New residential project in Trudering-Riem: 500 apartments in the planning stage!

A lot is happening in Trudering-Riem when it comes to housing construction. Bayerische Hausbau has offered land for sale on which up to 500 new apartments could be built. These areas could serve as an extension of the trade fair city of Riem and provide space for urgently needed living space in the Bavarian capital. But the whole thing has its price: the city of Munich is supposed to put 49.95 million euros on the table for it, but this sum is met with skepticism by many city councilors.

The negotiations about the purchase of the land have already taken place in the Trudering-Riem district committee, where there was a lively exchange about the advantages and disadvantages. While the city of Munich is interested in purchasing the space, some councils have expressed criticism of the high prices. The SPD parliamentary group has submitted a motion to support the city's purchase and thus create affordable housing. You definitely want to reduce the risk of speculative profits.

Controversy over the land purchase

Concerns came from Herbert Danner from the Greens, who pointed out that the price of the land could place a significant burden on the city and that completely avoiding speculative profits was questionable. He advocated not making a recommendation to the city for the purchase, especially since negotiations are already being conducted by the municipal department. For its part, the CSU has raised an inquiry about the future social structure in the new development area and wants to ensure that a healthy mix of rental and owner-occupied apartments is guaranteed.

Magdalena Miehle from the CSU supported the purchase, but emphasized that greater consideration of home ownership was necessary in the fifth construction phase. The SPD also sees the need to keep an eye on the ownership rate in the new area. Susan Beer from the SPD warned that too high an ownership rate could put the rental market under great pressure. Susanne Weiß from the Greens even suggested postponing the current applications and moving the discussion to the district development subcommittee. It remains to be seen how the district committee will decide, as the decision has currently been postponed and the discussion will continue.

It is already clear that developments in Trudering-Riem are a hot topic. The urban development measures could not only have a lasting impact on the housing situation, but also on the social structure in the district. The focus on the future handling of the properties will certainly give rise to many discussions in the coming weeks and months, because every voice counts when it comes to making democratic decisions.

The situation in Trudering-Riem shows that there is a lot at stake when it comes to creating living space. Current events are an exciting example of how local politics can influence the quality of life and living space for many Munich residents. Süddeutsche.de reports on the background, while [tz.de].
