DPF Group and Blankbau Gruppe are continuing the strategic expansion of their serviced living concept livree. Following the initial project in Essen, the contractual agreement for a further location in Duisburg has now been signed. As a result, the joint development pipeline, which is ultimately planned to comprise up to twelve locations across North Rhine-Westphalia, continues to take shape.
The scheme is being developed at Kuhlenwall 58-62 in Duisburg's old town. Across a total floor area of around 2,900 square metres, a total of 41 residential units are planned. The residential offering caters to both singles and couples, featuring units with floor plans between 53 and 108 square metres. The largest home is a single unit on the recessed top floor, which benefits from a private roof terrace.
Key figures and schedule for the development
The timetable for the construction project in Duisburg has been set. Construction is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2027. Completion of the scheme is slated for the third quarter of 2029.

Expansion of the senior living pipeline in North Rhine-Westphalia
The engagement between the two partners is based on a framework agreement concluded in May 2026 for the development and delivery of modern senior living locations in North Rhine-Westphalia. Felix von Braun, Managing Partner of DPF Group, explained that Duisburg represents the next concrete step in rolling out the livree concept. Following Essen, the second scheme in the joint pipeline is now being launched. This proves the strength of the partnership and the objective of establishing the concept step by step across the federal state.
Blankbau Gruppe contributes its experience as a project developer, building contractor and asset manager to the collaboration, particularly in the senior living market segment. Based on a defined portfolio, up to twelve locations are to be delivered in phases over the coming years.
