Guglgasse 6

Welcome to 1110 Vienna

The 11th district, also known as "Simmering", is located at the southern end of Vienna and borders directly on the Danube Canal. Unique for Vienna is the very high proportion of grassland of almost 45%, which is largely used for growing vegetables. Due to the proximity to the Danube Canal as well as the location at the city border, many traditional industrial companies such as Siemens, Steyr and other companies have settled in Simmering. The rural character of the 11th district is particularly noticeable at the southern edge of the district to Lower Austria and changes quite quickly the closer one gets to the center in the northern direction. Despite its location and periphery, Simmering is perfectly connected to the city center thanks to the many important transport links across the district. The proximity to Schwechat Airport is also a plus - from the S-Bahn stations in the district, you can reach both Schwechat and Wien Mitte in no time at all, making the Eleventh a popular residential district for commuters and frequent flyers.

Microlocation Guglgasse

Nothing is worth more than a good location. The "Guglgasse 6" project is located in the northern area of Vienna's 11th district, Simmering, close to the city. In the immediate vicinity are numerous local amenities such as supermarkets, medical practices and recreational facilities. Due to the directly adjacent subway station Gasometer (U3) as well as the railroad station Wien Mitte, which can be reached within 10 minutes, the location is excellently connected to the public transport network and the city center can be reached within 15 minutes. The connection to the south-east tangent (A23) is also given by the junction Sankt Marx. The Wiener Prater as well as the Hyblerpark are within walking distance and invite you to linger.

Discover the surroundings

Rural-urban residential area meets industry - the project "Guglgasse 6" convinces with its status as a well-known landmark of the 11th district of Vienna as well as excellent transport connections and combines the advantages of the district at one location. Among Vienna's districts, Simmering has long been known as the classic workers' and industrial district and has been strongly characterized by social housing until now. In recent years, the picture has changed, as many private developers dedicated to the development of privately financed housing have discovered Simmering for themselves. Accordingly, there has been an increasing amount of new construction activity. After all, it is above all the already good and growing infrastructure and the high availability of vacant land that speak for the district's potential.

Simmeringer Haide

The former pastureland and topographically rather inconspicuous Simmeringer Haide today contributes significantly to the landscape of the 11th district. Since the Simmeringer Haide has been intensively farmed by farmers for vegetable and grain cultivation, glass houses stretch for kilometers and provide the Viennese and residents of Simmering with fresh vegetables. Today, the former Haide is also home to Vienna's main sewage treatment plant operated by the Simmering waste management company, the Simmeringer Haide hazardous waste and sewage sludge incineration plant operated by Fernwärme Wien, the main workshop (formerly the central workshop) of the Vienna Transport Authority, the Vienna Gas and Electric Works and numerous private companies. In addition, several small settlements with a rural character can be found here.
