DI Dr. Kurt Fallast, Managing Director | PLANUM Fallast & Partner GmbH

For DI Dr. Kurt Fallast, one thing is certain: The demands on the real estate industry are undergoing fundamental change. There is a demand for professionals who understand economic, technical, and legal contexts and who integrate sustainability as a natural component of modern real estate development. PLANUM is an engineering firm with offices in Graz, Klagenfurt, and Vienna that supports projects in the fields of spatial planning, mobility, and the environment.

In his view, the Sustainable Real Estate Management program provides exactly the skills the industry needs today. In particular, the combination of scientific fundamentals with practical applications prepares students for the complex demands of modern real estate and infrastructure projects.

His conclusion: 

“The program perfectly combines foundational scientific knowledge with practical application and fosters an awareness among students of how economic interests in real estate management can be balanced with a strong emphasis on sustainability.”
