PANDION is an owner-managed real-estate company with its head office in Cologne As a family-run business that has been managed by Reinhold Knodel since 2002, we are involved in developing, building and selling up-market residential and commercial properties. Apart from building projects at our home base, we also realise projects in Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Mainz, Munich and the Stuttgart area. With around 4,500 apartments being planned and built as well as 13 larger commercial projects, we are one of the top ten property developers in Germany. Our sales volume totals 5 billion euros, 3 billion of which is in housing. PANDION employs a total of 200 people in Cologne, Berlin, Munich and Stuttgart.
Success in business is determined by a number of factors: knowledge and education, experience and instinct, an ultimately courage, acumen and luck. Reinhold Knodel owes his entrepreneurial charisma to all of these factors. He is fully trained carpenter and policeman and completed a business administration degree. His Swabian roots have had influenced him just as much as his Christian upbringing and the fact that he grew up with numerous siblings. This is the foundation on which Knodel’s visions are based, visions which are ultimately responsible for PANDION’s position among the leading companies in the sector.
If you want to make your mark in real-estate in German cities, you have to know how the markets work in these metropolises. Which is why it was always very important for PANDION to maintain a presence in the major cities with its own branches. We now have offices in Munich, Berlin and Stuttgart alongside our head office in Cologne to ensure the continued success of our business.
