Foundation | Micro-Living | Kaufering | 17. Mai 2018

Kaufering is currently building two buildings for 60 micro apartments. In the summer of next year, residents can move in. Yesterday the foundation stone was laid

This market is growing almost unchecked worldwide: furnished small apartments. Especially companies, managers, commuters, students, trainees, singles and young adults are interested in it. They all seek affordable, furnished living space in a good location - not just in the big city. And so the interested parties are queuing up at the Landsberg real estate company Inventus.blue, which wants to acquire one of the 60 micro apartments not far from the Kauferinger station. Yesterday morning, the symbolic foundation stone was laid on the construction site.

Peter Kerler is a native of Landsberg and, together with Heide Groz, managing director and owner of Inventus.blue. For over ten years he has been working on micro-apartments, building buildings in Bremen, Lübeck and Hanover with over 300

"The demand is great."

Apartments. "Demand is big," he says. For two and a half years, he has had his eye on the site in Bahnhofstrasse in Kaufering. At first he thought of townhouses and apartment buildings before he discovered the area for "micro-living". The key to success had been a simple trick. The two buildings with arcades were arranged in L-shape. This could make all the apartments facing south or west.

Since January, Kerler and Groz have the planning permission in their pockets. First, the ground was freed of contaminated sites, currently the foundations are concreted. With the laying of the cornerstone, according to Kerler, the retail sale of the apartments begins. On the ground floor there are 23 apartments with 25 square meters, upstairs 23 with 21 square meters and French balcony and attic units with 28 square meters and two with 49 square meters each with roof terrace.

The purchase price for a furnished apartment starts at 135,000 euros. Kerler wants to rent a part of the apartments themselves. As a monthly cold rent hover him about 450 euros. The apartments in the attic are completely accessible, and there are communal facilities such as storage and washing machine rooms. There are 50 parking spaces in the underground car park, 16 above ground and 120 parking spaces for bicycles.

In the apartments, which should be completed in the summer of next year, the residents should arrive, unpack and feel at home immediately. "Together with an architectural psychologist, the architectural team has developed a modern living concept," says Peter Kerler. The aim was to create different room zones in an apartment. With flexible furniture and a handful of twelve handles, various rooms could be formed, such as cooking / eating, work in the home office, living and sleeping.

Kaufering's mayor Bärbel Wagener-Bühler sees the micro apartments as an ideal solution for single households and Landsberg Mayor Mathias Neuner is an exciting project in which the city can look its own. "We need something like that urgently," he said yesterday at the laying of the foundation stone.This Market is growing almost unchecked worldwide: furnished small apartments.
