    Description from the provider

    Vienna's new landmark for living at lofty heights

    In the DC Tower 2, living begins where the city transitions into expansiveness. High above Vienna, exclusive apartments unfold with a panorama that is unparalleled: the view sweeps over the skyline, follows the Danube - the powerful 'megawater' of the city - and extends far beyond urban and scenic horizons. Here, the view is not a luxury but a daily experience.

    With the DC2 Tower, a new architectural landmark is emerging in Vienna's Danube City, marking a milestone for sustainable high-rise living in Europe. Designed by the internationally renowned architect Dominique Perrault, the 175-meter high tower combines visionary architecture, forward-looking energy concepts, and exclusive living at previously unattainable heights.

    The DC2 Tower is one of the most spectacular residential projects in the country, featuring 52 floors and 314 high-quality apartments starting from the 32nd floor. Apartment sizes range from approximately 30 to 260 square meters, offering a consciously diverse selection – from intelligently planned studio apartments to comfortable family apartments and spacious five-room maisonettes. Each unit impresses with thoughtful floor plans, high living quality, and large windows that stage the view outside and make the city part of the living space. Loggias, balconies, and outdoor spaces extend the living area and make the impressive height immediately tangible.

    'Close to the clouds' becomes reality here – a true 7th Heaven for discerning city dwellers.

    Architecture meets innovation

    A special focus is placed on sustainability and future viability. As Austria's first high-rise with a photovoltaic facade and also the first building in Europe with PV elements extending over the entire building height, the DC2 Tower sets new standards. The translucent PV panels allow natural daylight to enter while also making a significant contribution to self-generated electricity.

    Exclusive duplex penthouse - approx. 121 m² - 3 rooms - Two loggias - View of the Kaiserwasser

    Living where Austria ends – and the sky begins

    This extraordinary maisonette apartment on the 51st floor of the DC2 Tower is located on the highest residential level in Austria where apartments can be rented. Up here, the perspective changes: the city disappears below you, the horizon opens up, and before you lies the glittering Kaiserwasser – calm, vast, and limitless. The east orientation gifts this residence a unique spectacle of light and color every morning. Sunrises, which you would usually only know from the air, become part of your daily routine here. All penthouses in the DC2 Tower share an exclusive wine cellar directly on the 51st floor – a privilege that further enhances this residential level.

    Upon entering the apartment, there is a practical wardrobe niche on the right side as well as a stylish guest toilet with a hand basin. On the left side, the modern equipped kitchenette with a bar opens up, elegantly integrated into the room and serving as the focal point for communication and enjoyment.

    The adjoining spacious living and dining area impresses with its expansiveness, brightness, and openness. The entire length of the living space is accompanied by a loggia that seemingly extends the interior into the sky and makes the panorama permanently experienceable. A second, more intimate loggia offers an additional retreat. An elegant staircase leads to the upper floor of the maisonette. Two quiet bedrooms with panoramic views and a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and shower as well as a toilet share the upper area. An area dedicated entirely to peace, privacy, and relaxation.
