"Unique Opportunity": City of Wiener Neustadt Could Snatch Up Former Leiner Site

The city of Wiener Neustadt is on the verge of acquiring the former Leiner site. The purchase price is 15 million euros, the town hall announced in a press release on Tuesday. The contract is to be signed on December 16. There are currently no concrete plans for the 23,184 square meter site. Originally, SÜBA AG wanted to build the "Maximilium am Stadtpark" city quarter there, but due to the company's bankruptcy, this project will not be realized.

"We cannot miss this opportunity"

The final decision will be made in the committees of wnsks GmbH, in the municipal council on December 15, and in the final negotiations with the creditor bank and the previous owner company, it was said. "We now have the unique opportunity to acquire ownership of these so important properties. We cannot miss this opportunity to be able to decide for ourselves what happens there in the future," said Mayor Klaus Schneeberger (ÖVP), Second Deputy Mayor State Parliament Member Rainer Spenger (SPÖ), and City Councilor State Parliament Member Philipp Gerstenmayer (FPÖ).

The aim, according to the press release, is to analyze usage options for the city over the course of the coming year and then decide on the next steps. TU Wien (Department of Real Estate Development and Project Management) is taking on this topic on its own initiative and without obligation as part of a course.
