SAUER
THE COMPANY
THE SAUER GROUP OF COMPANIES (”SAUER”) WAS
FOUNDED IN NUREMBERG ALREADY IN THE YEAR
1936. THE COMPANY SOON EXPANDED SUCCESSFULLY
IN GERMANY, MAINLY DUE TO THE EXPERTISE
OF MR. FRITZ SAUER, THE COMPANY'S FOUNDER.
THE MAIN ACTIVITIES IN GERMANY CONCENTRATED
ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES,
THE CONSTRUCTION OF SHOPPING CENTERS AND THE
OWNERSHIP OF OFFICE BUILDINGS.
THE COMPANY HAS
SOON OPENED FURTHER
OFFICES IN
FRANKFURT AND
MUNICH.
THE SAUER GROUP
OF COMPANIES WAS
LARGELY INVOLVED
IN THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF NUREMBERG’S
DOWNTOWN
AFTER WORLD WAR II.
IN 1967, MR. JÜRGEN SAUER TOOK OVER AS THE
OWNER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY.
HE TOOK THE COMPANY ABROAD BY STARTING
ACTIVITIES IN THE USA AND AUSTRIA.
SINCE 1970, BUSINESS HAS BEEN EXPANDING ALSO
IN SPAIN. THE FIRST PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED WAS
AN APARTHOTEL WITH 110 UNITS IN PUERTO DE LA
CRUZ, TENERIFE. DURING THE LATE 80S AND EARLY
90S, TWO MORE OFFICES WERE OPENED IN SPAIN,
ONE IN MARBELLA AND ANOTHER ONE ON MALLORCA.
SAUER HAS OFFICES IN FRANKFURT, COLOGNE,
MAINZ AND AUGSBURG.
TODAY, THE FIRM’S ACTIVITIES CAN BE DIVIDED AS
FOLLOWS:
IN GERMANY THE COMPANY FOCUSES ON THE SALE
AND RENT OF APARTMENTS AND THE RENT OF
OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IN THE MIDDLE
AND HIGH MARKET SEGMENT. IN MOST OF THE
CASES THE FIRM AQUIRES EXISTING BUILDINGS AND
RENOVATES THEM.
IN SPAIN, HOWEVER, ALL NEW PROJECTS ARE LOCATED
IN THE UPPER END OF THE MARKET. IT’S HERE
WHERE THE FIRM DOES ALSO INVEST INTO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF HOTELS, SHOPPING CENTERS AND
RESTAURANTS.
QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO THE DETAIL
THE TERM QUALITY HAS GREAT IMPORTANCE IN ALL
DEVELOPMENTS OF THE SAUER GROUP. THIS CAN BE
SEEN IMMEDIATELY UPON STEPPING INTO ONE OF THE
HOUSES OR APARTMENTS: THE DOMINANCE OF HIGHEST
STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO MATERIALS
USED. THIS, NO DOUBT, IS COSTLY BUT HOLDS
THE VALUE OF THE ACQUIRED PROPERTY OVER MANY
YEARS. IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT A LOT OF ATTENTION
HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THE DETAILS. IN THIS
SENSE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FLOORS, PERFECTLY
EQUIPPED KITCHENS AND WELL SELECTED BATHROOM
FITTINGS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE POINTS
THAT HIGHLIGHT THE PROPERTIES. ALL OF THIS SHALL
ENHANCE THE WELL BEING AND HAPPINESS OF THE
CUSTOMER.
AFTER SALES CLIENT SERVICE
FOR THE SAUER GROUP THE ”AFTER SALES CLIENT
SERVICE” IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE SALE ITSELF.
THE CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION IS OUR GREATEST
GOAL. THIS IS WHY FOR EACH PROJECT SAUER SETS
UP AN ”AFTER SALES CLIENT SERVICE” DEPARTMENT,
WHICH SHALL DO ALL OF THE CLIENT’S OFTEN SO
ANNOYING FORMALITIES LINKED TO A NEW PROPERTY.
THE SAUER GROUP OF COMPANIES
RECOGNIZED IN THE EARLY 70S
THAT SPAIN WOULD BECOME THE
NUMBER ONE TOURIST DESTINATION. NOT
ONLY THE SUPERB CLIMATE BUT ALSO THE
FRIENDLY INHABITANTS HAVE ATTRACTED
VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
DURING THE PAST DECADES.
THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR CENTRAL
EUROPEANS. NOWADAYS MANY TRAVELLERS
HAVE CHOSEN SPAIN AS THEIR RESIDENCE.
NOT ONLY SUN-HUNGRY INDIVIDUALS
BUT ALSO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
PEOPLE NOW OPERATE FROM HERE.
