Catella Modernes Wohnen fund acquires 121 residential units in Ottakring district of Vienna for EUR 39 million

The new development supplied renewable energy sources for the communal areas, comprises three residential buildings totalling 6,884 sqm, two located along Lorenz-Mandl-Gasse (east) as well as Wernhardtstraße (south) and the third set back from the street between the other wings. The modern and high-quality equipped affordable apartments are mainly divided into two three-room room units designed to appeal to students, singles and couples. There are also a number of office units and the complex features 230 bicycle spaces and 67 underground car parking spots.

Benjamin Rüther, Head of Fund Management CRIM, said: “Catella established a local team and opened its first office in Vienna in February, because of the strong deal pipeline we’ve been able to establish in the market. This latest acquisition in Vienna shows our business momentum is continuing, as the emphasis on sustainability and affordability in the Austrian residential rental market is well-matched to Catella’s investment philosophy and the mandate we have from our clients. The high sustainability credentials of the properties in Ottakring are very much in line with the types of investments we are seeking.”

Vienna’s 16th district of Ottakring has excellent rail, metro and tram connections to the rest of the city and plenty to offer residents in the immediate vicinity, including the famous Brunnenmarkt, the Austrian capital’s most extensive and exotic market for fresh produce. Ottakring is also a gateway to the Wilhelminenberg, a park serving as the entry point to the Vienna Woods.

The transaction was advised by PwC Legal Austria.
