Leipzig's new east forum: Modern construction project will open in autumn!

Ostplatz, Leipzig, Deutschland - on the Ostplatz in Leipzig is currently being created with an impressive new building ensemble, which is to be opened under the name "Ost Forum" in a few months. The construction site attracts the attention of passers-by through its colorful alucubond facades. This modern project, designed by the architect Peter Homuth, consists of three buildings, the height of which is based on the surrounding architecture: a high -rise with 11 floors, a medium -high building with 7 floors and a smaller building with 5 floors. The total investment for the East Forum amounts to over 70 million euros, as reported [lvz.de].

The design idea for this project was inspired by a trip by the architect to China in 2016. Until its destruction in 1943, there was an important building on the site that used to housing the new Johannishospital. The Adler Group acquired the property four years ago, while the old Technical City Hall was sold to the city in 2024. Another important step was to withdraw the Talanx Group from the purchase of the East Forum, which did not impair the plans.

production and use of the East Forum

The construction work indoors are scheduled for schedule, and the completion of apartments, facades, courtyards and the underground garage is planned by the end of 2025. An Aldi market with a sales area of ​​1000 square meters is scheduled to open in October 2025. The underground car park, which has 180 parking spaces, also offers 75 places with electric loading points and 250 bicycle parking spaces. The entrance and exit to the underground car park is located on Johannisallee.

From mid -2026, the openings of other shops, service providers and gastronomic facilities on the ground floor are also planned. The 40 -meter high house section will offer 12,000 square meters of office space, which are rented from a size of 500 square meters. At the same time, it is expected that the 49 apartments in the smaller building, which are between 40 and 110 square meters in size, will be rented out of the end of 2025. The cold rents are between 16 and 18 euros per square meter, and the first entries are planned for April 2026.

sustainability in focus

A central concern of the construction project is sustainability. The East Forum will be equipped with energy -efficient cooling sailors, district heating and photovoltaics. In addition, habitats for animals are integrated into the planning in order to promote harmonious coexistence between people and nature. Further information on architecture and plans can be found on the [Homuth architecture].

The anticipation for the East Forum is great, and the first impressions show that it is a future -oriented project that not only creates living space, but will also provide a varied offer in the heart of Leipzig.
