The man on the left is wearing a light-coloured polo shirt and has his hands on his hips. The man on the right is wearing a white shirt, a grey jacket and dark trousers, and is looking at the other man. In the background, the façade of a residential building with balconies can be seen.
IN TUNE WITH THE TIMES

INNOVATIVE THROUGH TRADITION.

The future has long since arrived here. Here, we’ll show you exactly how.

A bird’s-eye view of a sprawling major construction site for a building complex. In the foreground lies a large, freshly laid floor slab made of reinforcement meshes (reinforcing steel). Several large tower cranes are scattered across the site. Building materials such as rusty steel mesh, wooden battens, scaffolding parts and blue site huts are strewn on the ground. In the background, surrounding green trees and adjacent residential buildings can be seen beneath a slightly cloudy sky.
Hello, future!

We’re taking a fresh look at living.

Standing still? That’s not in our nature. We build new homes where there’s room for fresh ideas – and we modernise our existing properties where they still have potential. That’s how we create living spaces that are contemporary, sustainable and a pleasure to live in.

 

Our new-build projects are developed with a clear aim: more space for good living. Whether compact city flats or spacious family homes – we plan them so that people can live here happily for many years to come. In doing so, we focus on modern architecture, energy-efficient construction and a sense of community that brings people together.

The façade consists of light beige clinker bricks, combined with a top storey and balcony railings in a warm golden-yellow shade. A large, leafless tree stands in front of the building. In the foreground, a paved area, small shrubs and a footpath can be seen. To the left in the background stands another modern residential building.
NEW BUILD

OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, LOK67.

More than just a place to live: in Lokstedt, we offer families, couples, singles and the over-60s a living environment that is both comfortable and sustainable.

 

How can we cleverly combine living, everyday life and the neighbourhood? Our answer: LOK67. In just three years of construction, between 2022 and 2025, we have created a new development comprising 106 bright and modern flats between Lohkoppelstraße, Ansgarstraße and Rimbertweg – a mix of publicly subsidised and privately funded units.

In addition to the attractive residential units, there is a nursery (run by the ‘Stadtküken’ organisation) situated in the heart of the neighbourhood, as well as numerous green spaces, play areas and communal spaces that encourage interaction and strengthen a sense of community.

 

Flat sizes range from 40 to over 100 square metres. The buildings have been designed and constructed to be energy-efficient – and meet modern standards for sustainable building. They all feature convenient lifts, rooftop solar panels and a smart underground waste collection system. A mobility concept comprising cycle parking, underground car park spaces and electric vehicle charging points rounds off the scheme.

 

The first residents were able to move in in autumn 2024, with the final move-ins taking place at the end of 2025. The LOK67 project epitomises our commitment to creating contemporary, affordable and sustainable housing in Hamburg – for people who want to live right in the heart of the city whilst seeking a home with a genuine sense of community.

A tradesperson is working on the upper level of the scaffolding on the balconies, some of whose cladding has been removed. Ladders connect the individual levels. Shrubs and ferns grow in front of the building.
MODERNISATIONS

OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY PAYS OFF.

We are constantly modernising our housing stock to ensure that our flats remain comfortable, safe and energy-efficient in the long term. In doing so, we take a close look at:

 

  • How sound is the building structure?
  • How much maintenance is required?

 

Based on this information, we assess which measures are appropriate.

The needs of our members are our top priority – thanks to these maintenance works, they can look forward to greater comfort and modern facilities in their flats. During the renovation phases, we provide active support through our social management team. If major modernisation work is required, such as lift refurbishments, we provide temporary alternative accommodation for the duration and assist with the move. We also place particular emphasis on encouraging neighbourly support in such cases.

 

Naturally, sustainability and climate protection play a major role in our initiatives. Whether it’s solar panels, district heating or innovative heating systems – we focus on solutions that reduce energy consumption and make our KAIFU flats fit for the future.

 

Our aim is clear: high-quality flats that provide long-term satisfaction, save costs and make our members’ everyday lives easier in the long term.
