## Architecture

The tower is located in the 22nd district of Vienna of Donaustadt. It was built between 1996 and 1998 according to plans by Wilhelm Holzbauer as the first building in the new district of Donau City. It was named after the figure [Andromeda](/source/Andromeda_(mythology)) from Greek mythology.[3]

The developer was WED Wiener Entwicklungsgesellschaft für den Donauraum AG, which sold the building to [Billa](/source/Billa_(supermarket)) founder [Karl Wlaschek](/source/Karl_Wlaschek) for a reported 57 million euros after completion. While the basement floors house shops, service companies and restaurants, the upper floors house offices. Tenants include the Permanent Missions of Japan and Austria to International Organizations, the computer company Unisys, ATB AG and [General Electric](/source/General_Electric).[4]

The Andromeda Tower has a floor area of 34,450 m2 (371,000 sq ft), spread over 29 floors. Its roof height is 103.5 meters, and including the antennas it measures 113 meters. This makes it one of the tallest buildings in Vienna.[5]
