Values

6B47 Real Estate Investors AG and all its subsidiaries follow three clear guiding principles

These values are actively embraced and ensure that each and every development project benefits society just as much as it does the company’s partners and clients. By developing neighbourhoods, homes, commercial and trade properties as well as with added value for our climate and society, 6B47 is creating products that will remain in demand over the long term, enabling its investors and shareholders to generate steady returns.

Entrepreneurial thinking and charting new courses

A transparent and professional approach informed by ESG

Working with all stakeholders in a spirit of partnership

Project development needs genuine values, not just assets

6B47’s guiding principles are founded on the firm belief that a property only really has any intrinsic value if and when it enriches the lives of the people who live or work in it. This is not only achieved by delivering an exceptional user experience but also by minimising the negative impact on the environment in order to keep these spaces worth living in over the long term.

This is why 6B47 is concentrating its development efforts squarely on mixed-use neighbourhoods that are becoming a focal point for urban living and mobility hubs for both locals and tourists at the same time.

Accordingly, our properties are in line with the ideal of “compact cities”, where existing routes cutting across the cityscape are replaced by a single intelligent thoroughfare. The development projects masterminded by 6B47 Real Estate Investors AG also add significant value to urban infrastructure by attracting cutting-edge retail and hospitality concepts around the base of the properties and creating spaces where people can come together and meet.

Only sustainable projects retain their value

6B47’s projects follow this philosophy and enhance it by adding conversions into the mix: the less of the existing structure that has to be carted away and the more of it that can be reused, the less environmental damage, pollution and noise will be caused for residents and the entire local project area. This approach endows our projects with lasting value, something that we also ask independent third parties to confirm by undergoing a building certification process.

Housing – a rare commodity?

Creative, solution-oriented concepts and ideas are called for in order to open up living space in a city-centre property to a broader client base. A different form of property development is required here, one that finds solutions to the ever-increasing price of housing in major cities by repurposing and re-imagining existing structures. Retroactive densification, if done in moderation, is one option – e.g. by adding storeys or extra space on top of existing buildings.

Smart property development results in contemporary living concepts

A development project cannot be allowed to create sterile, elongated “bunkers” for people to live in. It has to find an effective way to harness its existing urban surroundings and combine a proportionate degree of subsequent densification and a high-quality open-space concept with solutions for “new” urban living.

Property development projects should meet all manner of different requirements for modern living concepts (such as work-related mobility) in terms of their fitout, architecture and utilization options.

In concrete terms, for example: someone who is away from home from Monday to Friday for work is unlikely to need a massive high-end kitchen in a one-bedroom apartment. In this case, infrastructure that included a range of shops and leisure facilities, or perhaps even a small balcony, might be particularly important. In an ideal scenario, the project developer will also benefit financially from offering users precisely these options. This is where a property developer needs to demonstrate creativity and expertise in order to craft contemporary spaces for users to live in that are adapted to their needs and will prove their worth over the long term thanks to their flexible design.

Where social engagement meets support of the arts

6B47 is also involved in a number of social projects. Due especially to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, one of its main focus areas at present is providing refugees with apartments to serve as temporary accommodation. In the final instance, 6B47 believes that having a safe place to live is a basic human right.

Besides this tangible emergency aid measure and other sponsorship arrangements, we also set great store by providing a space for the art wherever possible, Such as in the form of temporary exhibitions within our development projects. For instance, we have already collaborated on several occasions with the Viennese artist Martin Grandits, including with a pop-up studio in the “Althan Quarter” in 2021.

6B47 supports the following initiatives

Get a hearing

6B47 commissions “Jugend am Werk” (“Young People at Work”) to carry out various manual tasks such as putting together or packaging free gifts for trade fairs.

TU Wien and Stanford University

6B47 has partnered with TU Wien and Stanford University for the Real Estate Innovation Challenge. Education and research have to be supported and funded if people are to keep on coming up with innovative projects. This was why 6B47 joined forces with TU Wien and Stanford University in the Real Estate Innovation Challenge in order to study innovations in the property industry. In 2023, the three partners are working on a project entitled “ESG in practice – what are the important KPIs for tenants and shareholders?” 6B47 has already taken part in a number of workshops and made some of its properties available to the students from the US and Austria to aid their research.

Strategy and objectives

6B47 is a smart, agile property company that creates lasting value for itself and its stakeholders by developing and investing in real estate. We specialise in developing state-of-the-art residential properties and mixed-use neighbourhoods and in urban development projects that help regenerate local communities. Property conversions that extend the lifespan of existing city-centre buildings are also a growing focus of our development portfolio. Combined with the attention we pay to sustainable property development, 6B47 is thereby creating properties that will remain marketable and fit for the future over the long term. Our network of subsidiaries in Austria, Germany and Poland enables us to work very closely with local markets and spot opportunities at an early stage.
