Application for a new development area: Selection of plots

Plot 54 would actually be worth considering, but according to the architect’s statement it is not for sale (neither S nor T).

That it belongs neither to lot "S" nor lot "T", anyone can see ...

But sure, we could reach out again to see who had that assured and whether it might still come onto the market.

... and that is why it does not at all come onto the market (because one person buys it and everyone else thinks it is not available).
That was the bonus for the fee-free tip ;-)

The desired house size is about 140-150 sqm of living space. Our total budget is about 650 - 700k€. [...] We are calculating with an approximate price per square meter of 3,000€ to 3,200€ per sqm of living space. A general contractor we have spoken to so far named a similar price. So we hope this is reasonably realistic.

Alright, let’s get specific. Let’s assume the difference between 700k and 650k budget went on additional costs; 37 should cost 151,360; 54 you could acquire for EUR 335 per sqm without getting more expensive. I’ll draw the Monopoly Chance card: you get 28, that costs 194,985. The rest would then be enough for 142 sqm, so the goal would be achievable,...

We already have catalogs at home from various providers of different price ranges,

... and you are now giving away catalogs of the wrong price ranges to poorer or richer people :) (because one thing is certain: building a Maxime or Jette with flair money, that calculation wouldn’t work; with adjustments even less). So the right iron must be taken, otherwise the ball doesn’t go in the hole.

So far communication with the architect, who manages the T plots, has been somewhat difficult. But it probably makes sense to inquire again to maintain the informational advantage.

But then better only for that, because difficult communication typically does not improve "after sale," and as a general contractor or as a contact person for one, he’s basically out of the picture. That is actually the most important thing for such projects: put hooks on dead ends, close the lid – the caravan moves on, the sultan is thirsty. But information can still be nibbled away while moving on; that would be a shame, since it won’t be fresh tomorrow.

Here: is, by the way, a future neighbor on the move :)

Exciting discussion. Especially regarding the noise development, I had expected that further back it would definitely be better and that the upper floors of the houses directly on the federal road would already shield enough in addition to the wall. That it can also turn out quite differently, I hadn’t really considered... and that, even though I had looked at noise maps, etc.

Smaller playgrounds in residential areas here in the region are actually less frequented by teenage delinquents... not even those from the 90s and older. In that respect, I hardly worry.

I still don’t quite get it with T-shaped plots... they are simply marketed by the architect at the same prices as the municipal ones, but possibly with a requirement to build on them? Or directly to home-building companies? Or is it not that clear at all?

I don’t quite get the T-plots yet... they are simply marketed by the architect at the same prices as the municipal ones, but possibly with a requirement to build with them? Or directly to homebuilding companies? Or is it not that clear?

I can only speculate at this point as well...

The allocation of the plots takes place in two steps: First through the city for all plots marked with an S. Afterwards (probably only in Q3 or Q4 of this year) the allocation of the remaining plots takes place through an architect, namely all plots marked with a T.

... I interpret this as the city allocating plots with free choice of building companies, whereas for the "T" plots someone represented by an architect wants to control with which company/companies the building takes place. Possibly a construction contractor is the area developer, and the city has negotiated to be involved in the allocation of a quota of plots. The creative gray areas are large, and various interests are at the table wanting a share. In any case, I suspect the mentioned architect here to be more a mediator/trustee rather than the actual landowner or general contractor.

Allegedly, only 6 plots have been allocated so far… quite sad, considering the interest there has been in the past.

Apparently, only 6 plots have been allocated so far…

That's nice that you give this status update to those who remain interested :)

It's sad when you think about the interest there used to be.

I currently evaluate / experience the situation positively: the hesitation is slowly declining again, but I have to make the building enthusiasts less "appealing" to keep housing area and other castle-like extras in check. Fewer villas, more demand-oriented home ownership (which doesn't have to be "ugly") – ideal from a housing management perspective.
