Hypo Real Estate Group was formed by HypoVereinsbank’s demerging of its commercial real estate financing activities. This involved spinning off German as well as international units, all of which were then incorporated in Hypo Real Estate Group and provided with a new corporate strategy. Hypo Real Estate Group today operates in complete independence from HypoVereinsbank, possessing a transparent corporate structure with clearly assigned responsibilities.
Hypo Real Estate Group is led by Hypo Real Estate Holding AG, a public company with headquarters in Munich, Germany, which is responsible for strategic guidance and acts as a gateway to equity markets.
The subsidiaries grouped below the holding's umbrella are legally and operatively separate from each other.The business goals they pursue, however, are coordinated inside the Group. Hypo Real Estate Bank International, for its part, has charge of the Group's entire international business, while Hypo Real Estate Bank concentrates on business in Germany, and Hypo Public Finance Bank deals with the business areas of public finance and capital markets.

Die Hypo Real Estate Group ist durch die Abspaltung der gewerblichen Immobilienfinanzierungsaktivitäten der HypoVereinsbank entstanden. Bei diesem Schritt wurden sowohl die deutschen Hypothekenbankbeteiligungen als auch die internationalen Immobilienfinanzierungsaktivitäten der HypoVereinsbank an die Hypo Real Estate Group übertragen und strategisch neu ausgerichtet. Die Hypo Real Estate Group operiert völlig unabhängig von der HVB Group. Sie hat eine transparente Unternehmensstruktur mit klaren Zuständigkeiten. 
An der Spitze der Hypo Real Estate Group steht die börsennotierte Hypo Real Estate Holding AG mit Sitz in München. 
Die unter der Holding angesiedelten Gesellschaften sind rechtlich und operational voneinander getrennt, verfolgen aber innerhalb der Gruppe aufeinander abgestimmte Unternehmensziele. Die Hypo Real Estate Bank International bündelt das komplette Auslandsgeschäft der Gruppe, die Hypo Real Estate Bank konzentriert sich auf das Deutschlandgeschäft und die Hypo Public Finance Bank betreibt die Geschäftsbereiche öffentliche Finanzierungen und Capital Markets
