Construction starts for 81 apartments in Vienna-Alsergrund: When does it finally start?

The planned start of construction for a new residential project at Alserbachstrasse 4 is still a long time coming. At a time when living space is in increasing demand in Vienna, construction work for a total of 81 apartments in this central location is still pending. Loud My district Various hurdles have already had to be overcome since the renovation was announced in 2019. The focus is particularly on the rezoning, which was only approved by the local council in 2019 after delays had occurred since 2012.

The legally binding building permit for attic extensions and conversions was issued on April 20, 2021. However, no start of construction has been announced at the moment, although the developer, represented by Jürgen Grüneis from b+g living and Andreas Schneeberger from eipero, has already confirmed the official start. The deadline for construction to begin has been set for April 14, 2025, with possible completion by the end of 2028.

Construction projects around Alserbachstrasse

At the same time, Alserbachstrasse itself is being extensively redesigned in order to increase the quality of stay and expand the infrastructure. The WKO has launched an extensive package of measures that will be implemented from April to December 2025. The section from Spittelauer Lände to Nußdorfer Straße, as well as parts of Nordbergstraße and Julius-Tandler-Platz, will be extensively renovated and redesigned.

These construction measures are divided into different sections, including the redesign of Julius-Tandler-Platz, in which 8,000 m² will be unsealed. The number of green spaces will be increased from 21 m² to 2,140 m² and 46 new trees are planned for planting. The aim is to create an improved quality of stay through armchairs, benches, water features and drinking fountains.

Skepticism and challenges

Despite the ambitious plans, there are concerns about their actual implementation. The district administration does not receive any current information about the start of construction, which further fuels the concerns of residents and entrepreneurs. In particular, entrepreneurs active in the areas affected by the construction work can apply for support to overcome the challenges during the construction phase.

Given the high demand for living space and the associated challenges, the question arises: Will the residential project on Alserbachstrasse finally be realized and can the planned 12 affordable apartments actually be implemented as planned as part of the cooperation with “neunerhaus”? The rental price of around 4 euros per square meter for the next 25 years could help many Viennese find affordable housing, but it must first become a reality.

For anyone wondering how to deal with technical issues, it might also be helpful to contact Microsoft Support. Here, for example, users can find helpful tips to solve problems such as adjusting the screen brightness. This can be important for entrepreneurs who rely on digital tools during the construction phase, such as Microsoft Answers described.

Overall, it remains to be seen whether all plans will work out and whether both the housing project and the redesign of Alserbachstrasse can bring the citizens of Vienna the urgently needed improvements.
