What K1 Group does

K1 Group is a family-owned Austrian real estate company founded in 1995 and headquartered at Alte Poststraße 156 in Graz. Operating through its parent K1 Management & Consulting GmbH and four wholly-owned subsidiaries (Techno Park Graz-West Liegenschaftsverwertung und Verwaltung GmbH, PVI Projektentwicklungs- und Verwertungsgesellschaft m.b.H., IMK Immobilien Management Konrad GmbH, and RS8 Projektentwicklung GmbH), the group covers the full real estate lifecycle: project development, rental and sales, and ongoing Hausverwaltung (property management) for both residential and commercial assets.

Its core asset base centers on the Techno Park Graz West, a 25,000+ m² commercial and business park in Graz Eggenberg that includes the K1 Tower (a 7-storey, klima:aktiv-certified office building and the group's headquarters) and the Eckertstraße cluster, which hosts anchor tenants such as FH Joanneum (~6,000 m²), AVL DiTEST, COMPAX, and government entities Land Steiermark and Stadt Graz. Residential projects include the award-nominated König Franz (41 units, 2021), the ECK7 rental building at Eckertstraße 7c (35 units, completed 2022), and ongoing developments such as Reininghausstraße 8. The portfolio integrates sustainability features such as geothermal heating/cooling, thermal building activation, photovoltaic installations (~500 m² across properties), rainwater reuse (~100,000 liters/year), water vital systems, and KNX smart home controls.

The revenue model combines one-time real estate development sales (e.g., König Franz unit sales), recurring rental income from residential and commercial leases (commercial at approximately €10/m²/month, residential from ~€499/month), and ongoing property management fees. Sales-led distribution is conducted directly via the company website (k1-group.at), on-site property showings, and direct phone/email contact, targeting individual buyers and renters, commercial tenants, educational institutions, and government clients within the Graz/Styria region. Successor leadership development is underway, with the founder's children Julia Konrad and Stefan Konrad being groomed for operational roles.
