Mannheim/Leverkusen, 29.04.2024

The project developer Cube Real Estate has received planning permission for the Mannheim district development “QiNO – Quartier in der Neckarstadt Ost”. Over the next few years, Cube is planning to convert the former Felina works on a site area of around 8,500 m². A mixed-use quarter will be created in the Neckarstadt-Ost district – the historical charm of the area will be preserved and supplemented with liveable open spaces. Construction work is scheduled to begin at the end of this year.

“We are delighted that we will soon be able to start work on our QiNO neighborhood development – Quartier in der Neckarstadt Ost – and thus further expand our construction activities at our Mitte location. The fact that this major and, above all, resource-conserving neighborhood development in existing buildings will now soon be under construction is an important and wonderful milestone for all our teams who have worked on it,” says Tilman Gartmeier, founder and CEO of Cube Real Estate GmbH.

At the former production and administration site of the textile company Felina, around 224 modern residential units of various sizes will be built by 2026, a quarter of which will be barrier-free. The former buildings of the Felina textile company will be largely preserved and renovated using modern energy-saving technology. An extension is planned to make efficient use of the existing building fabric. Offices, retail and restaurant space are also planned for the urban quarter, as well as around 64 parking spaces. As a “city of short distances”, the quarter is aimed at students and young professionals, as well as senior citizens and families.
