Andromeda Tower
Architecture
The tower is located in the 22nd district of Vienna of Donaustadt. It was built between 1996 and 1998 according to plans by Wilhelm Holzbauer as the first building in the new district of Donau City. It was named after the figure Andromeda from Greek mythology.
The developer was WED Wiener Entwicklungsgesellschaft für den Donauraum AG, which sold the building to Billa founder Karl Wlaschek for a reported 57 million euros after completion. While the basement floors house shops, service companies and restaurants, the upper floors house offices. Tenants include the Permanent Missions of Japan and Austria to International Organizations, the computer company Unisys, ATB AG and General Electric.
