In recent years, a trendy new quarter has also been created in this area. Vis-à-vis of the old AKH, more precisely at Alser Straße 19, remarkable new companies have settled, including "Freyja-The Croissant Story" and "Sicil.eat". At the moment there is only an empty restaurant on the entire Alser Straße, a significant improvement compared to the four vacancies in 2022.

Alser Strasse runs through two districts, which makes it a special location. This special feature is highlighted by the district chairwoman of the WKW, Vera Schmitz. It is satisfied with the many new, innovative companies that enrich this shopping street. Particularly noteworthy is the medical focus in the half of the street of the Alsergrund, supported by numerous medical institutions in the area.
