Wilhelm Fetscherplatz, Managing Director of RE/MAX DCI with three real estate offices in Vienna and offices in Tulln, Stockerau and Korneuburg-Mödling, locates a trend among developers in Vienna: "They buy more and more old buildings, take it off and construct new buildings.

"The supply of office space has not really increased from 2013 to 2014, with the exceptions Central Station, Silo and DC Tower," said Anton Putz, commercial real estate expert at RE/MAX Solutions in Vienna. For 2015, insignificant changes in offers and prices for commercial real estate are expected. Properties in secondary locations it may face price reductions, while good areas are -so be with good access to public transport and modern equipment- more interesting for tenants. "A question will be whether the new central station can generate a boom for new office space in the area," said Putz.

The duration of letting for commercial real estate has increased; but here it should be noted that the potential users of operating real estate valued at 1.5 to 2 million euros prefere buying these rather than renting. Putz expects increasingly investments in this sector for 2015, due to the high demand which can be located now.
