Rendering City Ost

„Mönchengladbach is very interesting as an invesment location. A growing city in the middle of the agglomeration of NRW. Already a few years ago, locations were on our minds which function as mobility-HUB – a main station offers ideal requirements for urband and sustainable districts. Our project Grand Central in Düsseldorf with ca. 1000 apartments is a perfect example for that", Klaus Franken, managing director of Catella.

"The first apartments are said to be moved into, before the airport BER opens", promises Klaus Franken and turns up the pace. A development plan procedure needs its time, but the changes around the main station shall be visible as soon as possible. Catella already collected positive experience with the project in Düsseldorf. 60.000 visitors at over 100 events in just one year – why not in Mönchengladbach too? "The joyless abandoned area shall be activated and made accessable as soon as possible to make aware of the location that will be one of the most important urban developments of the city in the upcoming years", promises Klaus Franken.

The area of City Ost is in Mönchengladbach close to the main station. Over 1.500 new apartments and a range of new jobs shall emerge here. Catella is the last company in competitive tendering procedure.
