From Vienna to London

We understand property and live for it

Being able to read and understand a property from the ground up, grasp its potential and dedicate it to people as the place where they live or work – this is the goal and vision of IMMOVATE.

As a successful location developer, we concentrate on stable property markets at home and abroad and have been realising ambitious property development projects as a strategic investor and developer for 18 years now. The range of our activities includes - alongside classical new-build developments – urban and building plot development as well as the conversion and refurbishment of buildings. A particular focus of ours are historical buildings in excellent city-centre locations.

We relish the competition in our sector. Unconditionally and confidently. Our work is based on fast and precise processes, short throughput times and an exactly functioning value-added chain. An essential factor is our ability to comprehensively service the entire value chain of a property project: from acquisition and planning via development and construction management to commercial management and marketing.

Together with our interdisciplinary team of civil engineers, commercial and legal specialists and marketing professionals, we ensure highly-efficient project execution all the way from acquisition to sale. In addition, we also have extensive expertise in complex work related to protected buildings and a sound knowledge of complex land use issues.

The investments are made by IMMOVATE itself as well as in partnerships (for example with well-known private trusts or foundations). Our goal is to achieve results which thrill our partners. Both at home and abroad.

All of our strategic activities are oriented towards the long term, are characterised by a sense of responsibility and are in accordance with the principles of economics and ecology.
