Together with the existing tree population along Marischkapromenade and Menzelstraße,
the existing buildings in the villa and castle typology form the special atmosphere of Neu Leopoldau.
No other new urban development area matches this atmosphere and its existing buildings.
These buildings also contribute a great potential for the further development of Neu Leopoldau,
since they offer much space and room for non-residential uses and can thus sustainably revitalize the neighborhood.
At the end of 2020, the owners put up for sale nine existing buildings as an ensemble.
Building site C features an unused hall building with industrial previous use for gas distribution. It is of solid brick construction with a roof structure of steel truss, wooden cladding, and stenciled roofing. The building in Heimatstil forms on a rectangular ground plan achieves its spatial impression mainly by its considerable dimensions of about 80 x 20m. The roof construction has a particularly imposing effect.
