FESTIVE INAUGURATION OF THE BRUCKLYN QUARTERS IN ERLANGEN

The Jost group of companies introduced the Brucklyn neighborhood in Erlangen with a spectacular party.

The former “headlights hall” of Frieseke & Hoepfner, now protected as a cultural heritage monument, received a new breath of life. A new age of living and working has taken up residence in it with a modern, first-class and efficient design. The overall atmosphere expresses itself in high-tech facilities for sports, recreation, community - with all the necessary extras and stylish imple-mentations suited for the younger tenant.

In addition to 303 identical 1-room apartments the Living Center offers a variety of common areas (TV room, a library and a communal kitchen), a guest apartment and a caretaker's flat, administrative offices as well as a fitness studio with sauna. Each apartment is equipped with a fully furnished living area including kitchenette, a bathroom, as well as a balcony or terrace. Some of the apartments are designed wheelchair accessible and barrier-free. You enter into a typical foyer on the ground floor, which spans across two floors and offers a coffee bar. In the basement you can conveniently leave your car in the onsite underground garage with a total of 67 parking spaces. A sundeck on the rooftop next to the mezzanine level with outdoor swimming pool and basketball court invites you to relax and move about freely enjoying the fresh air.

KREBS+KIEFER’s contribution to this exiting project are the services of structural engineering, fire safety as well as building physics and they are in the process of working on the other buildings in this neighborhood constellation – a hotel (“Livestyle“), a business start-up center (“Factory“) as well as the MI6 (“Living“).
