The buyer, VALUES Real Estate, intends to incorporate the project into the newly launched \u201cVALUES Impact Living\u201d fund for subsidised housing (special AIF in accordance with Art. 9 SFDR).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new residential quarter will comprise around 4,380 sqm of rental space, containing a total of 61 one- to five-room flats and the corresponding number of parking spaces. Completion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The project will be constructed using a serial timber hybrid method and has been designed to meet the KfW 40 energy efficiency standard.
