CA Immo can look back on 21 years of experience on the market. However, the company’s gaze is firmly fixed on the future:

Investment Strategy
Since 1987, the Vienna-based property company has been steadily building its structures and its portfolio. CA Immo has proceeded demonstrating a keen awareness of market developments as well as the necessary entrepreneurial eye for the big chance. In 1999, for example, CA Immo led the way eastwards; two years later, the company embarked on project development in eastern Europe. Since then, the CA Immo portfolio has grown exponentially across eastern and southeastern Europe. The company has carried through a programme of restructuring to clarify the regional distinctions within the CA Immo Group, integrating the property portfolio for eastern Europe within CA Immo International. Expansion of the domestic and German property portfolio has taken place in parallel to international expansion.
Corporate History
Continual build-up of equity capitalisation 1987-2008
In the first half of 2008, the company responded to the market by reducing the pace of investment in favour of a careful, selective expansion strategy.
Rather than following short-term market trends, it remains committed to medium and long-term developments in the defined core regions. The CA Immo subsidiary Vivico, for example, owns a portfolio of high-quality inner-city properties in Germany, which is now to be developed in a sustainable manner as profitably as possible. At the same time, we are continuously monitoring the market for attractive investment opportunities within the framework of our core business.
Activities are to concentrate on the following areas:
- Closing of transactions that have already been signed
- Finalising financing packages to safeguard a watertight financial basis for all transactions
- Completion of the envisaged portfolio adjustments in Germany
- Conduct of intense negotiations to let space, on long-term leases if possible, in current and planned projects before completion
- Optimisation of portfolio structures and continuation of portfolio adjustments with a view to improving returns and increasing value added
The structure of the CA Immo Group provides the organisational framework for achieving these aims, with CA Immo as the holding company responsible for investments in western Europe, CA Immo International as the subsidiary managing the eastern portfolio and CA Immo New Europe focusing on opportunity-based (and higher-risk) project development initiatives.

- discerning and defining the needs and demands of investors
- providing information in excess of basic requirements, thereby generating transparency
- valuing openness and integrity, demonstrating these qualities on a daily basis
- most importantly of all, practising a long-term and value-oriented approach in our business dealings rather than speculating for the short term
Our ambitious plans have always been based on strict compliance with corporate governance guidelines, never losing sight of these guiding principles.
