New daycare center and living space in the district of Berger Straße: Ocean Group designs Frankfurt-Bornheim

The Ocean Group has successfully completed the construction of the residential and business complex on Berger Strasse in Frankfurt-Bornheim. Among other things, this includes the opening of the Kindergarten and Horts Erasmus Ringelstraße, which now offers 42 children. Ajmal Rahmani, CEO of the Ocean Group, emphasizes that the conversion of an earlier fallow land into living space and childcare places took a significant step towards sustainable neighborhood development. The new building includes 67 residential units and sales areas that accommodate a supermarket. The project is viewed as an example of innovative approaches in the real estate sector to counter the growing need for living space in urban areas.

In the Stuttgart region, similar developments are of great importance, since the need for living space also increases significantly here. In the Stuttgart urban area in particular, fallow land are often unused, which leads to an urban desolation. Compared to Frankfurt, however, in Stuttgart, people are often encountered in the development of new residential projects on the part of the residents who often demand the preservation of existing structures and green areas. The dialogue between urban developers and residents could also be a decisive factor for future projects in Stuttgart.

Historically, the Stuttgart region has also been faced with unused fallow land. In recent decades, the city has launched various concepts to revitalize these areas. The renovation of the old freight station in Stuttgart into a residential and business district is an example of how to successfully use idle space.

In terms of demographic development, it should be noted that Stuttgart is still an attraction for people from other regions due to its economic strength and the positive labor market situation. According to the latest population statistics, the city has grown by over 10 % in the past five years. This development requires an urgent creation of living space, which makes sustainable and innovative projects particularly relevant.

Here is an overview of current developments in housing in Stuttgart:

The developments in Frankfurt-Bornheim could serve as a suggestion to advance similar models in Stuttgart. In order to efficiently meet the need for living space, everyone involved should continue to enter the dialogue, find innovative solutions and realize the value of unused areas. Only then can cities like Stuttgart remain worth living in the long term and to meet the challenges of growth.
