The real estate developer Aurelis is starting development work in Quartier 4.0, where 300 apartments and businesses are to be built in the future. The city will build a high school on the site.
The first construction site vehicles are already on the former site of the freight yard in the east of Offenbach. At the beginning of the week, the project developer, Aurelis Real Estate GmbH from Eschborn, started the development work for the urban development project “Quartier 4.0” on Untere Grenzstrasse (B43). In the first step, 800 meters of traffic area, which corresponds to around 11,000 square meters, is to be created by summer 2022. The former subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn has specialized in converting fallow land – primarily from Deutsche Bahn’s holdings – into building land.
Six-class high school
“The development of this decade-long fallow land is important for the city in order to use the area profitably,” says planning department head Paul Gerhard Weiß (FDP). It is one of the key projects in the 2030 master plan. 300 residential units, commercial space for 650 jobs, a park, a multi-storey car park, a daycare center and a high school are to be built on an area of around 85,000 square meters.
The area was unused for almost 25 years, and last November the city council approved the development of the former freight yard. “Things have now started to move because living space is needed and, in this case, commercial shares are also planned,” says Weiß. The same was agreed with the CG group at the Kaiserlei.
Right next to it, the Goethe Quarter has arisen on a much longer fallow area. Modern digital manufacturing companies or service providers for production are to be located on the site in the east of Offenbach. The associated service and additional facilities are to be offered for this purpose.
Of the 300 apartments on a gross floor area of 31,000 square meters, 20 percent will be subsidized. The usual 30 percent was waived because the city bought a building area of 9,500 square meters from the project developer Aurelis for 2.6 million euros in order to build a six-class high school there.
“This is an ideal location,” says Weiß, who is also the head of the school department. It is perfectly connected to the S-Bahn, all bus lines and, in the future, also to all cycle paths. The urban development competition for the fourth city-sponsored grammar school is to begin soon. In the coming years, the city expects a strong increase in school students. A day-care center for 75 to 100 children is to be integrated into a residential building, similar to the one in Senefelderquartier.
For the “Gleispark”, the citizens should contribute their ideas for the design of the green areas as soon as the plans take concrete form. The traffic areas should be completed by the end of 2026. Aurelis has already sold the first two residential building lots to Wilma-Wohnen Süd. The first apartments could be ready in 2024 at the earliest.
