Giles Hannah, Director of Sales at Christie’s International Real Estate says, “This is a unique modern property in the most sought after, iconic area of Vienna. The property views are simply the best and the interplay between history and modern design make this property highly appealing to those discerning luxury property investors.”

“Vienna also known as the city of Music & Dreams has been enjoying a strong property market with prices continuously rising by 2.5% on a quarterly basis and expected to continue rising during 2012, this is mainly due to the increasing demand for safe tangible assets and the lack of new properties on offer” he adds.
