New residential area in Greifswald: Affordable rents for everyone!
Something is happening in housing construction in Greifswald! The city administration has initiated an ambitious project that not only aims to create affordable living space, but also places a particular focus on accessibility. The Greifswald municipal housing and management company (WVG) is responsible for the implementation and has already taken the first steps to build a new residential area in the Ostseeviertel. This news was announced on September 17, 2025, and the public's interest was particularly high, as shown by the number of visitors at the construction site open day.
What exactly is planned? Not only are extensive renovations of old prefabricated buildings planned, but also the construction of three new residential buildings. A total of 15 apartments will be made available specifically for tenants with a residence permit. One goal that the WVG pursues is to appeal to the broadest possible segments of the population and to give many people a chance at a new home. “We want everyone to feel comfortable here,” emphasizes press spokeswoman Jana Pohl, “and with this project we are creating the conditions for this.” The rental costs should be kept low, which is particularly important these days.
Sustainable living concepts
Particular attention is paid to additional costs. Those responsible have promised that electricity and water costs will be kept as low as possible. An additional highlight: Photovoltaic systems are to be installed on the roofs of all new buildings, which not only provide environmentally friendly energy, but also help reduce operating costs for tenants.
In addition, there is a special tariff regulation at Greifswalder Stadtwerke in order to offer tenants in this new district even lower costs. All of these measures are part of a comprehensive concept that takes into account the growing challenge of providing housing in the region. The demand for accessible housing currently exceeds the supply, and many existing buildings date back to times when accessibility was not a priority. Topics such as conversion and renovation are more common and often require funding programs to improve living conditions, as various reports and reports show.
A step in the right direction
The need for affordable housing affects all tenant groups, not just certain classes. The construction of barrier-free apartments is not only a conscious decision, but also a legal requirement that entails different requirements depending on the number of floors. As the CDU and CSU emphasize, it is of great importance to exploit the existing building potential, be it through new construction, an extension or densification.
For Greifswald, with all its residents, these developments are a small ray of hope in a demanding housing market. The construction projects are a step in the right direction and show that a good hand for the future of the city is being demonstrated.
