Coal road
Bavarian Railway Station Leipzig
The Bavarian railroad station in Leipzig, which opened in 1844 and was the starting point for the railroad line via Hof to Munich, provided the impetus for the development of Petersvorstadt into a metropolitan urban area. Since then, the newly created Bayrische Platz has welcomed arriving travelers, and in 1876 the new coal station and a railroad depot opened on the site of the station. With the connection of the new underground station to the redesigned Central German S-Bahn network in December 2013, the former, long-empty railroad areas were freed up for contemporary development in line with current requirements. With excellent transport links, this area benefits from Leipzig’s vibrant urbanity. In the northern section of Kohlenstrasse, new residential construction is planned for first occupancy.
High quality of living
with a view of the park
New residential buildings are being constructed in the northern area of the urban space on the 12,000 m² “Kohlenstraße” sub-area (sub-area 2). In the first construction phase, 151 apartments with a total living space of 13,470 m² are to be created between Paul-Gruner-Straße and Shakespeare Straße. The apartments are designed both for owner-occupiers and for investors – as condominiums. The 3 apartment buildings with a view of the park will be built in open construction. The spacious new buildings will feature 1- to 4-room apartments with floor areas ranging from approx. 36 to 223 m², exceptional fixtures and fittings and a sustainable energy concept. In addition, approx. 111 car parking spaces and approx. 302 bicycle parking spaces are planned.
The project is scheduled to begin in 2024, marking the start of the new urban area south of Bayerischer Bahnhof.
Area (gross floor area): approx. 27,619 m²
Start of construction planned: 2024
