With construction of the last section of RIVUS Vivere beginning at the start of February 2021, the large-scale RIVUS project is nearing completion. In the interest of sustainability, use of the existing space is optimal, from numerous playgrounds and green areas to underground garages, a swimming pool on one rooftop and a sports ground on another – reason enough to take a closer look at the quarter and its special features with head of project development at BUWOG, Michael Herbek.
In April 2020, the takeover of Hessian project developer Bien-Ries was completed, and the integration is now moving along.

BUWOG has been supporting AMINA’s project “A Home for Street Children in Senegal” since 2014. The completion of the home was celebrated in April. That means as many as 150 children forced to live and/or beg on the street to live as a result of poverty will receive daily hot meals, medical care, literacy courses and vocational training.
