Residential Complex Hornschuchpromenade nearing completion in Fürth, Germany

Hornschuchpromenade in Fürth, Germany, is a six-storey, 226-unit residential complex that is part of the exciting new urban district Hornschuch Campus in Fürth, Germany.

This four-hectare district will transform the area, situated on the last significant undeveloped plot near the city centre.

Located near the city centre on a former railway site, previously used as a recycling yard until 2017, the Hornschuch Campus boasts direct underground connectivity to the University of Nuremberg. This strategic location makes it ideal for student housing. The residential complex, covering an approximate gross building area of 22,000 m², is designed around a beautifully landscaped inner courtyard. The integration of sculpted individual balconies and expansive cantilevered balcony strips adds a dynamic and varied aesthetic to the structure.

Catering to the preferences of the younger target group, the residential units are predominantly planned as one- to two-room apartments, many of which are available for partial or full-furnished rental.

The entire project is scheduled for full completion in Q1 2025. The Hornschuchpromenade and the broader Hornschuch Campus are poised to become landmark developments, fostering a thriving community and contributing to the city's ongoing growth and prosperity.
