Description from the provider
Vienna's new landmark for living at lofty heights
In DC Tower 2, living begins where the city transitions into openness. High above Vienna, exclusive apartments unfold with a panorama that is unmatched: the view sweeps over the skyline, follows the Danube – the city's mighty 'megawater' – and stretches far beyond urban and scenic horizons. Here, the view becomes 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-thinking energy concepts, and exclusive living at previously unattainable heights.
The DC2 Tower, with 52 floors and 314 high-quality apartments starting from the 32nd floor, is among the most spectacular residential projects in the country. The apartment sizes range from approximately 30 to 260 square meters, offering a consciously diverse selection – 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 showcase the view and integrate the city into the living space. Loggias, balconies, and open spaces extend the living area and make the impressive height immediately tangible.
'Getting close to the clouds' becomes reality here – a true 7th Heaven for discerning city dwellers.
Architecture meets innovation
A particular focus is on sustainability and future viability. As the first high-rise building in Austria with a photovoltaic façade and the first building in Europe whose PV elements extend over the entire building height, the DC2 Tower sets new standards. The light-permeable PV panels allow natural daylight to enter while also making a significant contribution to self-generated electricity.

Signature maisonette - approx. 96 m² - 3 rooms - two loggias - sunrise over the Kaiserwasser
Where the city meets the horizon: High above Vienna, on the 51st floor of the DC2 Tower, lies this extraordinary maisonette – part of the highest rental apartments in Austria. Up here, the city loses its heaviness. What remains are light, water, and an endless view into the sky. The east orientation with a view of the Kaiserwasser allows every day to begin with a silent spectacle of colors and reflections. Sunrises are not just observed here – they are experienced. All penthouse apartments on this level share an exclusive wine cellar directly on Level 51 – a privilege reserved for only a few.
Entering the apartment is calm and clear: on one side, a wardrobe niche with a guest WC, on the other, a modern kitchenette seamlessly transitions into the spacious living and dining area. The entire length of this room is accompanied by the loggia – as if the living space flows further into the sky. A second, intimate loggia offers an additional retreat above the city. Light, air, and openness characterize every perspective. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, which is entirely dedicated to tranquility: two bedrooms with a wide view, and a bathroom with a tub and WC complete the upper floor.
