The residential quarter comprises a total of 403 modern apartments, commercial space for restaurants, offices and retail, as well as two underground car parks with 193 parking spaces. The construction work was spread across 19 residential buildings, which were realised in two construction phases. The Schützengarten has a living space of 28,950 m² as well as 1,969 m² of commercial space – the sheer scale of the project was a challenge for the project management and the construction site team.
The new ‘Schützengarten’ quarter impresses with its green and family-friendly design. Spacious, green courtyards have been created within the 4- to 7-storey buildings, offering residents a high quality of life. The entire construction project is not only shaping the urban landscape, but also helping to create much-needed living space in the rapidly growing capital of Saxony.
Special focus on sustainability
The demolition of the old 1980s buildings began in 2018. Two eight-storey office buildings, a former canteen, as well as a bunker from the Cold War era were demolished. The 4,300 tonnes of concrete parts that were obtained and processed were reused to fill the construction pits and for road construction. From energy-efficient and mobility-friendly planning to environmentally friendly demolition and resource-saving construction, the concept of sustainability determines the project.
The completion and acceptance of the project marks the end of an important construction phase for the new urban district. The apartments and commercial space will be managed by BUWOG Immobilien Treuhand GmbH and offer future residents modern and urban living in one of the most sought-after locations in Dresden. ‘We are delighted that the completion of the ‘Schützengarten’ project will not only provide the city of Dresden with urgently needed living space, but also offer future residents a high level of living quality,’ says Lutz Rosenberg, PORR building construction site manager in Dresden.
