Patrizia participating in DGNB pilot project

Patrizia has joined the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). Furthermore, with its new “F 40” development in Frankfurt, Patrizia Projektentwicklung GmbH, is participating in the DGNB pilot project “New Residential Construction” which guarantees sustainable building.

Sustainable residential buildings are also attractive for investors as in view of their lower ancillary costs they offer better letting ratios that are reflected in higher rates of rental increase and a
sustainable performance.

The DGNB criteria comprise the aspects environment, profitability, a socio-cultural form of construction and living, technical quality and process quality. “It is the residents and users of our buildings who are important to us,” emphasizes Kolper. “Alongside even more living value, our aim here is to safeguard the quality in the long term.” As well as the five main criteria, the location of a building is also assessed. With its “F 40” project, Patrizia Projektentwicklung plans to construct 118apartments and an office building in Frankfurt. A residential block with 64 apartments as well as six urban villas with a total of 54 apartments is envisaged for this. The use of renewable energy is planned for the new development in Feuerbachstrasse with hot water collectors and an optimally insulated building shell. The possibility of using geothermic technology is currently being reviewed. Issues such as special comfort are also being taken into account in the planning. A flexible living concept is envisaged that will allow the living space to be adapted to the needs of the residents.
