Even before the official handover, students from the Real Estate Management study programs at FHWien der WKW had the opportunity to tour DC Tower 2 in Vienna’s Donau City in October 2026. The tour was led by one of their own classmates.
A Skyscraper with an Innovative Energy Concept
Standing approximately 175 meters tall with 53 floors, DC Tower 2—designed by French architect Dominique Perrault—complements the skyline of Vienna’s Donau City. The skyscraper combines residential and office space and sets new standards in sustainability: It is the first skyscraper in Austria to integrate photovoltaic panels directly into the facade. Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
First-Hand Insights
A special feature of the field trip: Frederik Jarisch, a current bachelor’s student in the Real Estate Management study programs, personally presented the project to his fellow students and guided them through the building.
The tour gave the students the opportunity to experience a large-scale real estate project just before its completion and to gain insights into the practical implementation of modern high-rise projects.
A heartfelt thank you to Frederik Jarisch for organizing the tour and providing these exciting insights into this extraordinary construction project!
