New attractive apartments at the green Glacis Park in Turmstraße Neu-Ulm

13.01.2022 - Something new is being built on Turmstraße north of the Glacis facilities. The Ingolstadt-based company Uni Apart is expanding its range of apartments in Neu-Ulm. The harmonious building structures will significantly enhance the residential area located at the Glacis Park.

The private provider of modern student apartments is already present in Neu-Ulm with the student housing complex in Memminger Straße. The company's next new building - Uni Apart Das grüne Haus® am Ring - is already under construction in the immediate vicinity on Allgäuer Ring. But that's not all: a few years ago, Uni Apart secured another plot of land in Turmstraße - in the direct vicinity of the Neu-Ulm bus and main train station. Modern, high-quality apartments are to be built here. For this purpose, the company launched an architectural competition in which 5 invited architectural firms participated. The competition was accompanied by the Ulm office nps Bauprojektmanagement GmbH.

On Tuesday, December 14, 2021, the submitted works were evaluated by a top-class jury headed by Prof. Franz Pesch from Cologne. The panel, which also included Prof. Martin Haas from Stuttgart as well as Lord Mayor Katrin Albsteiger, City Planning Director Markus Krämer, Mr. Jörg Oberle, Head of the Urban Development Department and Mr. Sven Poppe, also from the Urban Development Department, was able to certify the very high quality of the work of all offices without exception. In addition, the committee had the task of selecting the best design for the urban development and the livable use of the Danube City from among the solutions that clearly differed in their conception. The fact that all the participating offices received prizes and recognition is testimony to the high quality of their work.

In the end, the design of the Ulm-based office ZG Architekten won the race. The proposal groups 4 individual buildings around a courtyard, which on the one hand offers the residents protected communal areas, and on the other hand does not close itself off from the surroundings and the city. Following the approach of Uni Apart, various communal offerings on the first floor extend the residents' opportunities to meet and exchange ideas. The staggered heights of the buildings create additional areas on the roofs, which can be made available to the residents as community terraces or for joint activities such as urban gardening. With 7 floors, a high point of the development is formed in the northeast. Towards the south, the ensemble
ensemble then graduates to 4 stories and thus reacts considerately to the surrounding buildings. The apartment mix ranges from 1-room apartments to spacious 4-room apartments and is intended to appeal to a broad target group. All apartments are southeast or southwest facing and have balconies or terraces.

Uni Apart Studentenapartments is developing not only pure student housing ( student residence ) but also the brand Uni Apart Das grüne Haus® for a mix of student apartments, residential and commercial. With the project in Turmstraße, Uni Apart Residence is pursuing the realization of high-quality residential dreams.

In all three pillars of the development, the focus is always on communal areas for meeting. When neighbors become friends. The city is looking forward to another successful building block in the development of the area, Uni Apart to further attractive apartments in a successful ensemble of buildings.
