Erste Group Immorent AG

Wien

Der Erste Campus am Wiener Hauptbahnhof ist eines jener Projekte, die Erste Group Immorent über die Jahre mitgetragen hat. Dazu kommen Bürohäuser in Prag und Belgrad, Logistikparks in der Slowakei, Gewerbeflächen in Wien. Wer hier arbeitet, hat es mit Immobilien zu tun, die man tatsächlich besichtigen kann, und zugleich mit dem Geschäft einer großen Bank.

Vereinfacht gesagt finanziert das Unternehmen Immobilien für Firmen, Kommunen und Projektentwickler und übernimmt danach deren kaufmännische und technische Betreuung. Angefangen hat das 1970, als Immorent zu den Pionieren des Immobilienleasings in Österreich zählte. Über die Jahrzehnte wurde daraus ein Spezialist für gewerbliche Immobilien. Bürohäuser gehören dazu, Logistikparks, kommunale Bauten. Heute liegt der Schwerpunkt auf Asset Management, Technical Advisory und der Betreuung des bestehenden Bestands. Rund 125 Mitarbeitende im In- und Ausland verwalten ein Portfolio von über 660 Leasingobjekten allein in Österreich (Stand 2020).

Erste Group Immorent gehört zu hundert Prozent zur Erste Group Bank AG. Hinter dem Arbeitsplatz steht damit eine der größten Bankengruppen Zentral- und Osteuropas. Gearbeitet wird von Wien aus, vom Standort Am Belvedere im zehnten Bezirk. Die Objekte selbst liegen über halb Europa verteilt: der Silo Offices Park in Wien-Liesing, Sirius in Belgrad, das Enterprise Office Center in Prag, Laurus Offices in Budapest.

Wer hier arbeitet, bewegt sich zwischen Immobilienwirtschaft und Bankenwelt. In den Büros sitzen Asset Managerinnen und Bautechniker neben Kolleginnen aus Finanzierung und Recht. Die Aufgaben reichen von der technischen Prüfung einzelner Gebäude bis zur Steuerung ganzer Portfolios in mehreren Ländern. Die Gesellschaft firmiert heute als GmbH mit Sitz in Wien. Die zuletzt öffentlich genannte Mitarbeiterzahl stammt aus dem Jahr 2020; eine aktuellere Angabe veröffentlicht das Unternehmen nicht.
