Progress continues: Erste Group Immorent adds two more buildings to the Silo passive energy office complex
The Viennese district of Liesing is developing into a centre for innovative, ecological and flexible office and commercial office space. After successfully completing Silo One, work has now started on Silo Plus and Silo Next – two sustainable office buildings with around 19,700m² of rental space in the southern part of Vienna. In total, Silo Plus will offer 10,660m2 and Silo Next 9,032m2 of rental space and more than 250 parking spaces. The construction work will start in the middle of 2016 and will be finalized by the end of 2017.
The two new office buildings are designed to meet the specific needs of modern companies due to their flexible and efficient space structures as well as the energy-optimizing building technology and installations. A special feature of the Silo Offices is the flexible functionality of the rooms. The concept offers adaptable office spaces on every floor ranging from 310m2 to 1.800m2. This makes it possible to offer functional and flexible completion variants that include open space offices as well as individual offices with a high degree of comfort for users, high quality installations and innovative building technology.
“Our experience has shown that energy concepts are a key criterion when reaching decisions on where to locate business operations. The success of Silo One highlights the competence and the enormous know-how of Immorent,” stated Richard Wilkinson, CEO of Erste Group Immorent. “The entire campus-like structure is designed on the principles of sustainability; it is benign to the environment and also makes low overhead costs possible. Therefore, buildings with nearly zero energy consumption are not only good for the environment, but also for financial planning,” added Wilkinson.
Silo One – A Pioneer Project
In December 2014, after two years of construction, the passive energy office building Silo One opened its doors to the first tenants. The model project was built to the meet passive house energy standard klima:aktiv and was almost fully rented even before completion. Last year, the building won the Green and Blue Building Award for its contribution to sustainable construction and was also certified as BREEAM AT “Excellent”. Additionally, Silo Plus and Silo Next aim to obtain the ÖGNI Platinum certificate.
