4,141 Offices for rent in Vienna – Page 142

• Large supply of space: Vienna has a total of around 11.5 million m² of office space. This includes modern office buildings as well as historic buildings  an extensive market with a wide selection for all needs.
• Strongly varying rents: Office rents vary greatly by location. In the 1st district (Innere Stadt) prime rents are over €25 per m² per month, while in outer districts basic offices are available from around €10 per m². Offices in top locations therefore require significantly higher financial resources than locations in peripheral districts.
• Recommended office size per workstation: You should plan approximately 8–15 m² per workstation to give employees sufficient space. This rule of thumb helps assess the size of a suitable office for the number of employees.
• Excellent transport connections: Vienna has an excellent public transport network. The subway, trams and S-Bahn ensure that practically every office location  from Döbling to Donaustadt  is quickly accessible. This reduces commuting times and makes locations outside the center attractive.
• High quality of life as a locational advantage: Vienna has been named the most livable city in the world several times. This high quality of life also benefits companies, as it helps attract skilled workers and creates a pleasant environment around the workplace.

Vienna is considered an important economic center of Central Europe and is home to numerous national and international companies. Consequently, the office market in Vienna is lively. The city has a total of around 11.5 million m² of office space, spread across 23 districts with different focuses.

The supply ranges from representative offices in historic palaces of the Inner City (1st district) to sprawling office parks on the outskirts. Many companies appreciate Vienna for its stable economy, excellent infrastructure and its reputation as one of the most livable cities in the world.

At the same time, demand for flexible working models is increasing: in addition to classic rental offices, there is a wide range of coworking spaces and shared offices, which shows that the market is constantly adapting to new possibilities.

The office market also reflects the diversity of the city. On the one hand, there are offices in prestigious locations overlooking Viennese landmarks such as St. Stephens Cathedral or the Vienna State Opera. On the other hand, modern office buildings are being developed in development areas outside the historic center.

Vienna is a city of short distances: Due to the decentralized distribution of business locations, there are suitable office locations in almost every neighborhood  whether in the elegant center or in up-and-coming outer districts.

When searching for an office in Vienna, facilities and area play a decisive role. First, you should correctly estimate space requirements: on average, about 8 to 15 m² per workstation are recommended, depending on the industry and work style.

An open-plan office (Open Space) requires less area per person overall than many small individual offices, but offers less privacy per person. So consider which layout suits your team  some companies prefer open office spaces for better communication, others need separate rooms for focused work or meetings.

Also pay attention to the size of meeting and conference rooms, so that enough space is available for meetings. If there are expansion plans, the office should also have capacity for additional workstations.

In addition to area, the facilities of a new office are an important factor. Modern offices ideally have high-speed internet (fiber), structured IT cabling and air conditioning.

Furnishing also plays a role: an office space can be handed over empty or already equipped with desks, chairs and cabinets (plug-and-play offices). Consider whether you prefer a fully equipped office or want to take care of the furnishings yourself.

Facilities also include shared amenities such as a kitchenette, sanitary facilities and possibly a reception area. Some offices in Vienna score with extras like a balcony or a roof terrace  such features are mainly found in modern properties or top floors and can improve the working atmosphere.

Practical aspects of the office building are also important: Is there an accessible entrance (e.g. elevator for higher floors)? Are parking spaces or an underground garage available for employees and customers? In inner-city locations, private parking spaces are scarce, but many properties offer alternatives such as spaces in nearby garages.

Finally, you should keep an eye on the costs: Rent itself is usually only part of the total rental cost. Additional operating costs for heating, cooling, cleaning, security and infrastructure (e.g. waste disposal) are added to the net rent.

The choice of location is often the most important decision factor when renting an office in Vienna. Popular office locations can be found both in the city center and in outer districts  depending on the need for prestige, budget and space size.

First and foremost is, of course, the Innere Stadt (1st district), Vienna's historic center. Here you reside in a representative environment close to authorities, banks and law firms. An office in the city offers pure prestige  often in magnificent historic buildings with high ceilings.

However, rents in the first district are the highest in the city. Those who rent in the Inner City have world-famous landmarks on their doorstep, from the Vienna State Opera to the Hofburg, which is an advantage especially for consulting firms or law firms.

There are also attractive office locations in adjacent and central districts. Landstraße (3rd district), for example, benefits from excellent transport connections (Wien Mitte, Rennweg) and offers offices at more moderate prices than the first district.

Mariahilf (6th district) and Neubau (7th district) are known for their creative atmosphere  many start-ups, agencies and IT companies have settled here. These areas offer a lively environment with cafés, restaurants and shopping streets (such as Mariahilfer Straße).

Donaustadt (22nd district) has established itself in recent years as a modern business district: in Donau City and around the UNO City, office high-rises reach into the sky. There you can find top-modern office spaces with views, high technical equipment and often lower rents per square meter than in the center.

One of Vienna's greatest strengths is its first-class infrastructure and transport connections. The city's public transport network is among the best in Europe: five subway lines, numerous tram and bus lines as well as S-Bahn trains connect practically all districts.

For your office, this means short distances for employees and customers. A location near the subway is nowadays almost a must  many new offices are being developed specifically at public transport hubs. Thanks to the dense network, even more remote commercial areas can usually be reached within 30–40 minutes from the city.

The motorway connection is also good: the city motorway (Südost-Tangente) and other expressways enable access by car, which is particularly advantageous for offices in outer districts such as Donaustadt or Liesing. However, one should consider that there is a shortage of parking spaces in the city center.

If parking spaces are important, check whether the property offers a garage or reserved spaces. Otherwise, Vienna's dense public transport network is the best solution for making the daily commute stress-free.

The infrastructure around the office location also includes soft factors. Employees appreciate a good location when shopping facilities, lunch-time restaurants, banks, post office and other services are within walking distance.

Vienna scores here with a high density of local amenities: even in many commercial areas there are canteens or restaurants within reach. The digital infrastructure is equally essential  Vienna has modern telecom networks, so high-speed internet is available in practically all office properties.

Supply security (electricity, water, etc.) in the city is also at a very high level, which ensures smooth office operations.
