LIVING IN THE VILLAGE IN THE THIRD DISTRICT
In Vienna’s third district, the VILLAGE IN THE THIRD is emerging as a new part of the city – one of Vienna’s largest urban development areas. Over more than eleven hectares, ARE Austrian Real Estate, together with the City of Vienna and wohnfonds_wien, is creating a vibrant, nearly car-free neighborhood with around 2,000 apartments, office and commercial spaces, childcare, educational facilities, and local amenities.
The green heart of the area is the over 2-hectare Bert-Brecht-Park – an oasis for relaxation, socializing, and play. All roofs that are not accessible will be greened. Sharing services, shopping, and gastronomy are right at your doorstep. Sustainability, short distances, and high quality of life are the guiding principles of this new district.
With the slogan ”naturally outdoors,” construction site 14A embodies this idea in a special way: generous outdoor areas, intelligent architecture, sustainable energy supply – living in the middle of Vienna, in harmony with nature.
ARCHITECTURE THAT SHAPES OPEN SPACES
The building complex consists of two trapezoidal structures connected by the underground garage on the first basement level. In total, 126 condominiums are being built, complemented by a commercial unit, 65 car parking spaces, and numerous bicycle parking spots. Each apartment is also assigned a storage room.
Spacious and welcoming entrances greet residents and lead into roomy stairwells. Recesses in the top floors and wide stairwell openings bring daylight deep into the common areas. Greened outdoor zones in front of the apartments and textile sunshades on the balcony fronts contribute significantly to summer heat protection. The green roofs, designed with a biodiversity concept, create new habitats for birds and insects.
Architectural Highlights
Rhythmically structured facades with wood and clinker elements – modern, light, and timeless
Balconies and loggias accessible directly from almost all living rooms, equipped with sun protection screens and generous depth
Green outdoor zones in front of the apartments serving as natural climate buffers
Green roofs with biodiversity concept – habitats for birds and insects
Inviting entrances and stairwells, flooded with light through recesses and stairwell openings
The architecture conveys spaciousness while creating a sense of security – perfect for an urban home combined with a connection to nature.

ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE
The entire neighborhood relies on an innovative low-temperature energy network that connects buildings and optimizes energy flows. Construction site 14A thus becomes a showcase project for sustainable supply:
Ground probes combined with heat pumps provide energy for space heating in winter and temperature regulation (basic cooling) in summer.
Photovoltaic systems on the roof generate renewable electricity.
Demand-controlled ventilation with heat recovery ensures continuous fresh air supply.
District heating connection supports supply during peak times and hot water preparation.
Underfloor heating on the ground floor and building activation in the upper floors (via the ceiling of the floor above) ensure a balanced indoor climate.
This creates a combination of living comfort, energy efficiency, and ecological responsibility – a benefit for residents.
