Familienwohnbau

What Familienwohnbau does

Familienwohnbau gemeinnützige Bau- und Siedlungsgesellschaft m.b.H. is a Vienna-based non-profit housing association founded in 1954 with capital from the Erzdiözese (Archdiocesan Fund for Family Assistance). The organization develops, owns, and operates residential and commercial real estate across Vienna, Lower Austria, and Upper Austria, operating under Austrian non-profit housing law (Gemeinnützige Bauvereinigung) with regulatory supervision from MA 50-G of the Vienna state government. The active portfolio comprises new construction apartments (sale and rental), used apartment resales, student housing, commercial spaces, and parking units, with families as the primary target persona and commuter, student, and property-investor segments as secondary audiences.

The company's product line is built around direct-to-consumer, provisionsfrei (commission-free) distribution via its own website, with in-house property advisors assigned by contact channel (e.g., sales, rentals, student housing, commercial). Projects incorporate sustainable building technologies including Passivhaus construction (the first Passivhaus was completed in timber construction in 2004), geothermal heating with deep boreholes, ceiling heating and cooling, photovoltaic systems, and pollen-filtered ventilation with up to 99% pollen removal. Notable active projects include Beverly Hietzing (40 units, 1130 Vienna), Simmeringer Hauptstraße (52 units, 1110 Vienna), Linzer Straße (7 units, 1140 Vienna), Schleusenstraße (5 units, 1140 Vienna), Schultheßgasse (19 units, 1170 Vienna), Lanzendorf (36 free-financed apartments, Lower Austria), and Studentenwohnheim Steyr (87 rooms, Upper Austria).

Revenue is generated through one-time apartment sales (€224,000 to €1,299,000 per unit), recurring rental income on residential and commercial properties (€389.35 to €2,786.14/month residential; commercial from €389.35/month to €3,350,000 purchase option), student housing subscriptions at €452-€474/month all-inclusive, and parking (€60/month rental or €15,000-€26,000 purchase). Access to subsidized rental pipelines is secured through wohnfonds_wien developer competitions. Membership in the Österreichischer Verband Gemeinnütziger Bauvereinigungen – Revisionsverband imposes mandatory audit and corporate governance requirements, reinforcing the regulatory structure that governs pricing, capital allocation, and reinvestment of surpluses back into housing development.
