Life edit

Hallmann comes from a modest background in Vienna. Beginning at an early age, he started his business life working for various computer companies while still attending school. Finishing business college at the age of 17, he started his first business, importing and exporting computer components. Using the profits from this, he was able to make his first investment in real estate in 1996. One year later, he founded Hallmann Real Estate Company, which was the beginning of today's operation, Hallmann Holding International Investment Ltd. This company, of which Hallmann is the sole owner, is one of the largest private real estate development companies in Austria, owning a wide range of residential and commercial properties throughout the country.[5] In addition, Hallmann Holding is a major shareholder in a wide range of other companies operating in areas such as investment banking,[6] health research, film production and lifestyle. Since 2016 the Austrian magazin "trend" ranks Hallmann amongst the 100 wealthiest Austrians. In the following year Hallmann was among the top performers of the year and listed 12 positions higher.[7] In 2018 Archived 1 June 2019 at the Wayback Machine he was ranked at number 43, in 2019 number 39.

At the end of 2018, Hallmann Holding acquired 100% of the Viennese property developer SÜBA AG, which has been active in affordable residential construction for over 40 years. The core business of the fast-growing SÜBA AG comprises services in the areas of planning, construction and sale of condominiums in Vienna and the surrounding area.[8]

In 2010 Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer were nominated at the 82nd Academy Awards and the 67th Golden Globe Awards for their performance in the movie "The last station".[12] The movie and its contributors were nominated an additional 15 times and received a total of 3 awards. In 2011 the TV miniseries "Carlos"[13] was nominated 36 times and won 17 awards, amongst others at the 68th Golden Globe Award for "Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television". In 2014 the movie "Rush"[14] was awarded 6 times and nominated 57 times. One of the major nominations was for the 71st Golden Globe Awards in the category "Best Motion Picture – Drama". In total, the movies that were realized by these three production companies, as well as the contributing actors' performances, were nominated over 350 times and won more than 170 international awards in the past decades.[15]

Hallmann is also the founder and sole owner of the film and documentation production company Hallmann Entertainment Company GmbH.
