Loftwohnung at Rivergate with Danube view

Timeless, elegant architecture with exemplary sustainability

The office building with landmark character on Vienna’s Handelskai is outstanding not only visually, but also ecologically and economically. A well-considered energy concept ensures particularly low operating costs. In addition, you are fully provided for, from the in-house restaurant and the 24/7-staffed reception to commercial administration and facility management directly in the building. RIVERGATE sets standards for the working world of today and the environment of tomorrow.

Invitingly spacious. Fully provided for.

The RIVERGATE landmark is reminiscent of two sails facing each other. The glass façade creates transparent lightness and rooms flooded with light. Floor-to-ceiling windows open up spectacular views of the city, the Danube and the Kahlenberg. Two airy atriums provide space for informal meetings and a representative reception area. RIVERGATE offers over 50,000 m of flexibly configurable rental space for offices, shops and restaurants. A sustainable building in an urban location with excellent infrastructure:

• Excellent accessibility by car and direct connections to public transport and the airport
• International atmosphere thanks to tenants from all over the world
• Urban hotspot with shops, restaurants and hotels
• Distinctive location directly on the Danube with views of the vineyards and the city
• Culinary variety in the building and in the immediate vicinity
• High recreational value thanks to access to the Danube Island local recreation area
• Interesting prospects through new urban development areas

Perfectly planned. Flexible. Configurable.

All of RIVERGATE’s office spaces are located directly along the generous glass façade. This means you are supplied with ample daylight while working and can enjoy an impressive view at the same time. You have complete freedom in designing the room layout: everything is possible, from individual or group offices to open-plan offices. Staircases, lift lobbies, tea kitchens, IT rooms and sanitary facilities are all centrally located in the middle zone.

Maximum ecological and economic efficiency.

When it comes to sustainability, RIVERGATE clearly serves as a model. It is no coincidence that the “green building” has received multiple awards. A well-considered energy concept and a forward-looking mobility concept ensure resource conservation and climate protection. RIVERGATE consequently impresses with low operating costs and a full level of service. Tenants and the environment benefit equally here.

Green Building:

RIVERGATE was awarded the EU GreenBuilding certificate. It has also been awarded the LEED® Platinum certificate, the rarely granted and highest distinction of the US Green Building Council. In terms of sustainability, water management, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, as well as indoor environmental quality, RIVERGATE performs exemplarily.

Energy concept:

The Office Center’s primary energy demand is covered by renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy and groundwater. This ensures environmentally friendly heating, cooling and ventilation, as well as a healthy and comfortable indoor climate. This reduces the office building’s primary energy costs by 35 % and lowers its CO2 emissions by 280 tonnes annually.

Geothermal energy:

The building is heated and cooled with the help of geothermal energy and groundwater. This conserves valuable resources and minimizes primary energy demand. Activated building components use the winter heat potential and the summer cooling potential of the ground and groundwater. This energy output is enhanced by heat pumps. In addition, RIVERGATE is supplied with environmentally friendly district heating.

Façade:

In the southeast, a sun-position-controlled louvered screen with light guidance ensures glare-free work while allowing daylight into the office. This saves lighting costs. The electrically adjustable and individually controllable external solar shading of the other windows is complemented by internal glare protection. Closed panels that interrupt the glass façade provide additional shielding.

Green electricity:

The common areas of RIVERGATE are supplied with environmentally friendly electricity from an Austrian provider. The office building on the Danube therefore relies 100 % on renewable energy from sun, wind, water and biomass. For you and the environment, this means active climate protection in everyday office life, with low CO2 emissions, lower energy costs and a better quality of life.

Green mobility concept:

RIVERGATE is located at a high-capacity public transport hub with direct connections to the airport and Wien Mitte. A bicycle rental system is available directly outside for short journeys. Those arriving by bicycle can use the 130 video-monitored bicycle parking spaces. Drivers have the option of charging their electric vehicles at 3 e-charging stations in RIVERGATE’s underground car park.
