History

Architecture

edit

Thr project is located on the Danube Canal in Vienna's third district (Erdberg district). The building complex consists of three towers (each around 100 metres high) with a usable area of ​​around 70,000 m2 (753,000 sq ft).[2]

The TrIIIple Towers were designed by the architectural team Henke Schreieck.[3][4] The project was developed by project partners SORAVIA and ARE Development in cooperation with the City of Vienna on the site of the former main customs office, which was located there from the 1970s.[5]

Towers 1 and 2 will be used for privately financed housing, while tower 3 will contain around 670 micro-apartments for students and young professionals.[6] The project volume is more than 300 million euros.[7][8]

The TrIIIple Towers are among the finalists of the International Highrise Award 2022/23 of the city of Frankfurt am Main.[9] The International Highrise Award is awarded every two years for a high-rise building. The selection criteria include exemplary sustainability, external design and internal spatial qualities as well as social and urban planning aspects.[10] For example, an energy-saving river water cooling and heating system is used to cool the TrIIIple Towers.[11]

A group of apartment buyers criticises the allegedly high costs of heating and cooling and claims that the supply to the neighbouring Austro Tower is illegal.[12] In two related court cases, the apartment owners were found to be right in the first instance, and an appeal is pending.[13]
