Nationwide developer Bonava has launched sales for the first terraced houses in the "Im Alberthof" new-build scheme in Markranstädt near Leipzig, Saxony. A total of ten homes are being built in a quiet courtyard setting, comprising eight terraced houses and two semi-detached homes. All units offer five rooms as well as an associated private garden.
In the planning and regulatory preparation of the scheme, the company is using the so-called "Bau-Turbo" mechanism in coordination with the municipality of Markranstädt. Utilising this statutory fast-track procedure saves several months of administrative processing time, facilitating prompt construction.
Schedule and key construction metrics
The schedule envisages earthworks commencing in December 2026. The start of structural works above ground is slated for spring 2027. According to current planning, the first residents are expected to move in during December 2027, with overall project completion scheduled for spring 2028.
The terraced houses initially on sale feature living spaces of between approximately 135 and 139 square metres. The units are being constructed to the Efficiency House 55 standard and will be powered via heat pumps. Subject to applicable conditions and available funding, buyers can access subsidised loans from Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau.
Specifications and transport links
The specification of the homes includes floor-to-ceiling windows, terraces and two outdoor parking spaces each. Structural provisions allow for the retrofitting of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Bonava regional director Anika Godjaly notes that the scheme creates a family-friendly environment within the Leipzig commuter belt, combining short journeys to schools and local amenities with swift transport connections for commuters.
