framed as something that lowers running costs and improves the tenant’s own numbers, rather than as a compliance box to tick.

That’s what “For an Interconnected World” means from where we sit in practice: knowing how to put someone else’s energy systems and sensors to work inside a lease, so an owner and a tenant both get something out of it.

At Expo Real

We’ll be showing what that looks like in practice, Hall B3, Stand 409, 5–7 October.

If you’re a developer, asset manager or agent looking at grocery-anchored real estate in Germany or Europe, or a retailer thinking through what a modern framework lease should include, we’d welcome the conversation in Munich.
