This painstakingly reconstructed gem in the centre of the Austrian metropolis offers modern office units in one of the most sought-after and time-honoured parts of Vienna.

The offices at Schwarzenbergplatz 3 are up to this standard in every way.
Past, Future,
and Smart City #1
For many years, Vienna has kept scoring top spots in international liveability rankings. For instance, Vienna took the lead in the latest “Global Liveability Index” by the Economist and in Mercer’s “Quality of Living City Ranking.” At the same time, the metropolis by the Danube is an innovation leader. In the “Smart City Index” by Roland Berger, the city again tops the list.
Vienna has a grand past and a bright future. It is home to art, culture, national and international institutions and corporates as well as over 1,500 research facilities. Collectively, they make Vienna the central economic and innovation hub in Austria or indeed in Europe. Vienna is growing. Its economic growth is reflected not least in robust statistics. For one thing, the city boasts the highest value creation ratio in Austria.
Schwarzenbergplatz counts among the best-known squares in downtown Vienna. In a way, it mirrors the past and present significance of the city. History, architecture, politics, commerce, art, culture and modern urbanity all intersect here. The house at number 3 is symbolic for this place – as the eight-storey building has a long history while simultaneously offering the kind of flexibility and fit-out that present-day companies expect and need in order to be able to prosper in future.
Character and Evolution
The house at Schwarzenbergplatz 3 looks back on a long and turbulent history. Originally constructed as administrative headquarters of an Austrian railway corporation according to plans by architect Heinrich Ferstel, it was almost completely destroyed in the night time bombing raids of 1945. In 1983, the architect Georg Lippert used a steel skeleton structure to rebuild it with a historicist façade modelled on the original. In the years since, it has been modernised and regularly upgraded to the latest technological standard.
Today, the eight-storey house provides flexibly modifiable accommodations to its corporate tenants. Office and retails units are freely configurable thanks to the building’s centre-to-centre grid of 0.9-metre spacings. Its state-of-the-art network and M&E services, combined with the latest fire safety, security and access control systems and with consistently high-end interior fit-out work, make the building a place of business in the heart of the Austrian capital that is both up-to-date and highly presentable.
