The story
CA Immo was founded in 1987 as part of Creditanstalt-Bankverein, an Austrian commercial bank and has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange [HC1] since 1988; since April 2007, CA Immo shares have been traded on the Prime Market.
With a stake of around 66% of the share capital, SOF-11 Klimt CAI S.à. r.l., Luxembourg, a company managed by Starwood Capital Group, is the Company's largest shareholder. The remaining approximately 34% of the shares are in free float or held by the company itself as treasury shares (as of July 2025).
In 2008, CA Immo acquired the German Vivico Real Estate GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, including all non-operational land and brownfield sites of Deutsche Bahn as well as the branches in Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt, as part of its expansion plans in Germany. Since 2008, CA Immo has been one of the most active office developers in Germany
At the beginning of 2011, CA Immo acquired the property subsidiary of the Österreichischen Volksbanken Gruppe (ÖVAG) and thereby significantly expanded its portfolio in Eastern Europe.
The company employs about 240 people in Austria, Germany and Eastern Europe (as of 31 December 2025).
A longstanding goal of CA Immo was to merge with or take over its fellow ATX member Immofinanz. Merger negotiations failed in 2014, as did a takeover bid by CA Immo in spring 2015. In August 2016, CA Immo's then core shareholder O1 Group, controlled by Russian real estate billionaire Boris Mints and his son Dmitry Mints, sold its 26% stake in CA Immo to Austrian real estate investor Immofinanz, whose goal was also to merge the two companies. After this plan failed, Immofinanz sold its stake in CA Immo to Starwood Group at the end of September 2018.
