The load-bearing structure of the existing Praterstern station is used for the new, 15-metre-high glazed hall that links Venediger Au and Praterstrasse as one large-scale distribution level between Underground, trains and private car traffic. Three structures housing shops and stores dock onto a passage leading to the avenue Prater Hauptallee.

Austria’s highest building, the 202-metre Millennium Tower with its layout composed of two intersecting circles, was completed within an extremely short period and at a very low net construction cost. The 50 storeys of the tower – exclusively destined for office use – with swanky top floors rise from the publicly accessible, three-storey Millennium City shopping mall.
