VORUM Voitsberg: from a former power station to a regional shopping hub

Date: November 11, 2026

VORUM Voitsberg stands on the site of a former lignite-fired power station in Styria, Austria. Over three phases, the disused brownfield has been turned into the main shopping destination for the whole district.

The power station once stood between the towns of Voitsberg and Bärnbach. Three separate buildings with a combined 13,096 m² of lettable area have since gone up on the site, and together they now serve as the district's main place to shop. The ZDR Master Fund has owned the retail park since 2021 and added further phases over the years that followed.

Everyday shopping in one place

The park is home to 22 tenants. Alongside the BILLA Plus supermarket, shoppers will find TEDi, KiK, HERVIS, C&A, DEICHMANN, FUSSL, BIPA, NKD, FRESSNAPF and a dm drugstore. That mix covers most everyday needs, so people living in the area no longer have to drive to Graz, the Styrian capital, to do their shopping. The weighted average lease expiry (WALE) stands at 4.9 years.

Solar power and EV charging

The roofs of the retail park carry photovoltaic panels with a total installed capacity of 1,536 kWp. Four of the 111 parking spaces are equipped with charging points for electric vehicles.
