KLEYERS Residential Quarter

The "KLEYERS" construction project in Frankfurt's lively Gallus district is an outstanding example of modern residential construction in a central location. In two construction phases between 2021 and 2025, a modern, functional residential quarter was created that sustainably supports the need for living space in the city center

The "KLEYERS" residential quarter in Frankfurt am Main was realized in two construction phases and forms a modern residential quarter consisting of apartment buildings, underground parking and additional uses in a central inner city location. A total of around 398 residential units, including 302 condominiums and 96 subsidized apartments, were built on a living space of around 23,700 m². The ensemble is complemented by a two-storey day care center, office and commercial space and 215 parking spaces in the underground car park. ZÜBLIN was responsible for the refined shell construction and the execution planning before construction work began.

The construction period extended from late autumn 2021 to summer 2025 and was characterized by the coordination of complex interfaces and high urban planning requirements in an inner-city location. With the commissioning in March 2021, the complete service phase 5 was realized in terms of planning. The first construction phase with 192 condominiums was completed in two sections at the end of 2023 and fall 2024. The second construction phase with 110 condominiums and 96 subsidized apartments followed in summer 2025. The areas for the daycare centre and the two office and commercial units were handed over to the client in the finished shell. The further development of these areas will be carried out by the client. We were responsible for the outdoor facilities of the daycare centre, including the installation and integration of the play equipment.

The completion of both construction phases has created a lively quarter that will sustainably enhance the attractiveness and quality of life in Frankfurt's city centre thanks to the mix of subsidized and privately financed housing, successively complementary commercial space and a daycare centre. The "KLEYERS" project is an example of the successful implementation of a large-volume residential construction project in an inner-city context.

Certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)

Ed. Züblin AG is pursuing several goals with this project: A sustainable construction site organisation, the conservation of resources as well as the minimisation of emissions, responsibility for the health and well-being of the builders, the cultivation of good neighbourliness and, of course, high-quality construction. For this, Ed. Züblin AG was the first company to be recognised by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project

  • (Semi-)finished parts

    The extensive use of (semi-)prefabricated parts (filigree slabs, balcony slabs, stairs) means that a shorter construction time can be achieved. The volume of waste is also reduced thanks to the prefabricated orders.

  • Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction

    As part of the lean approach, a production plan with call-off dates (e.g. insulation) was created. Construction production planning is detailed on a weekly basis and adapted to actual production progress. Changes in the construction process are taken into account on an ongoing basis. Repeat orders and new orders due to late changes to the plan are avoided.

  • Energy management in construction

    Construction site investigations and comparative considerations for the most energy-efficient project execution possible. For example, selection of a large concrete bucket to reduce the number of lifts and the use of LED construction lighting.
