Danube Flats

The Danube Flats is a 180-meter-tall residential tower in Donau City in Vienna's 22nd district. Across 48 floors, the building houses around 600 privately financed owner-occupied and investment apartments. The design is by project A01 architects, who won an architectural competition for the site on Wagramer Strasse in 2012. After the Administrative Court confirmed the building permit in 2018 and the previous structure was demolished, excavation and foundation work began in April 2019. Construction of the superstructure started in the first quarter of 2021; completion was originally planned for 2023 but was delayed until 2024. The project has also drawn criticism because it offers mainly luxury apartments rather than affordable housing in an important urban development area.
