One of the largest property owners in Austria.
With more than 2,000 properties, the BIG Group is one of the largest real estate owners in
Austria. The portfolio consists of around 7.8 million square metres of lettable area with a fair
value of around EUR 19.3 billion. BIG’s real estate portfolio breaks down into schools,
universities and special properties. Office and residential properties are grouped together in
the subsidiary ARE (Austrian Real Estate GmbH). ARE’s portfolio comprises 590 properties
with around 1.9 million square metres of lettable area. While BIG primarily manages and
develops properties for public institutions, ARE’s offering is also increasingly targeted at nonpublic tenants. In addition to the development of individual properties, ARE has also
established itself in recent years as an expert in fully integrated urban development.
