  • Focus of Raiffeisen evolution on the development of residential real estate in Austria

Vienna, 16 September 2016 STRABAG continues to strengthen its market position in the field of residential project development in Austria. Pending approval by the Supervisory Boards of

STRABAG SE and RZB, the company will increase its interest in Raiffeisen evolution, Vienna, from 20 % to 100 %.

"The demand for residential real estate in Austria - especially in Vienna and Graz - remains as high as ever. With the 100 % takeover of Raiffeisen evolution, we are further strengthening our successful activities in this very promising business field," says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE, explaining the strategic background of the transaction.

About Raiffeisen evolution

Raiffeisen evolution project development GmbH is one of Austria's leading project development companies. Founded in the year 2003, the company's ownership structure had previously been: Raiffeisen Zentralbank AG (40 %), UNIQA Insurance Group AG (20 %), Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien reg.Gen.m.b.H (20 %) and STRABAG AG, Austria (20 %). After focusing its activities on selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Raiffeisen evolution in recent years has begun concentrating increasingly on the Austrian market. For this reason, for example, STRABAG had taken over the Bucharest-based development team from Raiffeisen evolution in September 2015. Today the company has approximately 50 employees working primarily on project developments in the fields of residential and commercial construction.
