Rems-Murr district invests in 57 new clinic apartments – last chance!
In the Rems-Murr district, fresh housing concepts are on the agenda, which are supported with 12 million euros. More specifically, the construction of 57 clinic apartments near the clinic in Winnenden is being implemented as a decisive step against the tense housing market in the region. ZVW reports that the new apartments are primarily intended for trainees and employees of the Rems Murr Clinics, who will benefit from the increasing demand for affordable housing.
The development of these apartments is a response to the housing shortage that is noticeable in urban centers such as the Rems-Murr district. Two apartment buildings have already been built in Schorndorf and Winnenden for hospital employees in the past, and the new apartments are also expected to be in high demand.
A step into the future
District Administrator Dr. When handing over the first keys to 66 apartments in Schelmenholz, Richard Sigel emphasized the aim of these investments: to increase the attractiveness of the Rems-Murr Clinics as an employer. With the first key for the nurse Zejnepe Gajtani, it becomes clear how important it is to move this project forward. The official news of the Rems-Murr district emphasize that the new 1- and 2-room apartments in Winnenden were specifically created to offer the clinic employees an adequate living situation.
A positive signal in the difficult situation is that a further 32 residential units will soon be available at the Rems-Murr-Klinik Schorndorf. But the housing market in general is far from overcoming its challenges.
Challenges in the housing market
The situation on the housing market is tense and many companies need sufficient access to affordable housing in order to attract and retain qualified employees. Dihk emphasizes that the federal government has set a target of 400,000 new buildings annually in 2021, but only scant progress has been made in recent years. The decline in construction volume will continue to be an issue in the coming years.
The problems start with the long approval periods and strict requirements that make it difficult for developers to launch new projects. This has a direct impact on securing skilled workers in the economy. A targeted approach to promote housing creation and an acceleration of planning and approval processes are urgently needed.
With the latest financial boost for the clinic apartments, the Rems-Murr district shows that it is ready to take responsibility and find solutions to counteract the tense living situation, albeit on a small scale. It is to be hoped that other similar projects will follow initiatives in the district.
