Sustainability in focus: eco-friendly energy supply

The new staff residence of Schmittenhöhebahn AG features an environmentally-friendly energy system, with a state-of-the-art heat pump providing energy-efficient underfloor heating.

A 352-square-metre photovoltaic system on the roof – with an impressive output of 75 kilowatts peak (kWp) – generates eco-friendly electricity, powering the building and in-house EV-charging stations for cars and bikes.

Interesting fact: Schmittenhöhebahn AG aims to achieve the ‘klimaaktiv Gold’ standard with this project, the highest Austrian standard for sustainable construction.

Leisure and community spaces: from a rooftop terrace to fitness facilities

Beyond private flats, the building offers several communal spaces for leisure activities. The rooftop terrace, complete with a lush rooftop garden, is a favourite gathering spot during the warmer months. Residents also have access to a laundry room equipped with four washing machines, and plans are underway for a fitness area.

Strategic location with first-class infrastructure

The staff residence not only boasts excellent amenities but also an incredibly advantageous location. The areitXpress valley station and Schmittenhöhebahn AG’s main office are just a short walk away. In addition, the building features:

a 280 m² warehouse
an 80 m² seminar room for in-house academy courses

Conclusion: modern living for the Schmitten team
