PORR begins construction on “Neue Kohlgärten” residential complex in Leipzig’s Reudnitz District

In Leipzig’s rapidly evolving Reudnitz district, PORR Hochbau Region Ost is set to build a new residential complex named “Neue Kohlgärten,” designed to offer modern and versatile living spaces. The development, commissioned by PROPOS Projektentwicklung GmbH, will feature 28 two- to four-room apartments and 84 rental units. Construction will begin in April 2025, with the first residents expected to move in by November 2026.

The new complex, located at Kohlgartenstraße 63 and Bergstraße 2a and 2b, will cover 2,830 sqm and provide 5,752 sqm of living space. Built to the standards of a KfW Efficiency House 55, the project emphasizes sustainability, urban greenery, and a vibrant community atmosphere. Situated near Leipzig’s city center, Reudnitz has become a highly desirable neighborhood, especially among students and young professionals, thanks to its excellent infrastructure and a growing number of cafés, restaurants, and beer gardens.

The architectural design of “Neue Kohlgärten” is inspired by the historical Gründerzeit style, which once defined the area. Modern features such as balconies, bay windows, and updated color schemes will integrate seamlessly with contemporary living needs. The development at Bergstraße will offer spacious apartments, while the adjacent building on Kohlgartenstraße is designed to cater to the increasing demand for smaller units.

“Neue Kohlgärten” marks the latest collaboration between PORR and PROPOS Projektentwicklung GmbH. The two companies previously partnered on the construction of the Cospuden residential quarter near Leipzig, where PORR’s efficient, high-quality work and cooperative approach earned praise. This strong working relationship continues with the development of the “Neue Kohlgärten.”

As Leipzig’s Reudnitz district grows in popularity, the “Neue Kohlgärten” residential complex is set to provide much-needed housing in a central and up-and-coming area of the city.
