Kai-Palast, Vienna, Residential and commercial building in Vienna, Austria
The Kai-Palast stood at Franz-Josefs-Kai 47, featuring a reinforced concrete structure that defined early twentieth-century architectural development in Vienna.
Completed in 1911 under architect Ignaz Reiser's direction, the Kai-Palast marked Austria's first office high-rise constructed with reinforced concrete technology.
The building remained a protected architectural monument from its completion until 1999, representing the evolution of Vienna's urban landscape.
Following structural assessments revealing fire damage from 1945, the building underwent demolition in 2001, making way for the modern k47 structure.
During its final demolition phase, all intermediate ceilings from the sixth floor collapsed simultaneously to ground level without causing injuries.
