Real Estate Development honoured for property management

Frankfurt, 9th October 2018. Der Platow Brief, a German online business newsletter, has bestowed the Platow Real Estate Award on Fiege. Der Platow Brief is an information service provided to businesses, capital markets and politics which has been awarding a property prize in the categories of Residential, Commercial Properties, Investments and Special Purpose Properties for the past six years.
