of Trust

Over 50 years of trust

More than 10,000 realized apartments

180 employees at six locations

Real estate development with passion

Trust is our most important asset. ZIMA has consistently earned this trust over the past 50 years: with our customers through quality and reliability, with our employees through collegiality and appreciation, and with our partners through transparency and dependability. As an owner-managed group of companies, ZIMA has been developing distinctive real estate in the German-speaking Alpine region since 1971. In the past 50 years, we have realized nearly 10,000 apartments and space for 7,000 jobs. In doing so, we have primarily created a foundation of trust at all levels. We build on trust.

in the Alps

Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Vienna, Bolzano, St. Gallen and Munich.
Wherever you can see the Alps and speak our language, we are at home. Special buildings for living, working and shopping are created there. We act as a holistic real estate developer from investment to operation. Our employees at the individual locations have strong regional roots. With this approach to real estate development, we have established ourselves as the leading private provider in the German-speaking Alpine region in recent years.
