Topping-out ceremony in Barmbek-Süd: 89 new apartments for all generations!

Barmbek-Süd, Hamburg, Deutschland - In Barmbek-Süd there will soon be more affordable living space. On July 8, 2025, the SAGA group of companies celebrated the topping -out ceremony for a new residential project that is being built on the site of a former bus farm. Two new residential buildings are planned on Elsastraße and Mesterkamp, ​​which will offer a total of 89 subsidized apartments. This initiative is an important sign of the creation of living space in the Hamburg metropolitan region, in which more space is urgently needed for the population, especially for people with low and medium income. The Saga-Bentreme Snezana Michaelis emphasizes that the use of this central conversion area for affordable living space is of great importance and will have a long-term positive effect.

The new residential project will not only offer apartments, but also include the construction of a daycare center and a neighborhood meeting. This means a clear profit for the community and creates a place where young and old can meet. The planned 89 apartments are spread over five to six full floors and offer both classic subsidized living space and special senior apartments.

a home for seniors

Among the new apartments are also nine units for people aged 65 and over who have care needs. A senior citizens' house community is set up here that attaches particular importance to community and neighborhood. Access to these apartments takes place via a arcade, and a joint outdoor area is available to the residents. A common room will serve as a house nursing community, with Elbdiakonie working closely together in care and support. This creates not only living space, but also a supporting environment that meets the needs of older people. More information for interested parties about assisted living in Hamburg can be found on the website of living in old age.

The entire construction project fulfills the Efficiency House 55 standard, which means that it is not only energy-efficient, but also accessible by elevator. All apartments are equipped with a loggia, which significantly increases living comfort. In addition, the energy supply via district heating and photovoltaic systems on the flat roofs are ensured, which gives the project an even more sustainable orientation. There is also an underground car park that offers space for 174 bicycle parking spaces, including cargo bikes and 23 car parking spaces. Further bicycle parking options are planned outdoors.

political support

The Senate of Hamburg has set itself the goal of promoting the construction of rental apartments with social bonds. These measures are intended to improve the offer of housing for people with low and medium -sized incomes, which is absolutely necessary in view of the tense situation on the housing market. The annual funding for funded new construction rental apartments amount to at least 3,000 units. From 2011 to the end of 2024, around 37,600 rental apartments have already been funded, around 30,500 of which were completed. The rental prices of the subsidized apartments in the first funding route begin at 7.10 euros per square meter and are accessible to households with a residential authorization (WBS).

Die District Policy, represented by district manager Dr. Bettina Schomburg, recognizes the architecture and the supplementary offers of the project. With a planned completion in spring 2026, nothing stands in the way of a lively and joint living environment in Barmbek-Süd.
