How “Mörtel” built his Lugner empire

Over the decades, building tycoon Richard Lugner created an empire. His career took him through several stages until he began to realize his pet project, Lugner City, in the 1980s. This is set to flourish even without mortar under new management appointed by him.

Coming from a humble background, Richard Lugner quickly entered the construction industry after graduating from high school with a degree in structural engineering. After graduating from high school and completing his training, he worked for a Viennese construction company and then moved to the construction department of the Mobil Oil mineral oil company.
