Living in the Village in the Third

In the third district of Vienna, the Village in the Third is emerging as a new piece of the city – one of Vienna's largest urban development areas. Over eleven hectares, ARE Austrian Real Estate is developing a vibrant, almost car-free neighborhood in collaboration with the City of Vienna and wohnfonds_wien, featuring around 2,000 apartments, office and commercial spaces, childcare, educational facilities, and local supply.

The green heart is formed by the Bert Brecht Park, which spans over 2 hectares – an oasis for relaxation, encounters, and play. All non-accessible roofs will be greened. Sharing offers, shopping opportunities, and gastronomy are right outside the door. Sustainability, short distances, and high quality of life are the guiding principles of this new district.

With the slogan "urban at home," Building Site 13 embodies this idea in a special way: modern architecture, versatile open spaces, hobby rooms, and communal areas – living in the heart of Vienna with a strong urban identity and high comfort.

ARE is one of Austria's largest real estate companies and has already realized some of Vienna's most significant construction projects – including the renovation of the historic Palais Epstein on the Ring and the striking TrIIIple Towers on the Danube Canal. The Village in the Third also joins this series of innovative projects.

Energy for the future.

A modern energy network ensures that the individual buildings in the Village in the Third are interconnected and energy flows are efficiently managed. Building Site 13 is also part of this innovative network – one of the most modern forms of sustainable neighborhood supply.

Ground probes combined with heat pumps provide energy for space heating in winter and for tempering (basic cooling) in summer.

Photovoltaic systems on the roof generate renewable electricity.

Underfloor heating in the ground floor and component activation in the upper floors (through the ceiling of the respective upper floor) ensure a balanced indoor climate.

Controlled ventilation with heat recovery ensures continuous fresh air supply.

District heating connection supports supply during peak times as well as hot water preparation.

This creates a combination of comfort, innovation, and ecological responsibility – a clear added value for residents.

Architecture that embodies urbanity.

Building Site 13 comprises three structures connected by a common base floor:

OPS 12 Stg. 1+2: five upper floors

OPS 12 Stg. 3: eight upper floors

HGP 5: ten upper floors

A total of 143 owner-occupied apartments with living areas between approximately 45 m² and 110 m² and 2-5 rooms will be created, along with 2 commercial premises. Additionally, 10 hobby rooms will be offered for purchase. The compact building form mostly ensures two-sided illuminated apartments, each with two open spaces:

an open space room with movable perforated sheet metal elements for privacy and shading

a covered balcony with glass railing

Dry-footed access is provided via the central covered corridor from the main entrance on Otto-Preminger-Straße to the two rear buildings up to the Hilde-Güden promenade and direct access to the park. The corridor is widened with generous openings to the atrium courtyards, which are illuminated and ventilated from above. Car and bicycle garages, waste rooms, and stroller storage rooms are also directly accessible via this central corridor. Additional entrances at the park level allow good pedestrian access from all directions.
