Salzburg (pts032/24.11.2022/17:00) –
On Fanny-von-Lehnert-Straße, right next to the Windham Grand Hotel and in the immediate vicinity of Forum 1, an attractive new building project with 52 apartments, surgeries, offices and a spacious garden in front of it will be completed by the end of 2024. The project by Linzer EBS Wohnungsgesellschaft was developed in close cooperation with the design advisory board. It is designed in tiers and comprises seven upper floors on the street side, which become lower towards the garden area. The ground floor will contain the areas for offices and surgery.
Municipality of Salzburg creates access to affordable housing
The municipality of Salzburg will receive 16 of the apartments in the new project from EBS. These are rented at particularly low cost. “As Mayor of the City of Salzburg, I am very pleased that rental apartments can be newly built on Fanny-von-Lehnert-Strasse and rented out at very good rents. This will enable low-income families to have an affordable home,” says Mayor Harold Preuner.
Quality of life, modern living space and an expanded offer for the district
The new project replaces a currently vacant residential building constructed in the 1950s and owned by EBS since the 1970s. From a technical point of view, a refurbishment of this aging building no longer makes sense. The new building not only brings modern living space and more quality of life for the residents, it also further enhances the district itself with its range of surgeries and offices. Work on the project will begin in winter with the demolition of the existing building, and construction will then start in spring 2023.
