On Thursday 7 August 2025, the GIE Nei Hollerich reported that the urban development project is progressing according to schedule, with preparatory works now in their final stages; construction is set to begin in 2026.

Despite changes in the global economic and political context since its launch, the Nei Hollerich project, led by Paul Wurth Real Estate and Landimmo Real Estate, is sticking to the planned timeline for the development of the new urban district.

To date, the site's owners have already invested more than €30 million, notably in planning, rehabilitation and demolition.

Covering nearly 21 hectares, Nei Hollerich will provide approximately 390,000 m² of gross above-ground floor space. Once completed, the district will feature 2,200 housing units for up to 6,000 residents, in addition to retail, office and restaurant space.

In line with the developers' industrial heritage, the project is expected to preserve and enhance this historical heritage while also projecting it into the future. "At Nei Hollerich, we are focusing on creating harmony between the new construction and the listed historic buildings on the site," explained Landimmo Director Jürgen Primm. "The result will be a neighbourhood that is versatile in every respect, suitable for living and working, and whose history will contribute to forging a strong identity. Furthermore, thanks to its ideal location in the immediate vicinity of the central station and its excellent connection to the future tram line, Nei Hollerich will benefit from remarkable accessibility."

Currently, the preparatory work is in the final stages. Once this is completed, construction work will begin next year on this project. Gilles Feider, Managing Director of Paul Wurth Real Estate, commented: "With Nei Hollerich, we are not only creating a neighbourhood for the next generation, but also making a concrete contribution to solving one of our country's greatest challenges: housing. In addition, the Platinum pre-certification from the DGNB testifies to the sustainability of our urbanisation project."
