Attractive building plot with planning permission, located in the city center.

The project was conceived as a standalone development, with construction planned using a modular timber frame system. The lower level is designed as a monolithic concrete parking structure, upon which the modular timber units will be erected. This construction method combines cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and short construction times.

The proposed usage includes a total of 14 residential units with a gross living area of 781.66 square meters: ten compact apartments and four larger apartments on the upper floors. Access can be provided barrier-free via an elevator located at the rear, although this is not yet part of the approved plans. The 14 residential units in a modular design are a conceptual proposal. However, the entire building volume has been approved and can be redesigned at will.

The currently planned usage is solely for residential purposes. In consultation with the city of Hof, commercial usage concepts can also be planned and implemented.

With a population of approximately 47,000, Hof is the third-largest city in Upper Franconia and offers an attractive combination of economic strength and education. The city boasts a solid infrastructure, covering an area of 58 square kilometers with a population density of around 800 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Economically, Hof is particularly strong: The Amazon logistics center in the Hof-Gattendorf industrial area employs approximately 2,000 people since its opening in November 2022, and this number is steadily increasing. Furthermore, dennree, a major food retailer, has around 1,400 employees in the city.

Hof is also a future-oriented center of higher education: The University of Public Administration (HföD) trains approximately 2,000 students in administration and management. Hof University itself has approximately 4,000 national and international students enrolled in 48 degree programs and actively supports entrepreneurs and startups with makerspaces, entrepreneurship courses, and office space on campus.
