Between the dynamism of Neusser Strasse and the green expanse of Nippeser Taelchen, a new part of Cologne is emerging. The wvm Group is not only creating living space here, but also a neighborhood—open to diversity, supported by sustainability, and built on the foundation of genuine neighborliness.
In the immediate vicinity of the popular "Höfchen" project , around 86 apartments, approximately 45 underground parking spaces with e-mobility preparation, and 165 additional parking spaces are being built on the Neusser Strasse 367/Niehler Kirchweg site – 17 of which are specifically for cargo bikes.
But what makes it special is not the numbers, but the attitude: the new residential quarter is called "Tälchen" and is a clear commitment to the further development of a mature neighborhood – not against the environment, but with it. Erika Werres, managing director of the wvm Group, comments: "Nippes is a place where life happens. That's exactly why we're designing a neighborhood here that improves people's everyday lives – with space to arrive, exchange ideas, and stay."
Between love for the neighborhood and responsibility for the future
An open courtyard with generous green spaces and play areas replaces the sealed surface – it becomes the green meeting place of the neighborhood. The buildings blend into the cityscape with a clear 4-5-story edge, closing the urban gap and giving the neighborhood a new face.
A wide mix of apartments – from compact 2-room apartments to 5-room family oases – opens up living perspectives for a wide variety of lifestyles. The neighboring "Höfchen" project has already shown that there is a high demand for family-friendly, urban living. The new construction project is responding to this demand in a conscious and concrete manner.
Energy from responsibility
Heat is supplied by air-to-water heat pumps on the roofs. The system is supported by a large-scale photovoltaic system.
"We don't just build houses. We build trust. Our projects represent an attitude: that progress, climate responsibility, and urban quality of life do not have to be mutually exclusive," adds Erika Werres.
