HBB completes the shopping and service centre in “Liebigstraße”

Langen, 26 April 2019. On “Liebigstraße”, north of Langen’s train station, things are happening: The project developer, “HBB Hanseatische Betreuungs- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft” from Hamburg is developing there a shopping and service centre with a mixed usage of retail, services and fitness. Over the space of 17,000 square metres will rise a two-storey newbuild and a neighbouring car park, as well as exterior parking lots. Harald Ortner, HBB’s Managing Director, explains the concept behind the project: “With this newbuild, we are giving local residents some brand new opportunities and showing that there is life in the district. By bundling various usage possibilities under one roof, a centre can be created within a short distance.” Plans by the project’s developers place great emphasis on a high quality of stay there. The general contractor, “LIST Bau Nordhorn” has been charged with the turnkey construction of the building complex. “The final works are running at full steam. Presumably, the newbuild can start to rise up into the air at the end of May”, according to Andreas Brockhaus, Managing Director for “LIST Bau Nordhorn”.

At the same time as the shopping and service centre is being created, so is a housing complex on a neighbouring plot. Mayor Frieder Gebhardt seems delighted by the prompt building of both projects: “The future shopping centre offers local residents and the prospective residents of the neighbouring housing complex a important local supply that can easily be reached on foot. The project makes a decisive difference to the development of the “Liebigstraße” housing complex and is a significant addition to our central service area – we look forward to this newbuild.” Opening is set for mid-2020.
