DC Tower 1

The tallest building in Central Europe has been completed in Vienna
The tallest building in Austria measures 250 meters. "DC Tower 1" comes from the studio of French architect Dominique Perrault. Completed in 2013, the building ranks among the tallest in Europe. In "Donau City," an area between the Danube and its old arm, there lies a district with a unique character spread over 18.5 hectares. It is marked by high-rise buildings, modern architecture of residential and administrative buildings, intended also for conferences and headquarters of international organizations such as the UN.
Construction of "DC Tower 1" began in 2010. The quarter-kilometer-high building consists of 60 floors. Not only the height, but also the distinctly "cracked" facade and dark color characterize the tallest building in Vienna. Among other things, it will house a hotel, offices, a fitness center, a banquet hall, restaurants, and, of course, a skybar. It takes just 10 minutes by metro to reach the new landmark from the historic St. Stephen's Cathedral. "DC Tower 1" will be accompanied by a 168-meter-high "partner." High-rise buildings in Vienna are mostly located in the "Donau City" and "Wienerberg City" areas.

The magical two hundred and historical buildings
Only the observation tower with a café and restaurant "Donauturm" (Danube Tower), measuring 252 meters, is taller than this building in Vienna. The historic landmarks of the city, the tower of St. Stephen's Cathedral, reaches a height of 137 meters, you can see Vienna from nearly 65 meters on the giant Ferris wheel "Wiener Riesenrad" in the Prater, and the tower of the Vienna City Hall soars to 105 meters.
