Vienna starts through: Financing the new multifunctional arena!

Vienna starts through: Financing the new multifunctional arena!

Neu Marx, 1030 Wien, Österreich - On March 26, 2025, the Vienna municipal council decided that the city of Vienna will take part in the construction costs of the new Vienna Holding-Arena with a maximum of around 153 million euros. The multifunctional event hall will offer space for up to 20,000 visitors and is designed as one of the best multifunctional arenas in Europe. This arena will not only be used for concerts and shows, but also for sporting events, trade fairs and e-sports events. The project is realized by Vienna Holding in cooperation with CTS Eventim, which are also responsible for planning, establishing, financing and operating the arena.

The completion of the Vienna Holding-Arena has been aimed for by 2030. Up to 1.2 million visitors and up to 150 events are expected in full operation, as reported wienholding.at . The municipal council has also decided to provide funds around 63 million euros for further technical and operational measures to ensure the functionality of the arena.

sustainability and modern architecture

An important aspect of the project is sustainable planning, construction and operation of the arena. Planned innovative architectural elements include a large wooden roof and a hybrid wooden high -rise that is connected to the hall by bridges. The roof will not only be technically state -of -the -art, but will also offer opportunities for building services and stage technology. In addition, the planned sealing of the area of ​​almost 35,000 m² is compensated for by additional plantings and hanging gardens, which takes into account the climatic requirements for building.

Overall, the arena is to be built on a former slaughterhouse area in the third district of Vienna. This new multifunctional arena became necessary because the current Viennese city hall, which is already 67 years old, no longer meets the modern requirements. The aim is to secure Vienna as a top entertainment location sustainably and to keep large events in the city. CTS Eventim will also be actively involved in the ticketing income and the economic success of the arena, which should not only make the new hall a cultural but also an economic center for Vienna.

The project preparation phase with CTS Eventim is already in full swing. The framework conditions for the start of construction should be determined by the end of 2025. This step illustrates the will of the city of Vienna to create a future -oriented and attractive range of events that will enrich the cultural life of the city.
