Market Space and "Naschpark" for Vienna
The shell construction of the basement, staircase, and floor slab for the approximately 850 square meter market space with a walkable roof garden is already complete, Jank said. In the coming months, the above-ground construction will take shape. A show kitchen is also to be accommodated in the market space. A specific completion date was not mentioned on Friday, but it is expected to be in autumn, according to those responsible.
In parallel, construction work for the "Naschpark" on the former parking lot is also underway. In the future, 80 trees will provide shade on 1,200 square meters. "We were always a bit unhappy with what was happening here," said NEOS market spokesperson Markus Ornig. The redesign significantly increases the attractiveness of the "Naschmarkt," added the district chairman of Mariahilf, Markus Rumelhart (SPÖ).
Numerous Applications for Stalls
For the 13 stalls in the market space, around 200 applications were received. Criteria such as sustainability or the proportion of organic products were emphasized, said Market Office Director Andreas Kutheil. Among the stalls are, in addition to an organic butcher, a chocolate manufacturer, two fishmongers, as well as delicatessen and fruit and vegetable vendors. A baker is also expected to move in by autumn. Sima pointed out in this context that the new market space provides "affordable sales space" for the stallholders.
