WORKING AND LIVING IN
A DREAM SPOT

Linke Wienzeile 4 | 1060 Vienna

Linke Wienzeile 4 – more than just an address near Naschmarkt. It sits right next to a playhouse: Theater an der Wien. Another landmark directly in the neighbourhood: the Secession building. The house itself is an Art Nouveau gem that helped to define the cityscape of Vienna, built in 1909 on one of the city’s most beautiful and renowned streets, which was defined not least by Otto Wagner, a famous Art Nouveau architect. Beauty, hedonism, quality, culture, the good life: The residential, office and commercial building at Linke Wienzeile 4 represents an intrinsic part of the charm that defines Vienna.

IT’S OFFICIAL –
VIENNA IS THE BEST CITY
IN THE WORLD

For the tenth consecutive time, no less, the renowned Mercer Ranking named Vienna the most liveable city in the world. Which arguably makes it official. And that is not all. Vienna has repeatedly topped international rankings as greenest and smartest city or the best place to go for start-ups. It is a magical place where tradition meets the future. Art, culture, national and international institutions and companies feel very much at home in Vienna, including the United Nations. The same goes for more than 1,500 research facilities – making the city a vibrant business and innovation hub for Austria and for Europe in general.

Undaunted by its cosmopolitan role, Vienna has always remained true to itself – from its coffeehouse culture to the glib Viennese banter and all the way to the celestial cuisine. There is no index to measure the “casual” or “live-and-let-live” quality of a city. But if there were, Vienna would score higher than most other metropolises – and still remain an affordable place to live.

PERFECT FOR LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Located in the immediate vicinity of the Secession exhibition hall at one end of the street, Linke Wienzeile 4 is part of the well-known Art Nouveau complex that extends from here past the Naschmarkt all the way to the famous buildings designed by Otto Wagner near Kettenbrücke and beyond. Built to plans by architect Leopold Fuchs in 1909, the building was a prestigious residential/commercial building even during the Belle Époque.

The business premises on the ground floor host up-scale retailers and gastronomy. There even used to be a cinema in the building, later turned into a playhouse where Viennese heavyweights like Helmut Qualtinger and Cissy Kraner took to the stage.

Some of the stately apartments of the upper floors remain private residences to this day while others are occupied by law firms, tax and management consultancies or serve as prestigious corporate offices. The basement levels offer 59 car-parking spots. The diverse, historically evolved tenant mix lends the building with its rich past a special atmosphere of familiarity and vibrancy – that blends seamlessly with the lively bustle in the immediate surroundings.

PURE ART NOUVEAU,
CAREFULLY UPGRADED

The Art Nouveau building at Linke Wienzeile 4 is grouped around a courtyard facing the street; its six levels are accessed via three staircases. Façade, structure and building core of the complex have been almost entirely preserved and retained, and the well-appointed house presents itself with its stunning historic fabric in excellent repair. Marble-lined lobbies, rich ornaments in the staircases and on all levels, floors, windows and doors either original still or carefully restored, and countless details in Art Nouveau style – they all tell the story of this house. Interiors and offices have undergone painstaking and forward-looking upgrades to ensure they meet all technical standards of tomorrow’s work environments.
