STRABAG has been awarded two major residential construction contracts in Vienna with a combined value of approximately €128 million, reinforcing efforts to address the city’s acute housing shortage. The projects, located in Donaustadt and Liesing, will deliver more than 440 new housing units along with supporting infrastructure.
Vienna continues to face strong demand for affordable housing, with newly completed residential units declining by over 40% in 2025 while population growth and rents rise. Against this backdrop, the new developments represent a timely boost to housing supply.
“This is a strong signal for Vienna’s housing market,” said Markus Engerth, Member of the Management Board of STRABAG AG Austria. “Despite challenging conditions, these projects demonstrate that sustainable residential construction is both possible and essential right now.”
In Liesing, Vienna’s 23rd district, STRABAG will construct the Im Terrassengarten project in Meischlgasse for the non-profit housing association BWSG. Valued at approximately €58 million, the project includes 285 subsidised rental apartments, 18 commercial units and 223 parking spaces. Built using a timber-hybrid construction system, the development emphasizes sustainability through prefabricated timber components, reduced construction time and lower CO₂ impact. Construction is scheduled from February 2026 to spring 2028.
In Donaustadt, Vienna’s 22nd district, STRABAG is acting as general contractor for the Roomeo residential development for property developer ZIMA. The €70 million project comprises an eight-storey building with 156 apartments, extensive bicycle parking, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and family-oriented housing layouts. Construction is set to begin in early 2026, with completion planned for end of 2027. Around one-third of the apartments have already been sold, reflecting strong market demand.
Together, the two projects underline STRABAG’s role in delivering affordable, sustainable and future-ready housing in Vienna, while supporting the city’s long-term urban development goals.
