Lörrach's housing offensive 2025: Great progress for tenants!
The city of Lörrach has presented the results of its 2025 housing offensive and is satisfied with the progress. The offensive was launched in 2016 and has the ambitious goal of creating 2,500 additional housing units by the end of 2025. To date, 2,267 new housing units have already been approved, meaning the target has almost been reached. Housing construction in Lörrach has increased by over 30 percent in the last decade, indicating a strong commitment to affordable housing and social housing. Lörrach reports.
As part of the 2025 Housing Offensive, a potential model was developed that served as the basis for identifying reserve space and development priorities. The municipal housing association and cooperatives were involved to ensure quality and accessibility. This is intended to help relieve market regulation by creating additional living space. The projects with legally valid development plans are considerable:
| project | Residential units |
|---|---|
| Old Conrad weaving mill | 120 |
| New center of Nordstadt | 248 + 24 rooms |
| Belist in Haagen | 220 |
| Postal area | 59 |
| Mättle in Tumringen | 65 |
| North of Engelplatz | 60 |
| Soormattbach | 22 |
| Lerchenhof | 40 |
| Lingertrain | 12 |
Outlook for the 2035 housing offensive
The city has already prepared the final report on the 2025 housing offensive and is simultaneously launching the 2035 housing offensive. Numerous projects are already being planned, including the extensive projects on the hospital site, the St. Elisabethen Hospital and the Zoll district. These projects are expected to produce several hundred residential units in total, with an additional expectation of 760 to 800 residential units in ongoing processes. Lörrach explains.
The focus of the 2035 housing offensive is not only on activating existing potential, but also on developing new areas. An innovative concept is the development of the parking lot at the Wintersbuckhalle as well as new living concepts on the Lauffenmühle site. In order to speed up the planning and approval process, the so-called “construction turbo” is being introduced. This is intended to help reduce hurdles in construction and planning law and advance construction work more efficiently.
The city has not only focused on quantity, but also on the quality of living space. The increasing need for energy-efficient housing projects and sustainable construction methods is obvious. Collaborations with housing companies, cooperatives and social institutions are sought to ensure a socially balanced housing supply and to meet diverse housing needs.
Overall, Lörrach is showing a clear course into the future with its housing offensive - most likely the coming housing will benefit both investors and tenants and have a lasting impact on the housing market. Lörrach summarizes the measures.
