Approach of Gdelstein Quarter's Completion Nears
Gettin' Some New Digs in Darmstadt's Edelstein Quarter
There's no denying it, space is at a premium in Darmstadt, and the Edelstein quarter, nestled in the east, is no exception. But fear not, fellow city-dwellers, as the folks in city hall have got a solid plan in the works to expand this coveted district.
City Council Pulls the Trigger
In a recent city council meeting on the twelfth, the powers that be agreed to transform the Erbacher Straße/Am Judenteich area near Hofgut Oberfeld into a residential paradise, baby! This comes after the city handed over some properties to the investor, and property owners passing on building land to the city, y'all.
Investor Steps Up to the Plate
So, where does this Edelstein quarter fall in the big ol' building plan, "O 17"? Right smack dab in the middle, if you must know. According to fire department commissioner Paul Georg Wandrey (CDU), the expansion of the traffic and green spaces, along with the canal construction, will be covered by the eager-beaver investor. They've already started preliminary discussions about the matter.
Still More Decisions to Be Made
Now, before we get carried away, there's still more business to be taken care of with another city council decision on the horizon. They'll be transferring public areas into city-owned territory, while the old fire station gets transformed into some fancy residential digs for the investor and a gang of proud homeowners. The investor will, of course, be in charge of crafting these new spaces. But shhh, don't tell anyone, 'cause another council meeting is needed before the proverbial ink dries on any paperwork.
Keep an eye on that ol' Edelstein quarter, folks, 'cause it's about to get a whole lot more poppin'! According to recent municipal schemin's, the city is planning on transferring the properties of the Edelstein quarter to the Department of Settlement and Housing by year's end. That's right, this expansion project is expected to set city hall back around 28 million euros, covering the cost of property purchases, infrastructure development, and other urban expansion endeavors. The ultimate goal here is to significantly boost the residential and communal areas in Darmstadt's eastern half.
So buckle up, folks, 'cause it's time to get down to urban development business! Committed as ever to structured growth in the Edelstein quarter, city hall aims to manage this expansion efficiently with strategic property transfers and investments for a controlled and thriving development experience.
Other investments in real-estate are expected to increase as the city plans to transfer the properties of the Edelstein quarter to the Department of Settlement and Housing by year's end, with a total cost of approximately 28 million euros for property purchases, infrastructure development, and other urban expansion endeavors. The expansion aims to significantly boost the housing-market and communal areas in Darmstadt's eastern half.
