New Community Building with 70 Apartments is Being Built in Vienna-Donaustadt
At Weidingergasse 2 in Vienna-Donaustadt, another new municipal housing project is entering the construction phase. The project includes 70 high-quality yet affordable apartments, generous community spaces, and a kindergarten in the building. A special highlight: for the first time, groundwater will be used for both heating and cooling – complemented by photovoltaics, heat pumps, building component activation, facade greening, and sun protection.
Municipal Housing in Vienna-Donaustadt to be Completed by 2027
"This is a prime example of the globally renowned Viennese municipal housing," emphasizes Deputy Mayor and Housing Councillor Kathrin Gaál (SPÖ). The location – a former kindergarten – was previously largely sealed.
The apartments are expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Each apartment has a private outdoor space such as a loggia, balcony, or terrace. In addition to a co-working space, there are communal lounges, a kindergarten, and direct access to leisure and recreational areas in the vicinity.
Municipal Housing Initiative Gains Momentum
With the project at Weidingergasse, the new generation of municipal housing in Vienna continues to grow. So far, over 5,700 apartments for around 13,000 people have been initiated. In the fall, approximately 160 new apartments will be occupied in Schönbrunner Straße, Stumpergasse, and Wehlistraße.
Furthermore, the Vienna city government has decided to build an additional 1,500 municipal apartments. The goal is to continue creating affordable housing at a high ecological standard – especially for households with medium and low incomes.
