Potsdam's Patrizierweg Project Nears Finish After Delays and Green Innovations
A new residential project in southern Potsdam is nearing completion after a series of delays. The Patrizierweg development, led by ProPotsdam, will offer 35 fully accessible apartments for families requiring special support. A topping-out ceremony in May 2025 marked a key milestone in its construction.
Work on the Patrizierweg site began in August 2024, covering a 3,600-square-metre area. The project initially aimed for completion in early 2025, but water damage pushed the timeline back to the end of the year.
The buildings are now structurally complete, with a hybrid timber-concrete method used throughout. This approach combines load-bearing concrete with prefabricated wood components. Green roofs and photovoltaic systems have also been installed to improve energy efficiency.
Designed to support social diversity, the development includes outdoor play and recreational spaces for children of all ages. The apartments will cater specifically to families needing assistance, though the exact number of pre-rented units remains undisclosed.
Once finished, the Patrizierweg project will add much-needed social housing to Potsdam. The 35 apartments, along with their accessible features and green design, will provide long-term support for vulnerable families. Completion is now expected by the end of 2025.
