Vienna celebrates: New builder model secures 41 apartments by 2027!

Today, September 18, 2025, IFA AG is celebrating a special milestone: the five hundredth builder model will be presented in Vienna with the innovative “Builder Model Plus” concept. This model offers investors the opportunity to invest directly in subsidized housing at Kopalgasse 11, 1110 Vienna. With the first builder model with apartment allocation in Vienna, after 13 successful projects in Styria, a new chapter is opened in the Viennese real estate landscape.

A total of 41 affordable rental apartments will be built in Vienna-Simmering near the U3 stations Enkplatz and Zippererstraße by autumn 2027. With this model, investors have the opportunity to invest in a selected apartment. Your personal share is registered in the land register, creating a clear legal position.

Financial aspects and conditions of participation

When participating in the builder's model N°500, you can choose to start at 31,319 euros per year, payable over a period of three years. With a planned return of around 6.2% per year after the end of the funding phase, this model is particularly attractive for investors who are looking for stable income. At the same time, another model (N°501) was launched, in which participation takes place via a limited partnership. Here, entry starts at just 14,960 euros per year.

IFA AG, which has managed around 4.1 billion euros for over 8,000 investors since 1978, presents an all-round package for real estate investments. This includes conception, construction, leasing and asset management, which means investors can benefit from professional management.

Advantages of the builder model

Particularly noteworthy are the advantages of the builder model compared to classic investor apartments. Investors join together to form a building community to purchase land or existing properties for subsidized housing. These are rented at capped subsidized rents, which ensures a predictable income situation. After the funding phase, investors have the option of either renting out the apartments at regular prices or selling them.

Tax benefits are also an arguable point. For example, there is an input tax deduction on construction and additional costs and the option to write off many expenses immediately. For investors with a high level of tax progression, the builder model offers a clever alternative form of investment that differs significantly from classic retirement apartments. While the price of a retirement apartment in Vienna is between 190,000 and 250,000 euros, shares in builder models are much cheaper, often starting at around 31,319 euros.

Conclusion and outlook

The builder model combines the substance of a property with attractive tax and funding advantages. It enables broader risk diversification, manageable administrative costs and long-term tenant security. If you are interested in one of the builder's models, it is worth carefully examining the conditions and options. The model particularly appeals to high-earning individuals and sustainability-oriented investors who want to invest in energy-efficient living space.
