Commercial District TwentyOne: Status Quo Hotel, Office and Student Hub

The real estate at Siemensstraße 88, Hotel, Office and Student Hub, parts of the commercial district TwentyOne, was purchased jointly by Bondi Consult and MC Projektentwicklung (a company of the Cserni Group) at the beginning of 2020. Despite a three month lockdown we have been able to record considerable progress with these three components.

 

Land use designation
The redesignation process of the City of Vienna for the property at Siemensstraße 88 has been completed. The designation as mixed building land (industrial building area) is legally binding and therefore permits the building of offices, hotels, student apartments and the like.

Planning permission
A submission plan corresponding with the designation for all three components – Hotel, Office and Student Hub – has been submitted to the City of Vienna. Bondi Consult and MC Projektentwicklung are confident of receiving building approval by the summer of 2021.

Hotel Hub / Operator
Despite the current difficult framework conditions, Bondi Consult is in very concrete discussions and negotiations with a well-known, international hotel operator. Due to the agreed confidentiality, details of this cannot yet be communicated.

Anton Bondi de Antoni: “High praise from us to the authorities, who made almost normal work possible, despite the present difficult situation. Up to now we have been able to process the entire TwentyOne project in the scheduled time frame and accordingly are highly motivated, to do everything it takes to ensure that that doesn’t change!”

 

PHH supported Bondi Consult during the sale of the Service Hub in the commercial district “TwentyOne” to InterXion.

Almost two years ago Bondi Consult purchased one of the last, large contiguous commercial spaces in Vienna at Siemensstraße 87-89 resp. 88 and subdivided it into six building sites – Hubs. One of these building sites – the “Service Hub” has now been successfully sold by Bondi Consult to the InterXion Group. PHH Rechtsanwälte acted as legal advisor to Bondi Consult and provided support during the handling of the sale.

Bondi Consult offers a One Stop Shop for all property-relevant matters in the areas of Consulting, Development, Investment and Work Out. During the original purchase of the Siemensgründe, Bondi Consult was able to win through against well-known competitors in a bidding process.

The now sold Service Hub of the commercial district “TwentyOne” is intended to serve the InterXion Group, a worldwide provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral computer centre services for colocation, as a basis for a new computer centre. Through the conclusion of the transaction, Bondi Consult was able to realise a further representative real estate project and InterXion was able to drive forward their own expansion with a new site in Vienna as “gateway” to central and eastern Europe as well as Turkey.

“As always, we were very satisfied with the professional support by the PHH Team. Pragmatism and goal-oriented drive feature greatly here”, stated Dr. Anton Bondi de Antoni on the involvement of PHH.

The transaction team of PHH Rechtsanwälte consisted of the leading transaction lawyers Rainer Kaspar, Partner, and Philip Rosenauer, Senior Associate, and was supported by Julia Fritz, Partner, and Michael Kutis, Senior Associate, in specific real estate issues.

InterXion was advised by Gassauer-Fleissner Rechtsanwälte under the leadership of Klaus Fischer, Partner, and Leopold Gnesda, Associate.

OTTO Immobilien markets exclusively an area of 86,000 m²

Vienna, 26th August 2020 – Exclusive contract for OTTO Immobilien for the marketing of the Central- and Innovation Hub in the commercial district TwentyOne from Bondi Consult.

Modern offices for the new innovative business campus of Vienna

OTTO Immobilien has been awarded the exclusive contract by Bondi Consult for the marketing of an area of close to 86,000 m² of the Central- and Innovation Hub in the new business district TwentyOne in the 21st district of Vienna. With a floor space of 50,000 m², the project in the Siemensstraße is one of the last large contiguous industrial- and commercial areas of Vienna. The two hubs should be completed by the end of 2022 respectively the middle of 2023 in several phases of construction.

“We are proud to have earned the trust of such a renowned and experienced project developer as Dr. Anton Bondi de Antoni. With their modern spaces, predominantly for offices, but also laboratory, logistics and retail, the two components marketed by us, “Innovation Hub” and “Central Hub”, will contribute significantly towards the enhancement of this new innovative business campus in Vienna”, stressed Patrick Homm MA, Head of Commercial Property Marketing at OTTO Immobilien. Because of its innovative environment the project offers future tenants a lot of interesting potentials in the coming years, stated Homm.

Dominik Erne, BSc from Bondi Consult and Commercial Director of Project TwentyOne, about the decision: “With OTTO Immobilien we have decided in favour of a renowned partner with an international network. In particular the enormous engagement of the motivated team impressed us!”

ÖGNI Gold and best connection to the public transport network

TwentyOne consists of altogether six hubs: Innovation-, Service-, Central-, Student-, Office- and Hotel Hub, whereby the Service Hub has already been realised. In June 2020 the new commercial district was the first project to be awarded the GOLD Certificate by ÖGNI for “Business Campus Version 2020”.

