Vienna becomes a flagship Airport City: Sustainability and Innovation in focus!
Vienna Airport is steadily developing into an international business hub, known as Vienna Airport City. This transformation began about twelve years ago with the aim of building up a location-independent business model in the non-aviation area. Today the airport already offers around 900 hotel rooms with an additional hotel building in wooden construction, the largest of this kind in Europe, which will include 510 rooms. In 2025, another 500 rooms are to be added to meet the needs of the rapidly growing business. Leadersnet reports that the development also includes the creation of around 130,000 square meters of office space, which is to be largely operated by geothermal energy.
Wolfgang Scheibenpflug, the head of the real estate and location management at Vienna Airport, emphasizes that the airport is not only a transport hub, but also a place where creativity and digitization play an important role. Over 80 logistics companies are currently located at the location and around 300,000 tons of high -quality goods are transported annually. With the expansion of the "Office Park 4 Next", which is to be realized by the beginning of 2028, the commitment to sustainability and modern construction concepts will continue.
Sustainability and modern infrastructure
Sustainability is a central aspect of airport development. Logivest emphasizes that Vienna Airport City was not only awarded a DGNB gold certificate from the Austrian Society for Sustainable Real Estate Management, but also launched various sustainability initiatives. A photovoltaic system on the airfield and the equipment of roofs with solar panels contribute to the sustainable energy supply, while the airport uses CO2-neutral district heating.
Smart building management solutions and the implementation of LEDs as well as 380 e-vehicles on the area are followed by a comprehensive sustainable concept. These measures support the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and show how modern technologies can make airports more environmentally friendly.
Future visions and challenges
The expansion to the "Cargo City Süd", on an area of 140,000 square meters by 2030, is supplemented by its own motorway connection and is intended to settle logistics service providers and companies. Delayed recognizes that airports are increasingly taking measures to minimize their environmental influence and that sustainable development is crucial for competitiveness. Technological challenges regarding the high costs and training for new equipment remain, as well as the need to adapt to changing legal framework.
The vision of Wolfgang Scheibenpflug not only includes the creation of new jobs and innovative solutions in real estate management, but also the desire for more flexible regulations to support this dynamic development. The combination of international standards and regional responsibility is loud Leader Another step towards a comprehensive future -oriented design of the airport area.
