New residential area in Offenbach: 2000 apartments for the city!

in Offenbach, the ABG Group plans to buy the area at the KWU towers, which was previously owned by the Adler Group. The renovation should create a new residential area for around 2,000 people. This is considered urgently necessary because the living space in the Frankfurt area is very limited. According to op-online , the existing structural ensemble is likely to be torn down as very bad.

As part of the first plans, four large apartment blocks and three towers are planned. The new apartment blocks should be eight -storey and 25.5 meters high. A planned tower for student apartments will include 18 floors, while two other residential towers should be 19 floors each. In the long term, 12.4 percent of the units are planned for subsidized living space, which is below the desired quota of 30 percent.

planned infrastructure

The subsidized apartments thus include a total of 13,577 square meters, while the student apartments are 11,340 square meters. The rest of the living space in the project amounts to 95,573 square meters. A supermarket with an area of 2,085 square meters and a parking garage with 11,942 square meters, which will offer 385 parking spaces, are also integrated into the planning. The northeastern block is intended for offices on an area of 5,653 square meters, while a daycare center with 1,572 square meters on the ground floor is to find space in the southwestern apartment block. A total of around 690 parking spaces are required for the neighborhood.

The design advisory board has already expressed concerns about the possible shading and noise protection. It should also be noted that the ABG intends to apply the old parking space statute that reduces the number of mandatory parking spaces.

context and challenges

The planned construction project underlines the acute need for affordable living space in Germany, such as BMWSB In Germany, there are always new challenges due to increased building interest rates, limited availability of building land and material bottlenecks. These make it difficult to create living space, especially for students. According to estimates, between 3,000 and 4,000 students in the Frankfurt area are currently waiting for affordable accommodation. However, the ABG Group is optimistic about the implementation of student living at the Kaiserlei.

The state of Hesse and the cities of Frankfurt and Offenbach work closely together to clarify the open questions in the construction and housing industry and to improve the infrastructure. Key players such as the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main are integrated into the planning and express progress in this way.

In combination with the federal funding programs, an attempt is made to meet the need for climate -friendly and affordable living space. The Federal Ministry of Living, Urban Development and Building provides for a total of 21.65 billion euros from 2022 to 2028 to promote social living space.
