EBG Wohnen

What EBG Wohnen does

EBG Wohnen (legal name: Gemeinnützige Ein- und Mehrfamilienhäuser Baugenossenschaft reg. Gen. m. b. H.) is an Austrian non-profit housing cooperative founded on 5 March 1910, originally to house railway employees. Today the cooperative manages approximately 8,300 residential apartments and 13,800 total units (including garages, parking, and commercial premises) across nine Austrian federal states, with concentration in Vienna and Lower Austria. Headquartered at Josefstädter Straße 81-83 in Vienna's 8th district, EBG also operates branch offices in Gmünd (Waldviertel) and Hallein (Westösterreich) and is led by Obmann & Geschäftsführer Alexander Gluttig and deputy Carina Sternig.

EBG's core product is subsidized and non-subsidized rental housing, with rents ranging from approximately €300 to €2,000+ per month depending on property, location, and subsidy status. The cooperative also generates revenue from garage and parking rentals (€22–€135/month), commercial and office space rentals, and mandatory cooperative membership fees (€220 including joining fee). Distribution runs through a proprietary Wohnportal tenant portal, an EBG mobile app (iOS and Android), the ebg-wohnen.at website, physical branch offices, and the Vienna municipal housing allocation channel Wohnservice Wien (which receives every third vacant subsidized apartment).

The business model is regulatory-anchored: as a gemeinnützige Bauvereinigung under the Wohnungsgemeinnützigkeitsgesetz (WGG), EBG is legally required to reinvest profits into housing and maintain below-market rents, distinguishing it from for-profit landlords. EBG is an active co-developer on multiple new construction projects (Fünf Freunde, Dr. Franz-Pauer-Hof, OSER32, Nachbarschaftsbrücke, Hübscher Wohnen, Wohnoase Jedlersdorf) in partnership with WBV-GPA, Neue Heimat, Wohnbau Wien, and Place2Live/WOGEM, with its 'Wald, wir kommen!' project winning the Wiener Wohnbaupreis 2024. The organization employs approximately 57 full-time staff managing tenant services, housing allocation, accounting, technical operations, and project development.

1. Residential Rental Income: EBG generates the majority of its revenue from rental income on approximately 8,300 apartments across Austria, with rents ranging from approximately €300 to €2,000+ per month depending on property size, location, and subsidy status. Rental income is the primary recurring revenue stream.

3. Garage and Parking Rental: EBG rents out garage and parking spaces at various properties, with monthly fees ranging from approximately €22 to €135 depending on location and type.
4. Commercial and Office Space Rental: EBG also rents out commercial premises (Büros & Lokale) and business spaces, generating additional rental income from non-residential tenants.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wiener Wohnen: City of Vienna-owned municipal housing association — the largest landlord in Austria with ~220,000+ units. Overlaps EBG's affordable housing mandate but operates on a vastly larger scale and with direct municipal funding rather than cooperative member capital.

Direct peers

• Sozialbau AG: Vienna-based non-profit housing developer and manager operating under WGG. Similar tenant segments (subsidized and freifinanziert), comparable product mix (residential plus commercial/garage), and direct overlap in Vienna's competitive affordable housing market.
• Heim & Hof – Gemeinnützige Bau- und Wohnungsgenossenschaft: Vienna-based cooperative housing association operating under WGG with comparable portfolio size and tenant focus. Direct competitor for both subsidized allocations and developer competition wins in Vienna.
• Siedlung Gemeinnützige Wohnungsgesellschaft: Long-established Austrian non-profit housing association under the GBV umbrella. Directly comparable as a multi-state WGG cooperative providing subsidized and market-rate rental housing across Austria.
• WOGEM: Austrian housing development and management company and EBG co-development partner on the Hübscher Wohnen project in St. Pölten. Overlaps EBG on residential rental management and project development in Lower Austria and beyond.
• Gemeinnützige Wohn- und Siedlungsgenossenschaft Frieden (Wohnungseigentümer): Austrian non-profit housing cooperative with multi-state operations under WGG. Comparable legal form, tenant structure, and pipeline of subsidized residential developments across Austria.
• Neue Heimat: Austrian non-profit housing cooperative active in Vienna and other federal states, with similar cooperative governance, WGG status, and subsidized housing development pipeline. EBG and Neue Heimat are co-developers on the Fünf Freunde / An der Schanze project.
• WBV-GPA (Wiener Bauerrichtungs- und Wohnungsgenossenschaft): Vienna-based non-profit housing cooperative operating under the same WGG framework as EBG. Directly comparable in legal structure, target tenant base, and product offering; EBG and WBV-GPA are already co-development partners on the Quartier Bienvenue project.
• Wohnbau GmbH (Stadt Wien): City of Vienna-owned non-profit housing developer focused on subsidized new construction. EBG and Wohnbau Wien are co-developers on the Nachbarschaftsbrücke project at Schrödingerplatz and compete for the same Bauträgerwettbewerbe tenders.

Regional players

• Münchner Wohnen GmbH: City of Munich-owned housing association managing ~70,000+ units. Comparable model (municipal/non-profit affordable housing provider with portfolio of existing stock and new construction pipeline) but operating in Germany rather than Austria; useful benchmark for cross-border cooperative/municipal housing economics.
