The full-service provider for successful real estate development

Can places be better…?

We ask this question almost daily!

As internationally experienced project developers, we offer innovative and holistic solutions combined with a hands-on mentality and in-depth expertise in residential, office, hotel and industrial construction.

For us, ownership is not just a status in the land register, but is actively practiced by us on a daily basis.

Our comprehensive activities range from land acquisition, project development and  construction to completion, commissioning and utilization.

As a Full-Service-Provider, we are capable to ask the right questions, to set the right priorities and efficiently implement them at the right stage.

From Idea to Reality

As fee developers, we pursue an ‘All-In Strategy’ – we take a fully integrative approach to projects. Together with our clients, we work out the critical issues, which we then develop further and ultimately implement.

We are happy to invest time and money

We are also prepared to take risks. In many of our own projects, we have already been able to prove that taking on core tasks makes the difference, especially in central ownership tasks such as land acquisition and project development.

This allows us to take a holistic approach to the project and make it as efficient as possible. We know that the utimate ten percent of optimization usually make the difference.

We rely on our extensive network in Central and Eastern Europe

Our local expertise covers Austria, Hungary, Germany, and the CEE region.

Our tightly-knit network of long-standing, highly professional business partners helps us complete projects to the highest standards and within the shortest possible timeframe.

Mobility is his motto and trademark. At the age of 23, after completing his business administration studies, he was seized by wanderlust and went abroad. He stayed there for 11 years, working in many different countries. Heavy industry was a constant companion throughout his life. After stops in the USA, France, Germany and Greece, the Middle East was finally on the agenda. A steelworks was built there and since then, building construction and real estate have been his new passion. He returned to Austria in 2014 and now works in the real estate sector, focusing on refurbishment, hotels and industry.
