Vienna - In the coming years, the tallest building in Austria will be constructed in Vienna - a 220-meter high skyscraper, which will feature 60 floors of commercial and residential space. As reported by the Austrian press today, the final permit was issued by the relevant department of the Vienna magistrate on Thursday. According to the project by French architect Dominique Perrault, this record-breaking structure will be part of a kind of Vienna "twins," as a second high-rise building, this one "only" 160 meters tall, will also be constructed nearby. Both buildings, which have already been named DC-Towers, will stand in the Vienna district of Donau City, where the UN is also located and where there are already several notable modern high-rise buildings - for example, the 100-meter tall Ares Tower or the 113-meter tall Andromeda Tower. Construction is set to begin on the currently vacant plots either at the end of this year or, at the latest, at the beginning of next year, and the building is expected to be completed in just two years.
