Signa Holding GmbH (officially written as SIGNA) is Austria’s largest privately owned real estate company. Signa was founded in 1999 by the Tyrolean entrepreneur René Benko. Over the years, the two-man company with an initial focus on classic real estate development has become a pan-European real estate group with more than 150 employees and offices in Vienna, Innsbruck, Munich, Düsseldorf, Zurich and Luxembourg. The principal focus of the Signa Group of Companies is the long-term investment in real estate in prime city centre locations.
Structure
Fifteen years old, SIGNA Group has emerged as one of the leading and most successful privately owned European real estate companies. Dedicated to exceptional retail properties, the group was able to cultivate expert knowledge on the retail sector. In 2013, SIGNA extended its activities on merchandising by acquiring majority stakes in the German sporting goods specialist Karstadt sports and in Karstadt Premium. In summer of 2014, SIGNA took over Karstadt Warenhaus.

In Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, the "molini di Signa" (mills of Signa) are the most coveted by his relatives of Buoso Donati's properties.
