MANAGEMENT
The founders of the business, John Amram und Dr. Ilja Gop, have worked in the property industry for over 20 years, advising private and institutional investors as well as “family offices” and assisting them with their property investments.
Through our respective businesses, auxenia RE and HPBA, we successfully formulate long-term development objectives and strategies and plan and steer sales, acquisitions and transactions and sustainably increasing value for our clients.
TRENDCITY was established to service our clients’ numerous requests for the same level of professional service and competence in relation to the letting and sale of apartments in Berlin. As a result of our investment activities, TRENDCITY is able to offer its apartments on an exclusive basis.
