Owner representation for retail & hospitality
Hanse Lotse guides retail and hospitality projects from site selection to opening – or steps in precisely where projects have stalled, decisions are stuck or internal resources fall short.
15 years on the corporate side and more than 100 projects in 12 countries shape the way we work. We know the challenges of international expansion first-hand, grasp situations quickly and take on responsibility without a long ramp-up.
Whether a single project phase, a critical situation or additional capacity for growth: we create structure, control costs and bring projects back on course at the pace they demand.
Philosophy
Hanse stands for reliability, entrepreneurial thinking and vision.
The pilot provides direction, recognises risks early and keeps complex projects on course.
Hanse Lotse combines both: architectural understanding, commercial thinking and clear project leadership.
From the first location decision through planning and realisation to the opening.
Brands & Projects
For more than 15 years we have worked where brand, design, real estate and delivery meet – for international retail and hospitality companies, from the first site decision to opening day.
That experience lets us read new situations quickly, understand existing structures and take on responsibility without a long ramp-up.
The brands and projects below show where we have already carried that responsibility.
Years on the side of international brands
Projects, flagships and rollouts
Countries across Europe, the Middle East and the US
Approach
Many projects become difficult because interfaces remain unresolved. Hanse Lotse aligns the interests of the client, architects, specialist consultants, landlords and contractors – and leads the project with cost, schedule and quality in view.
Project journey
A project changes. The view of it does not.
With every phase, the questions, the people involved and the priorities change. What matters is that the connection holds.
We accompany this path with a continuous view of the whole. From the first decision to the moment a project becomes a place.
One journey. One responsibility.From the decision to opening day.

Why Hanse Lotse exists
Hakan Aydin is a graduate architect. More than fifteen years of international retail and hospitality projects have shown that good planning delivers its full value when brand requirements, commercial viability and implementation are brought together consistently.
Hanse Lotse was founded for precisely this purpose: to provide client-side project leadership between the client, planning teams, landlords, authorities and contractors.
The focus is on project leadership and management. Architectural services are coordinated on a project-specific basis or integrated through suitable partners.
Hanse stands for reliability, openness to the world and commercial responsibility. Lotse – pilot – stands for orientation in complex waters and leadership through to the destination.
Depending on the project, we work with the client’s existing partners or assemble a proven team.
Principle
A good project is recognised noton opening night,but in the quiet three months after.
