The Mischek Tower (German: Mischek Turm) is a high-rise residential building in the Donaustadt district of Vienna, Austria. Built between 1998 and 1999, the tower stands at 108 m (354 ft) with 36 floors and is the current 15th tallest building in Austria.[2]
History
[edit]Architecture
[edit]The building was constructed between 1998 and 1999 based on designs by the architect couple Delugan-Meissl by the construction company Mischek, which acted as general contractor, on behalf of the property developer Wiener Heim. The 110-meter-high building was the tallest residential building in Austria until the opening of the Neue Donau high-rise in 2002. Built from precast concrete elements, the Mischek Tower with its 35 floors (from the Donauplatte level, the street level is on level −3) is considered the tallest prefabricated building in the world.[3]
Located on the edge of Donau City between Donaupark and Austria Center Vienna, the bar-shaped building serves as a visual boundary between the city and the park. In addition to the actual high-rise, there are two further building sections, each with 9 floors. Towards the Danube, a residential building of the Donaucity residential park borders directly to the south of the Staircase 3 building section.[4]
The building is owned by the buyers of the approximately 440 apartments, most of which are subsidized by the State of Vienna.[5]
