What are the potential actions or effects of the newly established Floridsdorf and Danube City districts?
Two Cutting-Edge Districts Shaping Vienna's Skyline
Get ready to witness two vibrant districts transforming the landscape of Vienna beyond the Danube - TwentyOne in Floridsdorf and Vienna TwentyTwo in the Donaustadt. While they share a common English moniker and mixed-use properties, they each offer unique flavors of innovation and sustainability.
Floridsdorf's New Heartbeat
TwentyOne, brought to life by architectural powerhouse Bondi Consult, breathes fresh life into the former machine-building site of Simmering-Graz-Pauker in Siemensstraße. The project spans six construction sites, each with its own focus: Innovation, Service, Central, Student, Office, and Hotel Hub. The Service Hub has already found a new owner, while the operation of the Innovation Hub began in 2022.
Art Meets Architecture
Springing to life in early May, the Central Hub, encompassing around 34,500 square meters of usable space, welcomed its first office tenants. This multi-purpose space is home to office, retail, laboratory, and gastronomy areas, as well as event spaces. A lush inner courtyard, brimming with seating areas, serves as the city's own urban oasis.
Real estate aficionados are already raving about these sought-after properties. During a tour with the CEO Anton Bondi de Antoni, the highlights were highlighted: "The moment you walk in through the grand entrance hall, you'll appreciate the stunning backlit watercolors created by the Styrian artist Franz Cserni. His message 'The moment is now' sets the tone for the modern work-life balance we aim to achieve here."
Later this year, a food court, minimarket, fitness center, and event area will open their doors. Stay tuned for the next two hubs, which will house a hotel and student housing.
A View to Remember
Just a stone's throw away, ARE Austrian Real Estate is making waves with the development of Vienna TwentyTwo, an ensemble of six building parts that once stood as a parking lot in Kagran. Four buildings have already been completed, with two still under construction. Recently, the tallest tower, boasting 44 above-ground floors, topped out its construction.
The Rise of Vienna's Office Market
The Tower Offices housed within Vienna TwentyTwo span approximately 16,400 square meters of office space from the 3rd to the 16th floor. Starting from the 18th floor, future residents of the 347 rental apartments can enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline. These apartments range from 38 to 125 square meters, each equipped with private loggias. Amenities such as restaurants, a hotel, serviced apartments, the district administration, and two local suppliers can be found within the vibrant quarter.
Vienna TwentyTwo was meticulously planned by architects Delugan Meissl Associated Architects and designed with sustainability in mind. Features like geothermal probes, green roofs, and energy recovery systems contribute to the quarter's eco-conscious ethos. By the end of 2025, the entire Vienna TwentyTwo ensemble will be completed.
