The IZD Tower (IZD = International Center Donaustadt) is an office building in Donau City in Vienna . The architectural association NFOG (Nigst, Fonatti, Ostertag, Gaisrucker) provided the draft up to the building permit for the 150 meter high building. Architect Thomas Feiger took over the further overall planning and construction management. Construction began in 1998 and the building was completed around three years later. It is used by rental offices; The main tenants of the IZD Tower include ÖBB Personenverkehr AG , the Embassy of the United States of America and Colgate-Palmolive . The total rental area on 42 floors is 63,530 m². The highest floor is 130 m above the ground; the roof height is 137 m. The IZD Tower is one of the tallest structures in Vienna .
In 2006 the British real estate fund Matrix Securities acquired the building from the investment company Doughty Hanson & Co for 244 million euros. In 2010 Signa took over the high-rise.
The US Mission to the United Nations is quartered on the top floor of the IZD Tower . In the course of the surveillance and espionage affair in 2013 , it is suspected that a listening post of the National Security Agency (NSA) is located there, who can observe the UN City , which is only 40 meters away . In September 2014, photos came to the press showing special structures on the roof of the tower.
The IZD Tower staircase run has been held every September since 2005 . Depending on the accessibility of the top floors, you walk up to the 34th or 35th floor, which corresponds to around 630 steps. The record time is currently (2014) at 3: 07.20 min.
