Austria’s highest building, the 202-metre Millennium Tower with its layout composed of two intersecting circles, was completed within an extremely short period and at a very low net construction cost. The 50 storeys of the tower – exclusively destined for office use – with swanky top floors rise from the publicly accessible, three-storey Millennium City shopping mall.

After the covering of the Danube riverside motorway, this site, which originally had been singled out for the aborted Vienna-Budapest World’s Fair of 1995, was envisioned by the development company WED to become a new urban expansion area. Since 1998, intense construction activities include housing estates and office towers in this satellite centre efficiently linked to Vienna’s city by the U1 Underground line.
