New residential project in Hallwang completed and handed over to residents

After two years of construction, Salzburg Wohnbau has officially completed a residential building project in Hallwang, delivering 22 subsidized rental apartments to new residents. The development provides modern living spaces that range from 49 to 94 square meters, designed with contemporary layouts and energy-efficient features to enhance comfort and sustainability.

Built to modern energy standards, the project incorporates high-quality thermal insulation and an optimized building envelope to minimize heat loss. Energy-efficient windows, passive house construction, and a solar thermal system contribute to reducing overall energy consumption and heating costs. Each apartment comes with a private balcony or garden, while covered carport spaces ensure ample parking for residents.

Located in a well-connected area, the development benefits from proximity to the Hallwang-Elixhausen train station and essential services, including childcare centers, primary schools, medical facilities, banks, and shops. The combination of accessibility and infrastructure makes it a practical choice for families and individuals seeking affordable housing.

Hallwang’s mayor, Johannes Ebner, highlighted the importance of the project in addressing the town’s housing needs. “This development is a great asset to our community, providing much-needed rental apartments for our residents,” he stated. The total construction costs amounted to €5.3 million, with a gross rent of just under €12 per square meter, covering heating and mobility expenses.

According to Georg Grundbichler, managing director of Salzburg Wohnbau, the project represents a long-term commitment to affordable housing in the region. “With an investment of €3.9 million from housing subsidy funds, we are ensuring the availability of cost-effective living spaces in Hallwang,” he explained. State councillor Martin Zauner emphasized the role of government support in making these apartments accessible, stating that state-funded housing subsidies have been instrumental in enabling families to afford quality homes.

Sustainability was a key focus during the construction process. Thomas Maierhofer, another managing director of Salzburg Wohnbau, underlined the commitment to environmentally friendly construction through the use of renewable energy sources and modern building materials. He also pointed out the project’s economic benefits, stating, “By relying on local companies and sustainable value chains, we are not only prioritizing ecological living but also strengthening the regional economy.”

The completion of this project marks a significant step in expanding affordable and sustainable housing in Hallwang, ensuring that residents have access to high-quality homes while supporting economic and environmental sustainability in the region.
