Rostock is planning a new residential area - future vision at the shipyard triangle!

at the shipyard triangle in downtown Rostock is big! A new residential area is being built on an area of ​​around ten soccer fields, which not only offers space for around 700 apartments, but is also to be a real model area for northeastern Germany. On this historically stressed area, which was used for the construction of aircraft during the Nazi period and later belonging to the Neptune shipyard, citizens have been waiting for subsequent use for more than 25 years. Now the municipal housing company Wiro shows what modern residential construction can look like that creates a lively and affordable environment. According to nordkurier.de, the investment is estimated to be over 200 million euros, which has a dimension that is second to none in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

An outstanding feature of the project is the planned infrastructure. In addition to the apartments, a spacious park - two hectares - includes the playgrounds and a watercourse. The Kayenmühlengraben is renatured and moved to the surface. Two parking garages as well as shops and restaurants are to round off the entire project. The traffic concept provides for an almost car -free quarter in which vehicles are parked with parking garages on the edges. This should not only increase the quality of life, but also contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. This sets a clear focus on green spaces and regenerative energies, as the [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/themen/nachhalthaft-strategies-internationales/planungs instruments/ Umweltslonsend-raumplanung) emphasized.

A living living area is created

The development plan for the shipyard triangle was decided by the Rostock citizens in the summer of 2020, and the detailed planning began quickly. The design, which shapes the architectural basics of the new district, comes from the renowned architecture firm Albert Wimmer from Vienna. Citizens were included in the planning phase at an early stage-their wishes and needs flowed into the concept in discussion events and neighborhood walks. This shows that urban development has an open ear for the population, as can be seen in other places in the [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundeamt.de/themen/nachhalthaft-strategies-internationales/planungs- instruments/ Umweltschonende-raumplanung).

Before it gets serious, the building permit for the first of five construction fields must come. Five houses with more than 160 apartments, an office building and an parking garage are planned. The Wiro expects to receive approval for development planning in spring 2024, so that construction could still be possible in the current year. However, progress depends on the development of construction costs and interest as well as possible public subsidies, such as the information from housing search.wiro.de.

a plan with foresight

The challenges of urban development should not be underestimated: it is important to meet residential needs, to promote healthy employment relationships and at the same time to observe environmentally and climate-protecting measures. The planned quarters are to combine all of these requirements and be designed. "The development of a lively and livable settlement," says the approach, will shape the character of the neighborhood and give the residents a completely new attitude to life. The vision is clear: a compact, functional district, which combines urban green and public freedom in harmonious harmony.

Overall, this project will be expected to redefine housing in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. According to estimates, the construction will take up to ten years, but the idea of ​​a lively, modern city center on the shipyard triangle alone is already making a strong sign for the future of Rostock.
