Logistics property specialist Garbe Industrial Real Estate has announced the opening of a branch in Vienna as it looks to expand its activities to Austria.
Garbe, which now operates 16 branch offices across Europe, has hired 39-year old manager Barbara Hrubesch as managing director in the country.
Bringing around twelve years of professional experience to the job, she will continue the expansion of the company’s investment and project development business. In her most recent position, Barbara Hrubesch, who is a chartered engineer, was responsible for acquisitions and property developments at Signa REM Transaction GmbH.
'Having a dedicated branch in Vienna means we are now on the ground in another neighboring country, and will be able to expand our activities in this important European core market with the help of Barbara Hrubesch. Her network is an asset to us, as is her extensive knowledge of locations, which will enable us to identify investment opportunities early on,’ said Jan Dietrich Hempel, managing director of Garbe.
