GvW Graf von Westphalen advises with great success "Die Wohnkompanie" and BAUWENS in the development project "Vierzig549" in Düsseldorf
The development plan "Hansaallee /Böhlerstraße 04/004" in the State Capital of Düsseldorf came into force in December 2015. This plan is the basis for the urban development project "Vierzig549". During the course of this project, a new family friendly residential area with approximately residential units will be constructed on a large former industrial area in Düsseldorf-Heerdt on a 118,000 m² large former industrial area in Düsseldorf-Heerdt, and this will be supplemented with local shopping, services and social infrastructure. The project organizer is a joint venture between the Bauwens Group and the project developer "Die Wohnkompanie", a company in the Zech Group.
The GvW attorneys Dr. Sigrid Wienhues and Dr. Andreas Wolowski provided extensive advice in the last two years for the project on issues of zoning law and negotiating a corresponding urban development contract between the project organizer and the City of Düsseldorf. In addition to the project "Vierzig549", the attorneys from the law firm also actively helped structure additional projects for urban development in Düsseldorf. The attorneys were involved in recent years in obtaining the building right for more than 3,500 new residential units.
