BEING MOBILE - Rhomberg Bau

New perspectives for historical city centre
Residential and retail building for Luger site in Dornbirn/AUT
The realisation of this project has been
pursued for a long time by our residential
properties and project development
groups working in close cooperation.
We are in the midst of intensive negotiations
with investors on the “Luger-
Areal: Haus Mozartstrasse”.
The units in storeys 2 to 5 of the
“Luger-Areal: Haus Bahnhofstrasse”
are to be built as owner-occupied
apartments. Here we have succeeded
not only in designing 3 extremely
attractive penthouse apartments with
spacious terraces over more than
one storey, but also 2 – 4 room units
with plenty of layout options, some
as loft-style flats and exclusive room
heights of up to 2.75 m. Because of
their excellent location, they are also of
interest to investors.
Shops with attractive loft and penthouse apartments above are to be built in the Luger furniture
store building: with exclusive room heights and spacious terraces extending over more than one
storey.
In May 2008, Rhomberg Bau secured
an outstanding location with
the purchase of the Luger site in the
centre of Dornbirn. Since then much
has been achieved: A cooperative
venture with Hotel Martinspark GmbH
has arisen during the planning of the
refurbishment of the existing building
on Bahnhofstrasse and the new
building on Mozartstrasse. Working
with a neighbouring hotel, we are
jointly developing an extension to the
adjoining hotel between the new and
existing buildings.
Cooperating like this brings both
partners a number of advantages. The
best use can be made of the available
land by adopting a mutual approach
to the distances between buildings.
At the same time, it was agreed that
we could use the hotel’s access to
its underground car park and join our
underground car park on to it, thus
generating valuable usable space on
the ground floor. In addition, we were
able to secure extensive pedestrian
and vehicle access rights for the optimum
connection of the new and existing
buildings over the land belonging
to Hotel Martinspark. Hotel Martinspark
GmbH gained the opportunity
to expand its inner urban presence
and extend with a more cost-efficient
building.
Both the existing building on Bahnhofstrasse
and the new development
on Mozartstrasse are currently at the
planning approval stage, but already
some partial approvals have been
given with respect to nature conservation
and landscape development
legislation requirements.
The unique selling points for the future
businesses in Haus Bahnhofstrasse
are the historic ambience and the
possibility of using larger floor areas
up to 2,200 m 2 . An application for use
as a shopping centre has already been
submitted. There are on-going negotiations
with various interested parties
for whom we can make freely divisible
floor space available.
Through the use of ecologically
compatible construction, heating from
renewable energy sources and further
densification of development in urban
areas, the Luger site is a shining
example of the sustainable use of precious
natural resources, land and soil.
