Construction Start for New City Quarter Meischlgasse in Vienna-Liesing
Construction of the first new municipal building has begun at the Rosi-Schweizer-Promenade in Vienna-Liesing in the development area "In der Wiesen." The Meischlgasse city quarter comprises two interconnected buildings and will be constructed in solid construction according to the nearly zero-energy standard. The plans come from the offices of Ablinger, Vedrahl & Partner, and Schluder Architects.
Upon completion, the entire quarter will offer modern living space for around 4,000 people. A total of 1,870 apartments are planned, of which 1,220 are subsidized, as well as a public park of more than 6,000 square meters.
Climate-Ready Residential Quarter in Vienna-Liesing
A central element of the new municipal building is the ecological energy supply: The heating demand will be met by highly efficient heat pumps. Ground probes provide passive cooling in the summer according to the free-cooling principle. Photovoltaic systems generate electricity directly on site. All energy sources are connected via an anergy network, enabling optimized use.
The energy concept is planned and implemented by Wien Energie. The goal is resource-conserving and independent supply within the quarter.
More Than 1,170 Municipal Apartments Currently Under Construction
With the Meischlgasse project, eleven new municipal buildings with over 1,170 apartments are currently under construction. Further projects are expected to be ready for occupancy in the fall. So far, 13 complexes with around 1,600 apartments have been handed over to tenants. In total, 5,700 apartments for around 13,000 people have already been implemented.
The city government plans to tackle another 1,500 municipal apartments. The focus is on affordability, sustainability, and high living quality.
