Ursula Fischer shares how her architecture background led her into real estate and explains GO Asset’s end-to-end model: sourcing land, aligning with client needs, managing planning, authorities, construction, and ultimately selling completed projects. She describes typical team structures leveraging a small internal staff and a long-standing partner network, outlines budgets from about €10–15 million up to €100 million, and timelines driven largely by permitting (often 12–18 months) versus construction (10–12 months). They discuss automation’s role, stricter Austrian regulations, expansion drivers in Slovakia and Slovenia (including the Port of Koper), energy constraints for data centers in Austria, and sustainability trends such as the rapid shift from gas to heat pumps and photovoltaics. Fischer also invites viewers to FIABCI’s World Congress in Vienna (June 8–12).00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:44 Why Real Estate03:12 GO Asset Model06:10 Team and Partners07:12 Client Process09:32 Budget and Timeline11:02 Automation and Workforce13:52 Permits and Authorities15:46 CEE Markets and Ports18:16 Data Centers and Energy19:22 Project Management Keys20:20 Sustainability in Logistics24:23 Vienna Market Trends26:45 FIABCI Congress Preview28:43 Wrap Up and InvitationYou can Ursula Fischer via:https://www.goasset.at/en-gb/about-ushttps://at.linkedin.com/in/ursula-fischer-03a5444a
