GNIW, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Berlin, is Germany’s market leader in sale-and-leaseback solutions for single-family homes. Its innovative model enables homeowners to unlock property value while retaining lifelong residential rights, addressing long-term financial goals such as retirement security and care planning. The new agreement with Fortress significantly expands GNIW's funding base and lays the foundation for further structured growth. 

Hogan Lovells has advised GNIW comprehensively on all legal aspects of the transaction, including in particular the structuring and documentation of the forward flow arrangement, regulatory and real estate matters as well as tax-related issues.
