Czech real estate investment firm ZDR Investments has expanded its activities in Austria through the purchase of two retail properties with a combined value of approximately CZK 1.7 billion. The assets were acquired from Austrian developer Rutter Immobilien and further strengthen the company’s presence in the country’s retail property market.
One of the acquisitions involves a newly developed shopping centre currently under construction in the city of Linz. The project is scheduled for completion in 2027, when it will be transferred to the investor. The retail complex is planned to include 18 commercial units and is expected to open with full occupancy. Among the tenants are expected to be major grocery chains as well as retailers and food outlets serving the surrounding residential area.
The second property is a retail park located in Amstetten in Lower Austria. The centre offers more than 5,000 square metres of space and underwent refurbishment in 2020. It currently hosts a range of tenants including furniture and footwear retailers.
The transaction continues the cooperation between ZDR Investments and Rutter Immobilien, which has been involved in the development of several retail projects in Austria. The Czech investor has been gradually expanding its portfolio in the country in recent years, focusing mainly on retail properties anchored by everyday consumer brands.
ZDR Investments manages a portfolio of commercial real estate through several investment funds and operates across multiple European markets. With this latest acquisition, the company’s portfolio now includes nearly 80 properties located in six countries, reflecting its strategy of expanding its presence in the Central European retail property sector.
