History

The company was founded as part of the Creditanstalt-Bankverein, an Austrian commercial bank with close connections to the Austrian People's Party; Immo is short for Immobilien, German for property. In 2008, CA Immo took over Vivico Real Estate, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Bahn (German railways), including all non-operating plots and Brown fields of German Railways and local offices in Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt. Since 2008, CA Immo is one of the most active Office developers in Germany.[11]

A longstanding goal of CA Immo has been to merge with or take over its fellow ATX member Immofinanz. Merger negotiations failed in 2014, as did an takeover bid by CA Immo in spring 2015.[12][13][14][15] In August 2016, CA Immo´s core shareholder O1 Group, controlled by Russian property development billionaire Boris Mints and his son Dmitry,[16] sold its 26% stake in CA Immo to Immofinanz, an Austrian property investor, targeting a merger of the two companies.[17][18][19]
