A concrete response to the challenges of housing and climate, Luxembourg faces significant real estate pressure, especially in strategic areas like Kirchberg, a district with high potential for urban diversity and sustainable development. At the same time, climatic challenges require reinvention of constructive practices. Kiem 2050 is part of the intersection of these essential issues. The district will offer 135 dwellings from 52 to 136 m2, from the five -room studio, intended for a diversified audience - young workers as families - in an assertive logic of social mix. An innovative co -living model will complete the offer, in line with the evolution of urban lifestyles: more flexible, shared and community.

On average, affordable housing built as part of the project will be offered at a price approximately 30 % lower than the market. The launch of the Kiem 2050 project marks a concrete step in our commitment to responding to the housing crisis.

Build better: Kiem 2050 ecology, sharing and innovation embodies a strong commitment in terms of ecoconstruction. The district is based on bio -based architecture, with solid wood structures - a low carbon and high energy performance material. The project incorporates passive technologies such as the Canadian well, a geothermal source to naturally regulate the interior temperature. Associated with photovoltaic panels installed on roofs, this device makes it possible to reduce energy consumption by almost 20 % compared to traditional buildings. Vegetated roofs complete the sustainable approach, by improving thermal regulation, by promoting biodiversity and contributing to responsible management of rainwater. Sweet mobility is at the heart of the development, with infrastructure dedicated to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. The district is designed to minimize motorized flows, in a logic of well-being and safety. This project embodies the pillars of our strategy: reduction of carbon, circularity, biodiversity and collective well-being, declares Muriel Sam, director general of Imobel. Kiem 2050 is also thought of as a real place of life and meeting. It will offer 400 m2 of interior common spaces, including library, yoga room, creative workshops and shared cooking, promoting exchanges and community initiatives. The active ground floor will create a dynamic interface between private and public space, stimulating the life of the neighborhood thanks to a varied offer of local services. Outside, 5,000 m2 of shared spaces will offer collaborative gardens, rooftop terraces, play areas and relaxation areas - a friendly and peaceful environment in the heart of the city.
