City. Country. Kisses. This project combines the amenities of urban living with greenery right at your doorstep. Thirteen modern apartments with perfect floor plans and attractive outdoor spaces were created in the west of Graz.
Green kisses City
City. Country. Kisses. is located at the foot of the Plabutsch Recreational Area in the traffic-calmed neighborhood of Eggenberg in Graz and has an almost village-like character and an excellent community infrastructure. With apartment sizes of 45–73 m², the 13 new climate-friendly apartments are aimed primarily at couples, small families, and nature-loving singles of all ages. With high-quality construction and elegant, modern architecture, this is a place made to live well. Carefully designed floor plans and floor-to-ceiling window and door glazing allow plenty of light into the living spaces. In addition to this, appealing private outdoor spaces such as balconies, terraces, and private gardens provide plenty of space to create your own personal oasis of wellbeing.
Play, relax, and take a break with a view of the wide-open sky—that’s the motto here!
LIVING SPACES TO RELAX IN
Perfect for enterprising connoisseurs wanting to start a new chapter from a new home in nature, close to the city, and with a high quality of life.
The apartments are impressive, with modern designs and furnished to contemporary standards. All bathroom amenities are from top brands, solid wood floors and porcelain stoneware have been installed, and all rooms have electronically controlled shade systems. The delightful overall architectural concept flows consistently and harmoniously throughout all indoor and outdoor spaces, always putting the needs of the residents in the foreground. Perfect floor plans create spaces for every lifestyle, meaning that it is possible for everyone to find their ideal home and place to live, enjoy, and relax.
The five covered car parking spaces on the property and ground-floor storage rooms are all discreetly integrated into the building in order to preserve architectural uniformity. Sheltered bicycle parking spaces are located in the greened front garden area of the house. The playground in the shared garden area creates a great place for neighbors to meet.

Klimaaktiv Bronze (ecological standards)
Environmentally conscious and energy-efficient construction methods, along with full compliance with the highest quality requirements of the Austrian federal Klimaaktiv criteria are front and center for planning and construction. For example, we don’t build using conventional EPS panels to insulate but instead use innovative, sustainable, high-performance W.i bricks with integrated thermal insulation. We also take the carbon footprint into account, ensuring that you can live here not only in comfort, but also with a clear conscience.
• Heating and cooling: Groundwater heat pump combined with a photovoltaic system, underfloor heating and cooling with individual room controls in the family rooms
• Thermal heating demand as per energy pass: 28,8 kWh/m²a
• Entire facility is barrier-free
Building schedule
Construction started in August 2021 and the roof level was reached in February 2022. In May 2022, the final purchase agreement was signed! The handover of the apartments to the new owners took place at the end of September 2022.

The Neighborhood
Eggenberg, located west of the Graz city center, is named after the nearby castle, built in 1625, which has weathered the centuries majestically in the middle of an extensive park. The neighborhood is in transition and a focus of the City of Graz’s urban development plan. Historic villas, single and multi-family houses from throughout the decades, hip student dormitories, and in between allotment gardens and extensive greenspace make for a very colorful and varied neighborhood structure. The brisk construction activity of the district can’t be overlooked. Several modern buildings have also been constructed in recent years. With the expansion of the Reininghaus grounds and the development of the old Waagner Biro industrial complex (Smart City Graz), a vibrant densification continues in the immediate vicinity of our much smaller housing project.
Infrastructure
Eggenberg’s infrastructure is excellent. Old trade businesses, small retailers, and larger supermarkets provide everything for daily needs in the immediate vicinity. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, a farmers’ market supplies fresh, local produce. Every first Sunday of the month, the “late-sleeper” flea market can be found at the very same site.
There are a great number of schools: the BORG, the Sisters of Education, the International School, and several elementary schools and kindergartens can be found within a radius of only 800 meters. The modern FH Joanneum campus is also not far away. Here, 3,000 students study in 26 different academic education programs. With three hospitals and numerous medical practices, your health needs are also well cared for.
Due to the brisk urban development of the area, the number of restaurants, leisure opportunities, and shopping facilities is certain to grow along with the social infrastructure.
Transportation
Three stops on Tramline 1 from the Graz main station, the Hauptplatz is only 7 stations, or about 10 minutes, away. And, of course, numerous bike paths lead both towards the city center and into the surrounding region — after all, Graz is one of Austria’s most bicycle-friendly cities. The A2 and A9 highways also take you right to where you want to go.
Activities
A ten-minute walk takes you to Auster, a large sport and spa facility for your bathing pleasure. A fifteen-minute walk brings you to the castle park, the historic gardens of which are very inviting for a jog or leisurely stroll. And stately rooms and changing exhibitions of the baroque palace itself are always worth a visit. The ASKÖ Center is adjacent to this, the perfect spot for sports enthusiasts to let off steam while playing American football, badminton, basketball, football, hockey, track and field, and volleyball. If you’re in the mood for pristine nature, head to the Plabutsch, the local mountain. This nearby recreational area has meadows to picnic in, a tremendous view of Graz, lots of trails for hiking, running, and cycling, and of course several spots to stop in for food and drink. The Helmut List Hall is only a seven-minute walk from our latest residential project. Here you can enjoy a cabaret and musical program catering to all tastes and a broad range of concerts across all styles, both near and far from the mainstream.
At the center
And if you ever want to venture out beyond Eggenberg (or have to), head to the city center, into the urban, ecological, fine dining, and cultural heart of Graz. The historic old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also home to lively contemporary art, design, music, and modern architecture scenes.
- We believe in this project because of its innovative and sustainable implementation and elegant design. We are really excited about our future new home.Roman M.
