New residential project in Cologne-Nippes: 75 apartments for everyone!

Josefine-Clouth-Straße, 50733 Köln, Deutschland - On June 10, 2025, the groundbreaking for an exciting new construction project took place in Cologne-Nippes. The Cologne housing cooperative eG has started the construction of 75 new apartments in Clouth.Tor 2. This project is particularly important because 44 of the 75 apartments are promoted by means of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city administration has recognized an important signal in order to strengthen social housing in the region and to promote neighborhood development, as Markus Greitemann, deputy for planning and building in Cologne, emphasized.

With the new construction project, special attention is also paid to the integration of people with disabilities. In this way, two shared apartments are set up in the Clouth.tor 2, each of which offers space for four people with mental impairment. Christoph Moossen, CEO of Cologne Housing Cooperative EG, emphasizes the importance of high quality living space for the quality of life of all residents.

for the community and affordable living space

Overall, the project also creates 57 underground parking spaces on a spacious property of 3,334 m² on Josefine-Clouth-Strasse. Thanks to the funding from North Rhine-Westphalia, the goal is to offer affordable living space for a broad population group. This is particularly important for households with low incomes, which often suffer from the pressure of the tense housing market in Cologne.

The construction project falls into a larger initiative for living space funding, in which the construction of rental apartments is supported by low -interest loans. This support applies to various forms, for example to reuse rental apartments and to adapt existing apartments to changed needs, explains the city of Cologne. The aim of these measures is to ensure the care of the resident population and, above all, to bind families, young professionals and workers to Cologne.

The situation at the Cologne housing market

Currently, the availability of apartments in many districts of Cologne is severely limited. Almost no properties are currently available in the various districts such as Nippes, Deutz or Höhenberg, which underlines the demand for new forms of living. This situation illustrates the need to realize new residential projects such as that in Clouth.tor 2 in order to cover the living space requirements of Cologne citizens: in the long term.

With the start of construction in Cologne-Nippes, a sign of social and sustainable housing is set, which meets both the needs of today's and future generations. The way to a living -friendly city remains in motion, and with a project like this it can be seen that good ideas can be implemented at the right time.