IN PREVIEW THE SAUER GROUP HAS FIRST
STARTED BUSINESS ON THE CANARY
ISLANDS AND LATER EXPANDED TO MARBELLA
AND MALLORCA IN ORDER TO CREATE
FIRST CLASS DEVELOPMENTS.
THEREFORE IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT
THE FIRM KEEPS ON PLANNING APARTMENTCOMPLEXES,
HOTELS, GOLF RESORTS,
SHOPPING CENTERS, VILLAS AND
RESTAURANTS.
KEMPINSKI RESORT HOTEL ESTEPONA
THE 5-STAR LUXURY ”KEMPINSKI RESORT HOTEL
ESTEPONA” OPENED ITS DOORS IN 1999. THIS PROJECT
WAS BUILT BY THE SAUER GROUP, TOGETHER
WITH ITS PARTNERS. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTRIBUTION
OF KEMPINSKI AS MANAGEMENT FIRM GUARANTEES
5-STAR SERVICE TO ALL GUESTS. THE HOTEL
IS LOCATED RIGHT ON THE BEACH, BETWEEN MARBELLA
AND ESTEPONA. TROPICAL GARDENS AND
THREE LARGE POOLS CREATE PURE RELAXATION.
AS PART OF THE COMPLEX OFFERS, BESIDES ITS 150
HOTEL ROOMS, 89 OUTSTANDING APARTMENTS. IN
THIS SENSE THE ”KEMPINSKI” PROVIDES THE COMFORT
AND SECURITY OF A PRIVATE HOME PERFECTLY
COMBINED WITH THE SERVICES AND FACILITIES OF A
5-STAR HOTEL.
IT WAS IN 1989 WHEN MR. J. SAUER ACQUIRED THE
FIRST LAND PLOTS FOR THIS PROJECT KNOWING THAT
ESTEPONA WOULD SOON BECOME A PLACE OF GREAT
INTEREST.
LOS PÁMPANOS DE SANTA PONSA
MALLORCA IS ALSO AN INTERESTING MARKET FOR
THE SAUER GROUP OF COMPANIES. IN 1995 THE FIRM
BUILT, IN JOINT VENTURE WITH THE HYPOBANK AND
THE BANCO DE CRÉDITO BALEAR, ”LOS PÁMPANOS
DE SANTA PONSA”. THE DESIGNING ARCHITECT WAS
MELVIN VILLARROEL.
THE PROJECT IS SITUATED ON THE PENINSULA OF
SANTA PONSA, LOCATED ON THE SOUTH-WEST OF
MALLORCA.
THE FIRST PHASE OF ”LOS PÁMPANOS”, CONSISTING
OF 57 LUXURY APARTMENTS. THE SIZE OF THE
APARTMENTS RANGE FROM 100 TO 400 M2. THE
LARGER PENTHOUSES OFFER THE LUXURY OF A PRIVATE
SWIMMING POOL. THE PROJECT HAS FAST
BECOME KNOWN AS ONE OF MALLORCA'S MOST
PRESTIGIOUS PROPERTIES.
BY PURCHASING AN APARTMENT IN THE ”LOS PÁMPANOS”
PROJECT THE BUYER WAS GIVEN A FAMILY
MEMBERSHIP IN GOLF COURSE SANTA PONSA I.
SPECIAL IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN TO THE CREATION
OF THE TROPICAL GARDENS.
LAGUNA VILLAGE
NEXT TO THE ”KEMPINSKI RESORT HOTEL ESTEPONA”
WILL BE THE ”LAGUNA VILLAGE” PROJECT. IT’S
SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN THE SUMMER OF 2003.
”LAGUNA VILLAGE” HAS ITS ROOTS IN THE ASIAN
CULTURE, WITH ITS TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO HARMONIZE
THE ARCHITECTURE INTO THE SURROUNDING
ENVIRONMENT. THIS COMBINATION OF TROPICAL
GARDENS AND WOODEN HOUSES IS TRANSMITTING A
WARM, WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE. THE WATER
PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE. IT DOES NOT ONLY
COOL THE TEMPERATURE, BUT IT RELIEVES THE
STRESS AND RELAXES THE MIND. THE TROPICAL
WORLD OF ”LAGUNA VILLAGE” WILL KEEP ITS DOORS
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, OFFERING A WIDE RANGE OF
SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, BARS AND BEACH CLUB.
THE SAUER GROUP WILL HEREBY SET NEW STANDARDS
IN THE SECTOR OF ADVENTURE SHOPPING ON
THE COSTA DEL SOL.
