Art-Invest Real Estate is making a leadership change at its Frankfurt office. Roland Stöcklin will join the management board of Art-Invest Real Estate Management on September 15, 2025, taking over responsibility for the branch from Stephen von der Brüggen, who is stepping down after 15 years with the company.
Stöcklin will oversee the Frankfurt operations, which currently manage projects totaling around 200,000 square meters with a combined volume of approximately €1 billion. He brings extensive experience from more than a decade as managing director of SEG – Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Wiesbaden and EGM – Entwicklungsgesellschaft der Metropolregion Rhein-Main. In addition, he serves as spokesperson for the ZIA-Region Mitte, sits on the Hessian State Government’s Commission for Innovation in Construction, and is a member of the Regional Assembly of South Hesse. He holds a civil engineering degree from the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt.
“I am looking forward to the upcoming change of perspective,” Stöcklin said. “Art-Invest offers me the right professional challenge, with pioneering projects and an exceptional team. I am pleased to take responsibility for long-term investments in the Rhine-Main region, where Art-Invest’s quality standards align closely with my own approach to architecture and client satisfaction.”
Von der Brüggen, who joined Art-Invest in 2010, was instrumental in establishing the Frankfurt office in 2015. His work included projects such as the KölnTurm repositioning, the Morrow office building revitalization, the development of the maincubes data center, and the construction of Samsung Electronics’ German headquarters in Eschborn Gate. Although leaving the management board, he will continue to advise the company.
“I look back with gratitude on a successful and intense time at Art-Invest Real Estate,” von der Brüggen said. “It has been a privilege to realize groundbreaking projects with an excellent team. I look forward to new perspectives while remaining connected to the company and its people.”
Art-Invest Real Estate’s leadership expressed appreciation for von der Brüggen’s contributions and welcomed Stöcklin to his new role. “We would like to thank Stephen von der Brüggen for his many years of cooperation and wish him all the best,” said Markus Wiedenmann, CEO, and Ferdinand Spies, COO. “At the same time, we are very pleased to welcome Roland Stöcklin, a highly experienced colleague, to the Frankfurt branch.”
