In Vienna-Liesing, the starting signal has been given for a new residential quarter. The non-profit developers WBV-GPA and Neues Leben are constructing a total of 407 subsidized rental apartments in the urban development area „In der Wiesen.“ At the official groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, Housing City Councillor Elke Hanel-Torsch and District Chairman Gerald Bischof were present, among others.

In addition to the apartments, the area will also feature an indoor swimming pool, two commercial premises, and a neighborhood center built in timber construction. The two developers are investing a total of around 115 million euros in the „Mona’s Liesing“ project.

Of the 407 apartments, 204 will be implemented as SMART apartments. They have compact layouts and are aimed, among others, at singles, single parents, and young families.

According to project information, the rent for the SMART apartments will be around 10.60 euros per square meter per month, including operating costs and VAT. For the remaining subsidized rental apartments, around 12.30 euros per square meter per month is specified.

This project is intended to represent another building block in subsidized housing in Vienna.

„Mona’s Liesing“ goes beyond classic residential construction. Ten buildings are planned around five green courtyards.

The neighborhood will also include an indoor swimming pool for the residents. The timber neighborhood center is set to house 14 community rooms and a generational café.

Two additional commercial premises complement the offering. The new center is being built between In der Wiesen, Karin-Deckert-Weg, and Roso-Schweizer-Promenade and is located near the U6 station Erlaaer Straße.

„Mona’s Liesing“ is part of the larger urban development area „In der Wiesen.“ A total of around 1,600 apartments are expected to be built there in the coming years.

The immediate surroundings of „Mona’s Liesing“ also include the WaLeWi building group with around 40 apartments and a city of Vienna residential home with eight places.

For Liesing’s district chairman Gerald Bischof, the new quarter should therefore have an impact beyond the individual residential building.

The project was planned as part of a two-stage developer competition by Clemens Kirsch Architektur, Illiz Architektur, and Blaich + Delugan Architekten.

The three architecture firms work within a common framework but are each supposed to give the quarter its own design signature. Different colors and materials are intended to provide various apartment types and open space qualities.

The execution planning is carried out by WGA ZT GmbH, with GERSTL Bau as the general contractor.

A key element of the project is the design of the outdoor areas. The parking spaces are bundled in a three-story underground garage along the street.

This is intended to keep the interior of the quarter largely car-free. Large parts of the ground will not be sealed and are intended to provide space for deep-rooted, shade-giving trees.

The green areas will also be automatically irrigated. Together with Global 2000, the open space is to be designed as a „National Park Garden“.

In terms of the energy concept, „Mona’s Liesing“ also relies on several renewable sources.

A cross-building anergy network with deep probes and a heat pump is planned, supplemented by solar thermal energy and photovoltaics.

This will allow the entire facility to be operated without oil or gas.

In addition to the classic apartments, further community offerings are planned for future residents.

These include rooftop terraces with winter gardens, a two-story multipurpose room, and a shared office.

The combination of living, community, green spaces, and additional offerings is intended to make the new district an independent neighborhood.

The completion of „Mona’s Liesing“ is scheduled for spring 2029.

According to the developers, those interested in an apartment can already register non-bindingly on their websites.
