New residential area in Grafenstein: Building for 350 people starts soon!

in Grafenstein, a picturesque town in the Klagenfurt Land district, is an important residential construction project in the starting blocks. The construction of the "Kaiserallee Grafenstein residentialalle" will begin from July, which celebrates a groundbreaking ceremony on July 10th. Mayor Stefan Deutschmann has already announced the preparatory work and emphasizes the importance of the project for the local community. The aim is to offer young people and families urgently needed living space, which is particularly attractive in view of the current living space situation in Carinthia.

The project operators Hartlieb and Wochesländer plan to build both single-family and multi-party houses. Nikolaus Hartlieb, commercial director of W&H Bauträger GmbH, emphasizes the central location, which is considered the future economic hub. The connection to the Koralbahn, which enables a quick connection to Graz in just 45 minutes from the coming winter, Grafenstein could make even more attractive.

challenges on the Carinthian housing market

Paul Perkonig, a specialist from the real estate industry, emphasizes that property not only improves the individual standard of living, but also counteracts emigration from rural areas. More and more votes are therefore calling for targeted political measures to promote affordable living space. Karl Glanznig, chairman of the ARGE construction industry Carinthia, emphasizes that young families in particular need support.

despite challenges - a building offensive?

The Carinthian residential building offensive 2030 could be a ray of hope in the difficult situation by providing funds for ownership, renovation and affordable rental apartments. Private developers who build almost 80 percent of the new apartments have a great responsibility. Since 2022 there has been a slight increase in construction activity in Carinthia, but the market is subject to a striking change as a whole. The construction and financing costs increase, the credit guidelines are tightened, and property prices attract- all of this has a noticeable impact on construction activity.

All of these aspects illustrate why the Kaiserallee Grafenstein residential area is of such great importance. It could be another step to relieve the lack of living space in the region and help to keep families and young people at home. While the challenges are numerous, the new project in Grafenstein is a glimmer of hope that could enliven the housing market in Carinthia.
