Residential Construction Project in Dortmund, Germany

Strategic Insights -

The City of Dortmund is set to create additional living space in various construction phases, with a key component being the three-point houses on Stettiner Strasse in the Horde district. The development plan, Ho 273, which was approved on July 16, 2021, provides the framework for this project. The development aims to create a transition from the adjacent residential area to the green space by incorporating three point houses, two of which are identical in size. The buildings will have three full floors and a penthouse that is set back at least 1.20 m around, with a maximum height of 9.00 m for the full floors. In consultation with the city planning office, a deviation from the specifications will be made to allow for increased room height and flood protection.
