Your guide to real estate development in Austria

Your guide to real estate development in Austria

Are you looking to develop a real estate project in Austria? We have created the Real Estate Road Map Austria as a compact guide to help you navigate the legal jungle—from project conception to realisation.

In this guide, we not only highlight the relevant questions of law that may arise in the course of a real estate project, but also their legal implications. After all, every project involves a number of different areas of law, such as:  

  • Construction contract law
  • Real estate law
  • Public construction law
  • Tax law 
  • State aid law 

One-stop shop for legal advice on real estate

Investors, developers, contractors, planners, builders, and owners—the complex regulatory framework poses challenges for all stakeholders in the real estate industry. In addition, numerous legal requirements must be taken into account over the life cycle of a project. 
 
Our experienced experts are available to advise you throughout the life cycle of your real estate project, covering all legal aspects of your project with their teams. Do you need support outside Austria as well? For transnational projects, we can also draw on an international network of outstanding experts.

ESG matters in the real estate industry

Sustainability and environmental factors are having an ever greater impact on real estate projects. The European Green Deal and the European Commission’s Fit for 55 package of concrete measures include numerous aspects that are relevant for real estate projects: 

  • Energy-efficient building & living 
  • Increased use of renewable energy 
  • Provision of EV charging infrastructure 
  • Recycling 
  • Reduced soil sealing through the re-use of existing infrastructure  

Our checklist: A guideline for your real estate project

In the Real Estate Road Map Austria, we not only give an overview of the applicable legislation, but also provide you with a checklist. Our aim is to ensure legal certainty as we guide you through your project by highlighting issues that need to be considered in the course of project implementation.  

Every real estate project is different

Our customised legal advice covers aspects such as analysing project documentation, identifying potential risks, support in contract negotiations, and representation before the competent authorities.

We will provide you with comprehensive advice on the acquisition of specific projects or entire real estate portfolios. We can support you during the individual phases of project development and realisation. In addition, we will be happy to be your expert partner for the subsequent sale or management of your real estate project, and will also help you optimise your tax burden at each of these stages.
