What does sustainable real estate development look like in practice? Real estate management students were able to explore this question firsthand during a construction site tour of the Silo Next project in Vienna’s 23rd district. The excursion offered the opportunity to get to know an innovative office project up close.
STRABAG Real Estate’s Silo Next project stands for a flexible and efficient floor plan and energy-optimized building technology. The planning was specifically geared toward the requirements of modern companies. At the same time, the project consistently pursues a sustainable approach: all office floors are being built with a clear focus on resource conservation and long-term operational efficiency.
Sustainable technology for modern office buildings
The technical equipment includes geothermal energy in the basement and photovoltaic systems on the roof. This combination supports environmentally friendly energy supply and enables low operating costs.
The project also focuses on sustainability in its building materials. CO₂-reduced concrete, recycled steel, and sheep’s wool insulation are used. These materials reduce the building’s ecological footprint while meeting high quality standards in construction.
Practical insights into neighborhood development
The project is being implemented by Strabag Real Estate. Project manager Christian Kerth gave the students a tour of the construction site and provided an overview of the planning, implementation and goals of this modern and sustainable neighborhood development.
The long-standing cooperation with Strabag Real Estate regularly provides students with valuable insights into current construction and real estate projects. True to the motto “Studying practice,” excursions, lectures and personal discussions combine real projects with theoretical content, thus enabling practical training.
