Parkapartments am Belvedere, Residential complex near Belvedere Palace, Vienna, Austria

Parkapartments am Belvedere is a complex of five towers in Vienna's Favoriten district: three residential towers with 342 condominiums and two buildings housing the 303-room Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere hotel. Designed by Renzo Piano, the towers stand on columns that lift the first windows to nine metres above street level, above the treetops of the Schweizergarten. The facade combines aluminium, glass and ceramic, its light grey shifting from grey to reddish or bluish depending on the light.

The complex was built starting in 2010 on the site of the former Südbahnhof railway station as part of transforming the old rail area into residential neighborhoods. This development marked the beginning of major urban renewal that reshaped the southern surroundings of Belvedere.

The complex is named after the nearby Belvedere Palace, whose grounds, along with the Schweizergarten and Botanical Garden, border the site. Architect Renzo Piano designed the supporting columns to echo the trunks of the large trees in these surrounding parks, lifting the buildings above the treetops.

Apartments start at 46 square meters and feature private outdoor spaces such as terraces, balconies, or loggias. The location offers good access to public transportation and lies within easy reach of parks and Belvedere Palace.

The buildings rise nine meters above street level, offering residents and visitors unobstructed views above the treetops toward Vienna's central landmarks. This elevated position creates an unexpected cityscape perspective from within a residential setting.
