Eco-settlement Friedrichsdorf

Published

61381 Friedrichsdorf: 70,000 m² of gross building land not far from Frankfurt were developed into a residential quarter. The winner of a multi-stage selection process by the city of Friedrichsdorf, which was accompanied by NH ProjektStadt, was the FRANK Group, which developed the eco-settlement together with the Baufrösche architecture firm. Completion: 2021

In addition to integrated urban development, the project pays special attention to ecological aspects of construction, energy efficiency and energy supply. A local heating network is being built, with an ice store at its centre. E-mobility is another topic, so two e-cars will enable carpooling for the residents. The flat roofs will be extensively greened.

Realised were:
- 350 flats in 150 buildings on 7 ha for approx. 700 people
- Wooden residential tower (realised?), terraced and semi-detached houses, condominiums, rental flats, senior flats
- Total investment volume of 125 million euros

Construction process:
Development: from spring 2017
Start of building construction: autumn 2017
Move in: from 2019
Start of second construction phase: 2019
Planned completion: 2021
