UBM: Real estate developer UBM is expecting negative EBT of an anticipated €39 million on the basis of the current figures for the 2023 financial year. This has been mainly caused by project and real estate revaluations totalling approx. €70 million during the past financial year, and also the continuing difficult situation on the transaction market. However, in the fourth quarter UBM succeeded in selling its 33.57% share of Palais Hansen to Wiener Städtische. At the same time, UBM invested in a 25% share of the project “Central Hub” in TwentyOne by Bondi Consult. “Despite all the current limitations, this shows our ability to act and safeguards our future for the time when the real estate crisis is over,” says Thomas G. Winkler, CEO of UBM Development AG.
