Real estate constitutes the foundation of SMK’s operations and expertise. Our journey began in 2006 with the establishment of the Bonne Apart Group by Simon Kikl and Doris Obermoser. Since the beginning, the team has been committed to brokering premium real estate across all asset classes. Our services extend from comprehensive portfolio evaluations to operational management, ensuring optimal performance and client satisfaction.

In 2020, Simon Kikl expanded his reach by opening an autonomous Bonne Apart office in Dubai, serving the interests of our growing clientele in the Middle EastThis international presence allows us to identify lucrative opportunities in dynamic markets while maintaining the same high standards of excellence.

Beyond real estate brokerage, property development is a cornerstone of our business. We take pride in conceptualizing, developing, and executing projects entirely in-house. This approach is made possible by our exclusive network of seasoned professionals, all leaders in their respective fields. In essence, we only collaborate with the very best to ensure that every project meets the highest benchmarks of quality and innovation. Since 2020, Bernhard Thanner has managed the operational business in Austria and Abdel Karim the office in Dubai. All other property commitments and developments are managed personally by Simon Kikl.
