Thirty-two new residential units slated for construction in Lupinenfeld, Dusseldorf's Lichtenbroich neighborhood.
New Energy-Efficient Residential Buildings Coming to Düsseldorf's Lupinenfeld
The Düsseldorf Building and Savings Cooperative (DuBS) is set to construct two new residential buildings in the Lupinenfeld area of Lichtenbroich. These buildings will be energy-efficient, barrier-free, and will offer a variety of living spaces.
Cooperative Principles and Sustainability
DuBS operates according to cooperative principles, focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency. The new buildings will feature green roofs, a photovoltaic system, and smart building technology. Residents will be able to digitally control lighting and heating and monitor their energy consumption.
Affordable Housing
In line with the appeal for more affordable housing by Alexander Rychter, director of the Association of Housing Industry Rhineland-Westphalia (VdW), DuBS is implementing a socially balanced rent model in the Lupinenfeld. Another 20% of the apartments will have subsidized rents, and the remaining 22 apartments will be privately financed, but their rents will still be below the average for new construction in Düsseldorf.
Living Spaces and Amenities
The apartments will offer 3,200 square meters of living space and range from one to four rooms to accommodate different family sizes. Each apartment will feature balconies, terraces, or gardens. The completion of the 32 apartments is scheduled for the end of 2025, with marketing for the apartments starting in summer 2025.
Accessibility and Inclusion
The buildings will be barrier-free, ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities or limited mobility. The first tenants are expected to move in by January 2026.
Cost and Completion Timeline
While the exact cost of the project is not yet available, similar projects in Düsseldorf have had budgets in the range of €10 million to €20 million. The construction timeline is around 18 to 24 months, with many recent projects in this area targeting completion in late 2024 or early 2025.
The topping-out ceremony was attended by construction and project partners, representatives of the city, and the housing industry. The new buildings are located on Volkardeyer Weg. For precise, up-to-date information on this specific Lupinenfeld project, especially official cost and completion dates, local government or housing authority websites for Düsseldorf would be the best sources.
Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller emphasized that the new construction in the Lupinenfeld is making a valuable contribution to more affordable housing in the city. The apartments will be marketed from summer onwards. The first tenants are expected to move in by January 2026.
