New construction mono­pol491

Project description

In 2018, WBG Urbanes Wohnen St. Jobst GmbH acquired the land of the former brandy monopoly from the Institute for Federal Real Estate (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben, or BImA). In a workshop process, several planning offices simultaneously developed the basis for an urban development framework plan. In 2020, the existing building was demolished and the existing track and technical facilities were dismantled.

In 2021, excavation and shoring with the substructure of the new access road was carried out in addition to implementing the transformer and gas station.

Construction work for the 2nd and 3rd construction phase started in 2022. The publicly subsidised flats should be ready for occupancy in 2025. This will be followed by the other construction phases.
As of today, the construction of a total of around 500 rental flats is planned. Of these, 180 publicly subsidised residential units are planned, which will be built as standardised houses. An ideas and realisation competition was held in 2021 for the privately financed residential units. The winner was announced on 6 March 2021.

In the interest of district development, a children’s facility and commercial units are planned, among other things. Spaces for artists are to be created, primarily in the existing buildings.

Two plots of land on the northern and south-eastern edges of the site will also be included in the district development. On the northern edge is a plot belonging to the Aldi company. This company is planning a new building that will continue to house an Aldi supermarket on the ground floor and an addition of around 60 residential units on the upper floors.

The plot at the south-eastern end (currently a car dealer) is part of the planning of the area. wbg plans to build another 40 or so residential units here.
