Construction Start for Vienna's New Security Center in Favoriten

The symbolic groundbreaking on Monday marked the start of a new security center in Vienna-Favoriten, which will unite four departments of the Vienna State Police Directorate under one roof in the future. The location at Gudrunstraße 192 is expected to be ready for occupancy by 2027 and will offer a modern working environment on approximately 15,000 square meters of usable space. The project is being realized by the RAINER Group in collaboration with the HABAU GROUP.

Security Center Gudrunstraße New Home for Four Police Departments

The affected departments – including the Van-der-Nüll-Gasse police station, the police commissariat, the Favoriten city police command, and the southern branch of the state criminal investigation department – are currently housed in a building in Van-der-Nüll-Gasse that is in urgent need of renovation. According to the Ministry of the Interior, this building no longer meets the requirements of a modern office building.

In the future, the LPD Vienna will use three floors as the main tenant, as well as parking spaces and ancillary rooms in the new building. The police were involved in the planning phase from the beginning to optimally adapt the workflows to the new conditions.

"More Security for Vienna and Favoriten"

Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) emphasized the security policy significance of the project: "More security for Vienna and Favoriten is the clear goal. Therefore, we are continuing the personnel offensive and modernizing the infrastructure." The groundbreaking is an "important step for optimal working conditions" for the executive.

Chief of Police Gerhard Pürstl also spoke of a forward-looking project: "Modern infrastructure is the foundation for effective, citizen-oriented, and contemporary police work. I am pleased that we can create optimal conditions for several departments at this location."

With the opening of the new security center in autumn 2027, the relocation of the current locations in Van-der-Nüll-Gasse will also be completed.
