The foundation stone for the new multi-storey car park of the Cologne trade fair was laid at a ceremony on 8 September 2016. Over the coming sixteen months, Deutsche Industrie- und Parkhausbau GmbH will create parking space for approximately 3,200 vehicles on the site. The new car park building will blend in nicely with the urban development context between the inner-city motorway and the Zoo Bridge and will be easily identifiable by its prominent scales-like façade. IQ Real Estate has been commissioned to act as project manager.

The special purpose vehicle Schildergasse GmbH, represented by Bauwens Development GmbH & Co. KG is planning the construction of a new commercial building with a gross floor area (BGF) of approx. 3,366 m² on Schildergasse, right in the heart of Cologne. The project is being designed by the architecture firm msm and is to be completed by 2018. IQ was commissioned with the project management.

On 30 June 2016, the topping out ceremony was held at the commercial vehicle centre in Bornheim. The project concerns a van and lorry workshop with a double washing bay plus a sales yard for the “Young Stars”, the certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles, on a gross floor area of approx. 4,090 m².  The management contractor Goldbeck will build the centre for RKG by the end of 2016. IQ Real Estate has been commissioned to support this project with construction controlling, coordination between the management contractor and the specialist trade contractors as well as cost control and schedule management services.
