"Approval granted for the Hogschlag new building project, which will see the construction of 93 new homes in the town of Wedel"
In the district of Wedel, located on the western fringe of Hamburg, a significant new building project is set to commence. The 'Hogschlag' project, which has faced criticism from some residents due to concerns about traffic and building density, has been approved by the city of Wedel's planning committee after more than six years of planning.
The first phase of the project, scheduled to begin in early 2026, will see the construction of 43 rental units. Access to these units will be via a newly developed intersection on the B431, aiming to relieve the neighbourhood. The first units could be occupied by the end of 2027.
The 'Hogschlag' project includes the construction of six multi-family houses with a total of 93 units. These units will range from two- to four-room units, with sizes between 50 and 120 square meters. The project will also feature underground parking spaces, outdoor parking spaces, and charging points for e-mobility.
Infrastructure costs for the 'Hogschlag' project will amount to more than 690,000 euros, making it the highest sum in infrastructure costs for a new building project in Wedel to date. The project will meet the energy standard A/A+ and will partly be equipped with ground source heat pumps. Almost all units will be barrier-free.
Despite criticism, Rehder Wohnungsbau, the project's developer, has agreed to maintain the tradition of providing at least 30% of residential space publicly funded. The CEO of Rehder Wohnungsbau has criticised the model for setting wrong incentives and making affordable projects more difficult.
With the 'Hogschlag' project, Rehder Wohnungsbau will have created 147 subsidized units in Wedel, making them the most active developer of subsidized housing in the city. However, the most active developer of state-subsidized units in Wedel is not explicitly named in the provided search results.
Two further phases, each with 25 rental and 25 owner-occupied units, will follow. The complete completion of the 'Hogschlag' project is expected to take at least until 2028.
