First subsidized housing built in HafenCity: 350 apartments at Lohsepark
HafenCity kicked off the New Year in 2010 with new housing construction projects.

HafenCity Hamburg GmbH announced the year’s first offering of sites in Am Lohsepark neighborhood, central HafenCity, for around 350 units, including 70 subsidized rental apartments.
A range of different housing concepts are emerging in HafenCity. In Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai and Am Sandtorpark, accommodation ranges from rental to privately owned apartments at different prices levels, through to homes offered by cooperative housing corporations and joint building ventures, or facilities for specific target groups, such as seniors. To extend the choice even further and offer even more reasonably priced homes, the first subsidized housing will also be built. Living at Lohsepark is made particularly attractive to families by spacious common areas, child care facilities in ground floors, the neighboring park, and proximity to the future school complex at Lohsepark
Commenting on the new development at Lohsepark, Anja Hajduk, senator for urban development and environment, said: “HafenCity will be even greener through the addition of Lohsepark and, through the addition of the first publicly subsidized rental apartments, affordable for families on low incomes. This is an important step towards creating a lively neighborhood.”
