Each Syndikat project is owned by its own Haus-GmbH (€25,000 share capital), with the Syndikat holding a veto share that prevents resale into the speculative market. The Haus-GmbH is the borrower entity that raises Direktkredite (subordinated private loans) which banks accept as an equity substitute.

This is the legal form behind the dominant grassroots equity-substitute channel — relevant when a childless collective (excluded from Familienwohnen) needs a path that does not depend on a household gate.

Open question (not a fact): NL/FR/DK equivalents of this structure are named in research but unverified — do not assert them.
