The Heidelberg company FOM (Future Office Management GmbH) has existed since 1997. The company is led by its two Managing Directors Reinhard Walter and Stephan Hüssen who are also its owners.

FOM was initially founded as a project company for the construction of the trend-setting office building PartnerPort for SAP partner companies in Walldorf.

Following the successful completion of this building, FOM developed a series of sophisticated office buildings in quick succession, whereby the company was engaged as project developer, building contractor and general contractor on its own account:

- Microsoft head office, Unterschleißheim
- IT-Port, Unterschleißheim
- Office Port II, Heidelberg
- Bleich Strasse 1, Frankfurt am Main

Since 2002 FOM operates under a new structure and now mainly works as a general contractor for its own and third party projects. FOM has become a sought-after partner in the development and realisation of “sale and lease back“ transactions.

As a general contractor (or as an associate with partners in a general contractor company formed for a project), FOM coordinates and structures the commercial, legal, financial and tax-related interests of the companies involved in project development and realisation. With the practical experience gained in successfully completed projects, FOM is not only a structuring partner, but also ensures the consistent, successful realisation of building projects.

In the recent past, FOM realised projects with competent partners such as REAL I.S. AG in Munich and LEG Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart.

The completed projects include:

- T-Online headquarters in Darmstadt
- Telekom Center Munich

In 2004, FOM and LEG acquired the plot of land previously occupied by the Süddeutscher Verlag [newspaper publisher] in Munich’s city centre and will carry out project development on this excellent site up until 2008.

FOM and LEG were awarded the contract for building the new Süddeutscher Verlag headquarters in Munich-Haidhausen at the end of 2005.

In 2005, together with LEG Baden-Württemberg, FOM also acquired the “Orion Project” portfolio and erected office buildings at various sites in Bonn, Darmstadt and Münster for Deutsche Telekom AG.

The volumes of the projects supervised by FOM itself or with its partners surmounted the 500 mil. € barrier in 2005.
