Entrepreneurialism,
courage and milestones.
ABG was founded in Munich in 1967 with the objective of developing large commercial and residential properties across Germany. In a history stretching back over half a century the company has brought countless building projects to life. ABG has revitalised whole districts, inspired people and achieved milestones.
After an almost 10-year absence, the company establishes a new office in Frankfurt am Main. In future, this office will play a pivotal role in the operational business.
Further joint ventures follow (for example, with the Bayrische Landesbank and DePfa) with the development of landmark projects such as the Millerntor in Hamburg.
