Vienna, 11 November 2024 A mixed-use project with a usable floor space of around 40,000 m2 is being built on a site previously used as a parking lot in Muthgasse in Vienna's Döbling district (19th district). STRABAG was able to secure the contract from WBV-GPA in a bidding process.
“We are pleased to have been awarded this major contract for the creation of affordable and high-quality housing in Vienna. Our city has already provided many positive examples of innovative residential construction concepts, and we are proud to make our contribution,” explains Markus Engerth (Member of the Management Board of STRABAG AG Austria).
Affordable housing is at the forefront
Multifunctionality and affordability are the hallmarks of the project at Muthgasse 50. Of the 309 residential units, 238 are subsidized rental apartments. In addition to affordable housing, a student residence with a total of 258 units, a kindergarten for six groups of children and a sports hall are planned. This hall is designed as a multipurpose hall and can be used by clubs or other groups. The property will also include office and commercial space of approximately 5,500 m².
270 parking spaces are divided between an above-ground and an underground car park. At the same time, the project, which is close to the U4 Heiligenstadt station, has excellent public transport connections. Of the complex's total usable floor space of approx. 39,870 m², approx. 22,590 m² is residential space alone. The project is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Ecological supply of renewable energies
A photovoltaic system and 70 geothermal probes, each 150 meters deep, along with wells to use the groundwater, will ensure a sustainable energy supply for the complex. A corresponding charging infrastructure is planned for electric vehicles. Cost-effective and efficient heating and cooling is guaranteed by the thermal component activation of the concrete parts. Spacious roof terraces, some of which are equipped with pergolas, will be available to all residents.
Michael Gehbauer, managing director of WBV-GPA, explained the concept: “With this project, we are focusing on sustainability and a forward-looking construction method that defines the living space of the future while also reducing construction time. At Muthgasse 50, we are creating a living space that meets the needs of all generations.”
Cutting-edge construction technology in use
In the construction of the project, STRABAG and WBV-GPA are focusing on the use of the latest construction technology. In many places, the efficiently prefabricated components from STRABAG's subsidiary Mischek Systembau are used. The appropriate technology for concrete core activation is already built into the element ceilings, while the fully prefabricated walls contain all the necessary plumbing installations.
Prefabricated building service shafts, installed floor by floor, are equipped with all essential piping. The use of prefabricated modules shortens the construction time of the project by about two months compared to a conventional construction method.
Innovative solutions for special challenges
The STRABAG team is overcoming the challenges of such a large construction site in the middle of an inner-city area by using sophisticated logistics. Similarly, the use of LEAN Construction optimizes organizational processes and the economical use of materials. This saves time, money and CO2 emissions.
