SENSATIONAL LACK OF HOUSING SPACE: Bietigheim-Bissingen needs 2,400 new apartments!
Bietigheim-Bissingen is planning 600 new apartments in the Aurain-Carré by 2034. The demand is high and the infrastructure must be adapted.
SENSATIONAL LACK OF HOUSING SPACE: Bietigheim-Bissingen needs 2,400 new apartments!
In a massive, shocking act of urban expansion, Bietigheim-Bissingen is rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the housing shortage! With the legendary new development area **Aurain-Carré**, the city is becoming a hotbed of housing construction - an unprecedented number of incredible **600 new apartments** are to be built here! But the need for housing in Baden-Württemberg is nothing less than alarming. **Over 50,000 new apartments per year** are urgently needed, as the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research clearly states! There is a limit in this ridiculously large number that simply cannot be ignored!
But the explosive transformation of this region is not only reflected in the impressive announcement of new residential projects - in the Ludwigsburg district alone, a fearsome **2,400 new apartments are required annually**! Bietigheim-Bissingen has several areas available for housing construction, but is that really enough?
The dramatic reality of the construction industry
What is frightening is the slow pace of construction, which is caused by shockingly high interest rates and skyrocketing construction costs, as Carsten Student, the head of Bietigheimer Wohnbau, warned! The first apartment on the Aurain-Carré will not see the light of day until **early 2024** - a devastating standstill that is driving the city to the brink of madness!
But that's not all! In the creative Lothar-Späth-Carré, almost **200 new apartments** are almost finished, and a further construction phase could enable a sensational **200 additional apartments**! But this all depends on the difficult negotiations with Wohnbau Layher – could the city fail on this crucial front?
A nightmare for the city administration
It gets even worse - the old headquarters of Bietigheimer Wohnbau, the abandoned ruin on Berliner Straße, causes horrendous maintenance costs of over **20,000 euros per month**! What will happen to this deadly financial burden if there is no change in thinking? The expected demolition and new construction of **150 to 200 apartments** at a cost of around **80 million euros** promise further obstacles on the path of an already cracked construction industry. And the whole thing takes place between **2030 and 2038**! A tragedy without equal!
Mayor Jürgen Kessing warns that these new residential projects also require new infrastructure such as daycare centers and schools! And that means additional costs for the already heavily burdened city. The ongoing chain of unresolved problems increasingly resembles a nightmare of endless waiting and desperate fear!
The massive decline in housing construction
Construction prices for newly built residential buildings have increased by **7.4 percent** and the trend continues! Gerald Lipka from the BFW regional association is once again calling for immediate countermeasures to free the housing market from this shocking crisis. Otherwise there is a risk of a ruinous housing shortage in the middle of the metropolitan areas!
The construction industry, once a thriving industry, is now in a dead end - and the trades are already in the darkness of short-time work! It's only a matter of time before the chain reaction leads to a complete collapse!
In this dramatically tense scenario, one can only hope that the political leadership recognizes the urgency and acts before the housing crisis hits the region. **Bietigheim-Bissingen** faces an uncertain fate. Your dream home could turn into a nightmare if nothing is done!
