Something is happening at Salzburg Main Station: The state service center for up to 1200 employees is being built there. The ARGE Swietelsky-Habau, as the general contractor, will complete this major project by the end of 2026.
Experienced ARGE takes the lead
Swietelsky-Habau has been awarded the contract for the project, which costs 195 million euros net. The ARGE stands out particularly for its expertise in timber hybrid construction, acquired through Swietelsky NL OÖ Hochbau in pilot projects such as the ÖGK Tower in Salzburg and the MIC office building in Linz.
The groundbreaking for the construction will take place soon
Construction work on the state service center has just begun with initial preparatory work on a 10,000 square meter site. The official groundbreaking will take place in January 2024, and the project managers expect the center to be completed by the end of 2026.
13 floors rise into the sky
Once the demolition work is completed, the civil engineering work for the underground garage will begin. Subsequently, the thirteen-story building will rise step by step.
Haslauer emphasizes economic boost
Governor Wilfried Haslauer sees the project not only as a modern administrative building but also as a central service point and a stimulus for the construction industry in economically challenging times.
Technical masterpiece: Salzburg – Berlin
The state service center impresses with immense dimensions: 700 kilometers of electrical cables, equivalent to the distance from Salzburg to Berlin, and 4500 swiveling photovoltaic panels on the facade demonstrate the scale of the construction project.
Key figures of the forward-looking building
The administrative building consists of 13 floors, a net usable area of 50,000 square meters, and is based on timber hybrid construction. With 17,200 steps, 13 elevators, about 1,800 doors, and a cafeteria that prepares up to 800 meals daily, as well as 285 bored piles that reach 40 meters deep into the ground, the building stands for innovation and sustainability.
