EKAZENT Management GmbH

What EKAZENT Management GmbH does

EKAZENT Management GmbH is a Vienna-based commercial real estate management company that provides integrated services across asset management, centre management, and property sales/leasing for residential, hotel and retail assets. The company traces its brand heritage to 1961, when its predecessor built Austria's first shopping centre in Hietzing, and the current legal entity was established in 2017 after purchasing all Ekazent trademark rights, with subsequent integration into United Benefits Holding GmbH in 2020. EKAZENT operates a portfolio of approximately 84,440 m² of leasable retail space across nine shopping centres, including premium outlets Parndorf Fashion Outlet and Freeport Fashion Outlet, plus more than 100,000 m² under active asset management across all three asset classes, with operations spanning Austria and the Czech Republic.

The company's product surface combines three core service lines (Asset Management, Centre Management, and Leasing & Sales) with two digital platforms: the Immobiliensuche web-based property search engine (built on onoffice.de) and the EKAZENT Lessee App (powered by idwell.com) for tenant engagement. Distribution relies on enterprise field sales with named contacts for residential and commercial transactions, a self-serve online property search, and app-based tenant services. Technology differentiation is limited to moderate ease-of-use in the lessee app; there is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML or advanced analytics.

Revenue is generated through managed services fees (asset management and centre management mandates) and transaction-based commissions on residential and retail property sales, with an observed 3% commission plus 20% VAT on residential transactions priced between approximately €200,000 and €700,000. Service fees are not publicly disclosed and the company is privately held with no public revenue reporting. Customers are segmented into property investors and owners (primary), retail tenants in managed centres (primary), and residential buyers and renters (secondary). The company is part of the Kollitsch Invest Group and ultimately controlled by United Benefits Holding GmbH, with Franz Alexander Kollitsch, Norbert Pfundner and Michael Kuhn serving as Managing Directors.
