There is a high demand for affordable housing in the city of Innsbruck. Reason enough to refurbish the Schlachthofblock residential complex in the Dreiheiligen district by 2026 or. to create more apartments for the population through a partial new building. Due to the tense housing situation in the state capital, it is also urgently necessary to provide affordable housing for students and trainees. For this purpose, in the corner buildings at Erzherzog-Eugen-Straße 25 and 39 and at Schlachthofgasse 14, as part of the further structural development of the slaughterhouse block, the necessary living space, common rooms and various educational measures for students and young people in training from the European region (short: Euregio) Tyrol-South Tyrol- Trentino realized.
This Tuesday were attended by Governor Anton Mattelmayor George Willy and the managing director of Innsbrucker Immobiliengesellschaft (IIG), DR Franz Danler, the first keys for the Euregio campus | Handing over young living in training.
“The ‘Euregio-Campus’ in the provincial capital of Innsbruck is unique in this form and a showcase project for cooperation between the Euregio Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino. So far, young people from the European region have come together in the form of holiday camps or for project-related events – now we have created a place for competent exchange. At the same time, we are tackling an important challenge: namely the creation of affordable living space for young people who are doing an apprenticeship in Tyrol, thereby also relieving the regular housing market,” says a delighted LH matter
“With the new ‘Euregio-Campus | Young living in training’ at the slaughterhouse block area, we offer young people from the three parts of the Euregio in the Tyrolean capital another affordable living space during their training period. The new ones will probably cover all the necessary needs of the trainees,” emphasizes Mayor Willi.
“The historical apartment floor plans were upgraded with an interior bathroom. This resulted in well-lit and sensibly proportioned apartments for the students. In addition, contemporary wooden windows were installed. The street-side facade was not changed, but restored to its historical condition. On the inside of the courtyard, the façade was insulated,” explains the engineer DR Franz Danler, Managing Director of the IIG. The overall slaughterhouse block project is expected to be an important step in the further development of the residential area of the city of Innsbruck – as it was when it was built around 100 years ago.

- Euregio office as a point of contact for interested trainees
- Provision of information via the Euregio website, through notices, Euregio youth events
- Conducting events and workshops in the common room

Other construction projects
Parallel to the corner buildings for student accommodation, a total of 140 new apartments are being built in this IIG project on Geviert in Dreiheiligen. The buildings at Ingenieur-Etzel-Strasse 24, 26 and 28 and at Schlachthofgasse 2, 4 and 6 will be demolished and the new building will be built.
The new building will contain around 115 subsidized rental apartments (mainly two to three room apartments) on a total floor space of around 7,100 square meters. These are awarded by the city of Innsbruck. In addition, the attic conversion will create around 25 free-standing two- to four-room units on a floor space of around 1,600 square meters. The three-group kindergarten in the courtyard is being built on an area of around 600 square meters. Taking into account the detailed 125 apartments, most of which will be completely renovated, a total of around 290 well-mixed apartments will be created in the slaughterhouse block after the project has been implemented.
In addition, with the exception of the student accommodation, elevators and balconies on the courtyard side are planned for the entire facility. Around 90 underground parking spaces are planned for the area in the inner courtyard. Entry is via the engineer-Etzel-Str.
