Forty-one modern and budget-friendly housing units introduced in Solingen

Solingen, a city in Germany known for its rich industrial history, is set to welcome a new residential development that aims to fill a central construction gap on the edge of the city centre. The project, which is being funded by a loan of 11.3 million euros from NRW-Bank, is being carried out by an investor who is constructing 41 apartments in total.

The modern, high-quality, and affordable apartments are being built to meet the latest climate and energy efficiency standards, ensuring a sustainable living environment. Thirty-three of these apartments will be subject to a public binding for the next 30 years, and they can be occupied by persons who are eligible for a "housing entitlement certificate".

The development at the former Birker Bad is urgently needed, according to Mayor Andreas Budde, who has issued the approval decision for the construction project. The apartments are designed to be barrier-free, making them accessible to all residents.

Mayor Budde described the development as driving the city forward, filling a much-needed gap in the city's housing market. The project is part of Solingen's broader initiatives related to sustainability through the In4Green network, a collaborative effort among European cities to transform industrial areas into more sustainable environments.

While specific details about the progress of the project are not yet available, the focus on climate action, urban planning, and improving local governance through the In4Green network suggests that the new apartments will meet certain environmental and efficiency standards. For more detailed information about residential developments in Solingen, it is recommended to consult local real estate or municipal resources directly.
