Since its completion in 2013, DC Tower 1 has impacted Vienna's skyline with its distinctive and impressive design. The tower was designed by the leading French architect Dominique Perrault. Measuring 250 m in height, DC Tower 1 is a modern landmark of the capital city. The tower houses among others the four stars plus Hotel Melia Vienna. The property has 74.500 m2 of flexible, high-quality hotel and office space, as well as more than 60 stories and 355 parking places. DC Tower 1 was one of the first Austrian office buildings to be constructed and furnished in line with the EU Commission's energy and environmental criteria for a "Green Building".
