Four teams of star architects have been working, since the end of the 1990's, on converting four 102-year-old gasometers into a new urban complex. The 22,000 m2 ground floor of the gasometer complex has a shopping mall with about 70 shops and it houses about 615 modern flats as well as an events hall holding 4,200 people. The gigantic size of this construction project is illustrated by the fact that Vienna's Giant Ferris Wheel would easily fit into each of the four 75-metre high gasometers.
