01Overview

42 subsidized rental apartments and a local retail area in the new Nordstadt-Kurzgewann neighborhood—planned, managed, and built by a single developer, and affordable in the long term thanks to a 40-year rent-control agreement.

In Ladenburg, between Mannheim and Heidelberg, the new Nordstadt-Kurzgewann neighborhood is taking shape. On construction sites 3 and 4, directly on the boulevard, MKE Munich Investment has completed the Neugraben residential complex: two buildings with 42 subsidized rental apartments, a retail unit on the ground floor to serve the local community, and a shared underground parking garage.

MKE managed the project as the project developer, builder, and investor—from the initial concept through planning and contracting to handover. Clear processes and centralized management ensure that schedules and costs remain predictable. Thanks to funding from L-Bank, the apartments are subject to a 40-year rent control agreement; they are available to households with a housing eligibility certificate—because quality of life should not be a luxury.

The 1- to 3-room apartments are designed for young couples, families, and seniors. Features include underfloor heating, bathrooms with natural light and walk-in showers, elevators, and terraces and gardens on the ground floor. The complex is built to the KfW Efficiency House 55 standard using solid construction methods and is heated by district heating.

The residential complex is characterized by buildings structured with projections and recesses, a small plaza at the corner of the commercial area, and landscaped outdoor spaces.
