who we are

Faber Frères & Cie is specializing in residential real estate development

Luxembourg-based Faber Frères & Cie was founded by Gabriel and Tobias in 2020, specializing in small- and medium-sized residential real estate development. We focus on value-added investments and developments in prime locations throughout Luxembourg. 

Our expertise stems from the two brothers, who have been involved since a very early age in the family’s development projects, and later advising and supervising other investors’ real estate projects in Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, France and the US. As such we have gained experience in single-family and multi-family home development as well as adaptive re-use of industrial buildings and historical renovations. 

Our current development portfolio focuses on Luxembourg while in parallel actively assisting clients with investments in other select metro areas around the EU, California (Los Angeles) and Florida (Miami, Naples). 

Faber Frères & Cie is specializing in residential real estate development

We believe that Luxembourg’s real estate market will continue expanding over years to come due to strong fundamentals. As such we aim to acquire strategic investments allowing our clients to acquire a fabulous property either as own residence or as investment. 

Faber Frères generally invests on its own account, but is open to partnerships with individual clients  for long-term investment holds to enjoy above-market cash yields from its investment strategy. 

Faber Frères is committed to always procure quality, design and homes with the latest safety and ecological standards available.

Our mission

Since an early age we were exposed to the real estate dynamic in Luxembourg. Throughout our teenage years,  we helped our parents with their real estate investments,  have seen the market shift massively. Not only did we observe and feel the consequence of the hot market in terms of surging land prices but also the transition from ever-lasting homes to copy paste properties, where developers aim to maximize their returns in response to home owners wanting everything right now for the littlest cost possible.

We have followed the shift of government policies with regards to construction permits, the new legal environment and the new standards from homeowners, the tenants and the community in general. 

Faber Freres was therefore incorporated to counteract the conformism that has become the status quo in Luxembourg, and the new legal environment and new standards by offering our clients only homes with long-lasting and high-quality materials and with an aim not to ever copy our previous concepts, but rather each property will be unique.

With new and future ecological as well as financial challenges, we are not willing to forfeit our clients’ dreams for a wonderful home in favor of market-standard profit margins. 

We chose to work with equally-minded construction companies and contractors, allowing us a stream-lined control process during every step of the way.

Environmentally conscious constructions can very well be implemented in style and quality, without sanctioning the overall budget. We therefore combine aesthetics with ecological craftsmanship by developing our various projects with state-of-the-art know-how and  contractors.

As a young company, we are always personally in touch with our clients and take the necessary time to listen to their requests, suggestions and criticism.
