Tax office dwellings: On-site living quarters for employees available.

In the heart of Düsseldorf, there's a prime piece of real estate sitting idle – the old tax office on Roßstraße 68. This state-owned property has been empty since 2019, and local officials are tired of watching it deteriorate while people struggle to find affordable housing.

Adis Selimi, the chairman of SPD Mitte-Nord, emphasizes the importance of turning this vacant space into viable affordable housing options. Marina Spillner, city councilor for district 1, voices similar concerns, stating that it's not fair for the city to have a luxury like unutilized prime property while its residents are in need. So, they've been advocating at both the state and city council levels to speed up the redevelopment process.

But progress hasn't been swift. According to Markus Raub, co-chairman and planning policy spokesman of the SPD city council fraction, there have been talks with state authorities, but nothing substantial has come out of them yet.

The community agrees – it's high time for action. Leaving valuable housing resources unused is a luxury that Düsseldorf can ill afford. If you're curious about the latest developments with this project, reach out to local government offices or check with community forums for updates.

Here's a sneak peek into what typically happens during a redevelopment project:

  1. Project Planning: This involves a feasibility study to assess the site's potential for affordable housing, looking at zoning regulations, existing infrastructure, and renovation or construction possibilities.
  2. Community Engagement: Local residents and stakeholders share their input in public consultations or community forums, ensuring the redevelopment aligns with housing policies and meets community needs.
  3. Government Involvement: Local and regional government bodies play a role in the planning and approval process, providing incentives for projects that promote affordable housing.
  4. Financing and Partnerships: Affordable housing projects often collaborate with private developers, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. Funding comes from a variety of sources, including grants, loans, and public-private partnerships.
  5. Implementation: Once all necessary approvals are secured, the redevelopment process begins – demolition (if necessary), construction, and management and maintenance of new housing units.

So, keep your eyes peeled for updates on the old tax office at Roßstraße 68. Affordable housing is a crucial issue, and Düsseldorf needs to get its act together to ensure its residents have a roof over their heads.

  1. Considering the urgent need for affordable housing and the waste of valuable resources, the SPD Mitte-Nord and city councilor Marina Spillner advocate for prompt redevelopment of the old tax office on Roßstraße 68.
  2. As the redevelopment of the old tax office progresses, it's imperative that the project planning phase, community engagement, government involvement, financing, partnerships, and implementation all contribute to create viable, affordable housing options for Düsseldorf's residents.
