Building complex in transition

The LiWa Bau GmbH was commissioned with the construction measures for the conversion of three neighboring commercial properties in Rüsselsheim. In addition to new apartments, a former hotel and a kindergarten are to be built in the former office buildings.

The number of apartments completed in 2018, at 285,900, is compared to the estimated need of 350,000. The Ifo Institute in Munich even sees demand for up to 400,000 residential units. In addition, building land in densely populated Germany is not available to a sufficient extent. This situation allows the construction industry to look for alternative solutions. Increasing, re-compacting and re-using existing buildings are currently the most promising ways to tackle housing shortages.

In the outdoor area, the transformation continues. In addition to a playground, a football field and a basketball court are planned here. For the necessary rest of the residents will provide an additional noise barrier. A small feature of this extensive project in the Eisenstraße, is finally the installation of a modern daycare on the ground floor of one of the three buildings.
