In the past twenty years Donau-Finanz has increasingly engaged in real estate. Coming from the retail end of the business, Donau-Finanz staff has developed understanding for the need to look at the investment from a very long term and sustainable perspective. Retail property like for instance shopping malls, but also hotels and leisure projects where Donau-Finanz also has specific experience, teach you to understand the necessity of continued fostering and care taking of the asset. Donau-Finanz has developed, managed and restructured a number of shopping malls and leisure real estate and has created operational instruments for shopping mall management and asset management of such sensitive objects.

This very specific expertise and the operational infrastructure have enabled Donau-Finanz to embark rapidly on the development of other real estate projects in the office and residential end of the business. If you know how important it is to consider the long term effect of operational aspects when designing a building as you have learned that from running a hotel or a shopping mall - you can easily transfer these experiences to offices and apartments.

Next to real estate Donau-Finanz continues to be active in cross boarder M & A and investment banking activities. Assignments for supporting acquisitions and green-field industrial projects are taken primarily in countries where Donau-Finanz has established partnerships and networks.
