CA Immo or CA Immobilien Anlagen is an Austrian facility management and property development company specialising in letting city office facilities.[1][2] It operates in Central Europe. The company is based in Vienna with offices in Germany (Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich), and the respective capitals of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania.[3] As of October 2015, it is a member of the Austrian Traded Index (ATX), the index of the twenty largest companies traded on the Viennese stock exchange.[4]

The company was founded as part of the Creditanstalt-Bankverein, an Austrian commercial bank with close connections to the Austrian People’s Party; Immo is short for Immobilien, German for property. It is involved with a number of large and notable buildings, including Tower 185, the Skyline Plaza complex in Frankfurt and the Europacity complex in Berlin.[5][6] As of 2015, its largest shareholder was O1 Group, controlled by Russian property development billionaire Boris Mints and his son Dmitry.[7][8][9] It formerly owned a large logistics centre used by H&M, which it sold in September 2015, and a 50% stake in a business park near Warsaw airport.[10][11][12]

A longstanding goal of CA Immo has been to merge with or take over its fellow ATX member Immofinanz. Merger negotiations failed in 2014, as did an acrimonious takeover bid by CA Immo in spring 2015.[13][14][15][16] It has since expressed interest in resuming negotiations.[17][18]
