The retail space of approximately 604 sqm at Mariahilfer Straße 19–21 in Vienna, previously occupied by INTERIO, has found a new tenant. The lease to BUTLERS was facilitated through a co-exclusive brokerage by EHL Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH and COMFORT Austria GmbH. Following the handover of the space in July of this year, the new BUTLERS location opened on 1st August 2026.
The new letting enabled a seamless transition for the owner without any vacancy, ensuring long-term subsequent use in one of Austria's highest-turnover retail locations. BUTLERS is known for its range of home accessories, decorative items, furniture, and gifts, and will now bring its home & living concept to the site.
Significance for Mariahilfer Straße
The establishment of BUTLERS underscores Mariahilfer Straße's continued relevance as a preferred location for established retail concepts. This location is characterised by high visibility and footfall, which is important for retailers. Mario Schwaiger, Head of Retail at EHL Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH, expressed satisfaction with the successful completion of this co-exclusive brokerage and the establishment of a strong retail concept at this central point. He emphasised the professional and cooperative collaboration of all parties involved.
Michael Oberweger, Managing Partner at COMFORT Austria GmbH, highlighted that there continues to be demand for prominent locations on Mariahilfer Straße for strong brands and innovative retail concepts. He noted that professional marketing, sound market knowledge, and close cooperation among all stakeholders were decisive factors for the seamless re-letting. The successful transaction reflects the attractiveness of the location and the ability of the brokerage firms to find suitable tenants for premium spaces.
This letting fits into the current picture of Vienna's retail market, where high-quality spaces in prime locations continue to experience strong demand. Mariahilfer Straße thus continues to establish itself as one of the central shopping destinations in the Austrian capital.