The real estate is situated about 2.5 kilometres north-east of the regional centre of Floridsdorf, close to the newly built hospital Wien-Nord, and stands out with an optimal connection to the public transport network. Bordering directly is the Siemensstraße railway station, which is linked both by the S-Bahn as well as REX, regional trains and bus routes. Also situated in close proximity is the A22 Donauufer motorway, the Floridsdorf intersection, the Nordbrücke as well as the access ramp to the S2. Due to the close proximity to the hospital Nord and to the Vienna University of Veterinary Medicine as well as well-known organisations such as the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), RailTecArsenal, A1, ATOS, Center Vienna, TechBase, Trescal and Biomedica, the developers expect positive synergy effects.

TwentyOne received an ÖGNI GOLD certificate

Vienna, 9 June 2020 – The new business quarter TwentyOne of real estate developer Anton Bondi de Antoni (Bondi Consult) has been awarded by ÖGNI (Austrian Sustainable Building Council) with its first GOLD-certificate for “Business quarters Version 2020”. The certificate was presented last Thursday.

Bondi Consult’s project TwentyOne was assessed by ÖGNI-consultant Michael Jelencsits, Drees & Sommer, based on the 2020 Version for Business quarters, at the end of April 2020. This is the first project to be assessed on the basis of the newest DGNB-standard in Austria with an ÖGNI-GOLD certificate. It served as a pilot project for the DNGB-standard to be adapted for Austria. Going forward, Drees & Sommer will support Bondi Consult in the planning and construction phases regarding certification and sustainability.

The pre-certificate was handed over by Peter Engert, managing director of ÖGNI, to Dominik Erne, commercial manager of Bondi Consult for project TwentyOne.

The project is situated in the heart of Vienna’s 21st district at Siemensstrasse 87-89 and 88 and is one of the few remaining large contiguous business areas of Vienna. The sites with a total area of approx. 50,000 sqms (after a partial sale of land) were initially partitioned into 6 plots. Accordingly, project TwentyOne consists of six hubs: Innovation, Service, Central, Student, Office and Hotel. The Service hub has already been sold by Bondi Consult.

Peter Engert:”The DNGB-system assesses the quality of projects on the basis of all aspects of sustainability during the whole life cycle of buildings. We are pleased to have Bondi Consult with its project TwentyOne as the trendsetter for business quarter certification of Version 2020 in Austria!”

Anton Bondi de Antoni:”Of course, sustainability is very important for our projects, not just a buzzword. We wanted to obtain business quarter certification from the start of the project and are designing and developing the project accordingly.”

Press release March

Business Campus 21, BC21

Bondi Consult is the owner of the property “Siemensgründe” and is developing one of the last large continuous commercial areas in Vienna.

As part of a bidding process, property developer Anton Bondi de Antoni, Bondi Consult, purchased the property in Siemensstraße 87-89 and is thus the owner of the property. The partition plan of the entire plot makes provision for four building sites. Through three project companies, Bondi Consult is thus the non-registered owner of three building parts. Siemens bought the fourth section of the areas directly from the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft.

The BC21, one of the last large continuous commercial areas

The current development of Vienna’s District 21 offers the possibility of benefiting from the growing infrastructure and the future residential and commercial projects planned in the direct vicinity. Especially the geographical closeness to the newly erected Vienna North Hospital and to companies based in the vicinity, such as for example the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), will result in significant synergy effects. 

Anton Bondi de Antoni: “With a total surface area of approx. 48,600 m2and its location in the heart of this development zone, the property in Siemensstraße 87-89 is one of the last large continuous commercial areas zoned for industrial use. In view of its zoning as “industrial area”, any use except for conventional residential use may be implemented.”

Three hubs for the BC21

Theinnovation hub represents the attractive beginning in the western part of the property. It is situated directly at the suburban train station and covers an area of 16,700 m2. A multi-storey garage, a Merkur market and an office building are currently in the design phase.

Theservice hub covers an area of approx. 22,500 m2and thus offers the opportunity for large-scale development. The entire area is still in the planning phase. 

Lastly, the central hub is also still in the development phase. It is directly adjacent to Siemensstraße and, with an area of approx. 9,500 m2, it is ideally suited for individual or mixed use.

New Partition Plan

As part of a bidding process, Bondi Consult has purchased the property in Siemensstraße 87-89 and, through three project companies, is now the unregistered owner of the building sections A, B and D. The new partition plan makes provision for four construction sites. Siemens purchased one part of the areas (construction part C) directly from the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft and is planning to erect warehouses as well as offices or laboratories earmarked for university use on it.

Bondi Consult acquires Siemensgründe

Bondi Consult is awarded the contract for the purchase of the plot “Siemensgründe” situated in Vienna District 21 (Siemensstraße 87 – 89). The property measures 63,000 square metres. The existing zoning will remain unchanged. Offices, garages, warehouse areas etc. are planned.
