New, sustainable apartments handed over in the Danube city!

New, sustainable apartments handed over in the Danube city!

In the Danube city, ARWAG Holding-Aktiengesellschaft today completed the first stage of 155 subsidized apartments in the “Living in the Kagraner Flur” construction project. District head Ernst Nevrivy, together with board directors Thomas Drozda and Christian Raab, handed over the apartments to the new residents in a ceremonial setting. At this handover at Breitenleer Straße 14 / Am Langen Felde 47–51, Nevrivy wished the people of Donaustadt a good start into their new four walls.

These apartments are a prime example of ecological building. They offer well-thought-out floor plans and high-quality furnishings. The 155 subsidized rental apartments include 78 particularly affordable SMART apartments. The living areas vary between 51 and 88 m² and include private outdoor areas such as balconies, loggias or private gardens. The offering is rounded off by three shops, 92 underground car parks and around 360 bicycle parking spaces.

Sustainable urban development in focus

The “Living in the Kagraner Flur” project is not only designed to increase living space, but also focuses on sustainability. Managing director Oliver Stribl emphasized that sustainable urban development is at the heart of the ARWAG philosophy. The innovative energy concept includes component activation for heating and temperature control as well as a central heat pump for hot water. In addition, a photovoltaic system was installed on the roof and the facades are covered in greenery - both of which underline the ecological standards of the project.

Vienna is rightly considered one of the most livable cities in the world. More and more real estate developers are focusing on sustainable projects that make ecological, social and economic sense. This can also be seen, for example, in the Smart City Vienna, one of the largest sustainable housing projects in Europe, which aims to have 100% renewable energy supply by 2050. Social innovations and sustainable mobility concepts are also part of this vision, as is the Vienna Biotope City, which was developed strictly according to ecological criteria. Here too, the greening of facades and roofs are projects that contribute to biodiversity in the city.

Long-term investment in the future

ARWAG supports the principles of social sustainability through accompanying measures such as workshops and various activities for the new residents. These initiatives are intended to make it easier to move in and strengthen the community. When handing over the apartments, ARWAG presented itself as a full-service property developer that covers the entire life cycle of a property and has had a good hand in providing affordable and sustainable living space since 1990.

With over 180 realized properties covering more than 1.6 million square meters and around 17,000 residential units, ARWAG has left a lasting footprint on the Viennese residential landscape. Their efforts have so far been recognized by the klimaaktiv award from the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection. This award certifies ARWAG's consistent implementation of energy-efficient construction work and high living standards.

In the long term, sustainable housing projects like “Living in the Kagraner Flur” are more than just a home. They contribute to climate protection, increase the quality of life of residents and at the same time contain economic advantages through lower operating costs. Anyone who invests in a sustainable housing project is investing in the future. Further information about the initiative can be found on the websites of Wien Holding, ARWAG and Immofragen.
