Overview
Kola Invest GmbH is an owner-led family office in Hamburg that invests its own capital, run by managing partners Julian Labandowsky and Adrian Kotowski. It buys, develops and holds real estate across Germany (residential, office, triple-A-let commercial, and building plots in Hamburg) at EUR 1–50 million per deal, with projects in Hamburg-Sasel, St. Peter-Ording and a 102-unit portfolio in Lower Saxony. Through its Ventures arm it acquires profitable, scalable companies outright, including succession cases, and lists influencer-marketing, heating and web-agency businesses. It also refers deals that do not fit to a network of family offices and institutional investors.
