Near the center of Schorndorf, in the “Schorndorfer Nordstadt”, will be build a new residential housing area on the realty of a former leather goods factory. The new, central area will represent a key position in urban design. After pulling down the old buildings, there will be available an area of 30.000 m^², which makes eight residential houses and one separate industrial unit possible. The residential houses comprise a living space of 18.000 m^², separated into 228 living units with one – to five-room apartments. This bent living space for different target groups consists of 10% social housing and 10% benefited living units combined with town houses, penthouses and two-story “lofts” with a glazing of 5, 7 meter. The roofages will be revegetated thoroughly.

The new area is supposed to be car-free. Therefore 225 parking spaces are scheduled – 189 underground and 36 overground. 10% of them will have an electric charging station. To one of the constructional challenges belongs the foundation level, which is situated in the underground water.
