As part of the development of the Bayerischer Bahnhof Leipzig urban area, BUWOG is building a total of around 1,600 apartments in two sub-areas in line with the city of Leipzig's objectives for the creation of new living space. After completion, around 30 percent of the rental apartments will be subject to the criteria of subsidized housing construction and will enable low-income people to pay a price-linked rent of 6.50 euros. Following the successful start of the new construction on Dösner Weg in 2023, BUWOG expects to begin construction work on the new Lössniger Straße district in Leipzig from 2025. It is adjacent to the new district park, which will be built along the railroad line as an open space that is valuable in terms of the urban climate and can be used in a variety of ways and will connect the project developers' sub-areas.

Key information
Location
Sub-area urban quarter Lössniger Strasse
The development of the Bayerischer Bahnhof Leipzig urban space has been in full swing since 2019. This urban space stretches from Portikus in the north to Richard-Lehmann-Straße in the south over a length of almost 1.7 km and covers around 36 hectares. 5 citizens' forums and a comprehensive participation page accompanied the accompanying information process and the participation of Leipzig's citizens. BUWOG began the first building construction work on Dösner Weg in May 2023. In the second, larger sub-area (numbers 5 and 6 on the map), the STADTQUARTIER LÖSSNIGER STRASSE with around 1,200 rental apartments is expected to be built from 2025. This results in around 130,000 m² of gross floor area (total) including around 7,500 m² of district-oriented commercial space, for example with stores for daily needs such as bakeries, cafés etc., which offer functional benefits and can also be used for meetings and exchanges. In this way, the new Lößniger Strasse urban quarter will complement the residential offerings for all generations with commercial space and daycare facilities integrated into the quarter. All new apartments in the Lößniger Strasse Leipzig quarter are barrier-free or low-barrier and equipped with elevators.
Note for prospective tenants: There are currently no lettings. We will inform you on this page as soon as letting starts (expected in 2027).
