Description from the provider
Vienna's new landmark for living at a lofty height
In the DC Tower 2, living begins where the city transitions into vastness. High above Vienna, exclusive apartments unfold with a panorama that is unparalleled: the view sweeps over the skyline, follows the Danube – the mighty 'megawater' of the city – and extends far beyond urban and rural horizons. Here, the view is not a luxury but a daily experience.
With the DC2 Tower, a new architectural landmark and a milestone for sustainable high-rise living in Europe is being created in Vienna's Danube City. Designed by the internationally renowned architect Dominique Perrault, the 175-meter high tower combines visionary architecture, forward-looking energy concepts, and exclusive living at an unprecedented height.
The DC2 Tower, with 52 floors and 314 high-quality apartments starting from the 32nd floor, is one of the most spectacular residential projects in the country. Apartment sizes ranging from approximately 30 to 260 square meters offer a consciously diverse offering – from intelligently planned one-room studios to comfortable family apartments and spacious five-room maisonettes. Each unit impresses with well-thought-out floor plans, high living quality, and generous window areas that stage the view outside and make the city part of the living space. Loggias, balconies, and open spaces extend the living area and make the impressive height immediately tangible.
"Being close to the clouds" becomes a reality here – a true 7th Heaven for discerning city dwellers.
Architecture meets innovation
A particular focus is on sustainability and future viability. As Austria's first high-rise with a photovoltaic facade and also the first building in Europe whose PV elements extend over the entire building height, the DC2 Tower sets new standards. The translucent PV panels allow natural daylight to enter and at the same time contribute significantly to self-generated electricity.

The highest residential address in Austria: This extraordinary maisonette on the 51st floor of the DC2 Tower is located at the highest level in Austria where apartments are rented. Up here, there is no direct opposite – only sky, water, and vastness. The unobstructed distant view over the Kaiserwasser makes every morning a special experience.
All penthouses on this level share an exclusive wine cellar directly on Level 51 – a unique privilege within the DC2 Tower.
Architecture that creates space: Upon entering the apartment, there is a practical wardrobe niche and a guest toilet in the entrance area. This is followed by a spacious, loft-like living area that combines cooking, dining, and living in an open concept. The living area is partially open to the upper floor, creating an extraordinary sense of space and light due to the double room height. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where the private level is located: two bedrooms with distant views and a spacious bathroom with bathtub and shower.
The surrounding main loggia encloses the corner apartment and extends the living space outdoors. A second loggia offers an additional retreat with a wide view.
