About this apartment

Important project update: The new-build project in Markkleeberg-Ost is being significantly upgraded energetically compared with the previous plans and will in future be realized to the KfW-40 standard with QNG-PLUS certification. In addition, a photovoltaic system will be installed. This improves the project’s energy efficiency and sustainable orientation—with advantages in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability, potential subsidies, tax conditions, ongoing costs and long-term value retention.

In a quiet location in Markkleeberg, not far from Lake Markkleeberg, a modern, four-storey apartment building with underground parking is being constructed. Clear architecture, high-quality fittings and a future-oriented energy concept characterize the project. A heat pump, photovoltaic system, KfW-40 standard and QNG-PLUS certification provide the basis for low consumption values, modern building technology and long-term attractive residential and investment quality.

The 2-room apartment with approx. 70 m² of living space on the top floor impresses with a well-designed floor plan featuring an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area as its central focal point. Generous window areas provide bright rooms and a balanced living atmosphere. A spacious balcony extends the living space outdoors.

The fittings are high-quality and modern. Energy-efficient uPVC windows and underfloor heating with individual room control provide contemporary living comfort. The brand-oriented interior fittings include, among other things, sanitary fixtures by Villeroy & Boch. Wall and floor coverings can be selected from a coordinated range during the specification process.

Each apartment includes a separate cellar room. A communal drying room is also available. Covered storage areas for bicycles, wheelchairs and prams are planned outdoors.

Access to the underground garage is entirely below ground, keeping the property free of cars. The underground parking spaces are a comfortable 2.70 m wide and also allow larger vehicles to maneuver easily. A parking space costs 35,000 EUR.

The new-build project is designed with reduced thresholds and enables comfortable, almost barrier-free access to all levels. In the current planning phase, individual adaptations within the apartments are possible in order to support more extensive barrier-free use if required.

The KfW-40 standard with QNG-PLUS certification can also be economicallyrelevant. Subject to the individual and property-specific requirements, it may provide access to low-interest KfW promotional loans. Under the “Climate-Friendly New Build” program, promotional loans of up to EUR 150,000 per residential unit may be available if the requirements are met accordingly. Further funding programs may be considered for families using the property themselves.

For investors, the energy-efficient and sustainable quality may also be relevant for tax purposes. For rented new-build apartments, depending on the personal requirements, the acquisition structure and the statutory framework, special depreciation allowances under Section 7b of the German Income Tax Act (EStG) and declining-balance depreciation may, among other things, be considered. The tax treatment should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with a tax adviser.

The combination of modern architecture, high-quality fittings, a heat pump, a photovoltaic system and the planned KfW-40/QNG-PLUS standard makes this new-build apartment in Markkleeberg-Ost a property with long-term prospects. For owner-occupiers and investors, the project combines quality of living, energy efficiency, funding potential and value stability—in a quiet location near Lake Markkleeberg.
