Positions & Options As a development company for aspern Seestadt Vienna, we are entering the year <strong>2019</strong> with great optimism. This year, various very attractive office offers will be launched in our Seeparkquartier business hotspot - while Vienna as a whole will record one of the lowest completion rates for office properties in recent years. In this area as well we have very good starting conditions for the new quarter, the quality of which is also reflected in the new usage mix. 2 In the Seeparkquartier in aspern Seestadt, this will be the privately-financed rental and owned apartments that are being built in a pedestrian zone in a prime location with underground connections and access to the lake. These properties benefit not only from the top location, but also from the mix of high-quality office spaces, shops on the ground floors, restaurants and leisure facilities. 3 That depends on the asset class. In the case of purely residential land, it is highly probable that prices will no longer rise appreciably. Gerhard Schuster, aspern 4 First of all, it is definitely digitization and here I can see some key aspects that we are working on intensively in the Seestadt area. With the DBS Club we are also dealing with "Digital Building Solutions" that take the entire cycle from financing to planning, construction and operation into account. Furthermore, smart home solutions are increasingly in demand from users and make a lot of sense from our urban development perspective – at best, they not only provide comfort for the individual but also contribute to resource conservation and our sustainability goals. This is a key research aspect of Aspern Smart City Research (ASCR), for example. Projects that are working on supplying energy at the local neighborhood level are also along the same line. Locally generated and used energy in a small-scale association is an incredibly exciting topic in new development areas. Secondly, especially in Vienna the Smart City will continue to carry a lot of weight. We in the Seestadt see ourselves as the Urban Lab of the Smart City Vienna and are working on the topic far beyond its digital aspects. This begins with mobility and open space planning that contribute to "urban resilience" and extends to our innovation of the "managed shopping street" as a control element for all local supply within easy reach in a city. Last but not least, it is and remains the good usage mix that enhances real estate and urban districts. This makes aspern Seestadt extremely successful even by international standards. 5 In <strong>2019</strong> we will get the final development phase of the Seeparkquartier off the ground. A number of the 14 projects will be completed this year and by 2020 the quarter should be largely completed so that by 2021 we can finish the surfaces, plant the green areas and set up the outside furnishings. Just as important for us is the beginning of the building construction in the Quartier Am Seebogen, north of the lake. This will again be very diverse, industry will play a major role, but also new social infrastructure with kindergartens, the second school campus of the Seestadt and exciting cultural offerings. We must therefore prepare the infrastructure in spring <strong>2019</strong>, for which the planning work has been in full swing since last autumn. Starting in <strong>2019</strong>, the Seestadt will also noticeably position itself as a hub for digitization processes by linking the many players and projects even more closely than before. These include Pilotfabrik 4.0 at the TU Vienna, the Austrian Center for Digital Production (CDP) and shortly the Manufacturing Innovation Hub of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) at the Technologiezentrum. And we will be even more active in our efforts to promote further flagship projects in the area of Smart City Solutions - the framework conditions could not be better than in our case. 74 ImmoFokus
