Rostock's Wiro: 700 new apartments against the housing shortage!
In Rostock, a lot is happening on the housing market! The largest housing company in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Wiro, has ambitious plans to relax the tense living situation. The construction of around 700 new apartments is planned, with the start of the external development of the district on the shipyard triangle, which is on the plan for 2025. This is reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung .
But the company has even more in the pipeline. In addition to the 700 new units, there are another 500 new construction projects. These initiatives are necessary because the challenges due to increasing construction and energy prices and higher interest rates do not make the situation easier. It remains to be seen how future social housing development will develop.
positive balance sheet despite challenges
Over 70,000 tenants live in around 35,000 Wiro apartments, which corresponds to about a third of the entire Rostock population. Despite the tense location on the market, the vacancy is under one percent as manageable. The average rent is 6.54 euros per square meter and has increased by 3.5 percent compared to the previous year - a fact that many Rostock households presented with challenges. According to the census survey, the average rent in Rostock was 6.70 euros per square meter in mid-2022.
new construction projects: A look at the future
One of the largest new construction projects is this in Möllner Straße, where a total of 318 barrier apartments are to be completed by autumn 2023. This initiative is funded by the KfW program 153. Another example of active housing is the planned residential building in Warnowallee 23a with 67 apartments, 63 of which are to be socially supported and its expected reference skills in autumn 2025.
like Ralf Zimlich, chairman of the Wiro management, emphasizes, the new construction of freely financed projects at affordable prices is difficult. The necessary monthly net rents per square meter are not portable for many households. Therefore, the Wiro also plans to buy ready -made houses from other project developers to close the gap in the housing stock.
funding offers and social living space supply
The challenges that the housing market currently brings with it are also actively addressed by the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The State Government promotes qualitative living space and tries to keep social housing costs stable. Interest-free loans with repayment will be provided to promote the creation of rental price and occupancy-bound apartments. These measures are intended to help reduce the pressure on the housing markets in the central locations.
The funding is particularly important because funded apartments have a occupancy of 40 years and are therefore available for the owner of a residential authorization certificate (WBS). Here, too, there are prerequisites for income limits that must not be exceeded. The city administration issues the required WBS on request.
In summary, it can be said that the housing market in Rostock is on the move. Despite the challenges, the Wiro shows with its dedicated new building program and the funded residential projects that a positive signal for the population is set. The coming years will show how housing construction can contribute to relaxing the situation.| Details | |
