At its core, ecobuilding stands for a new way of building and a new kind of buildings and neighborhoods.

The acute shortage of skilled workers is squeezing many sectors of the economy – including the construction and real estate industry. The lack of skilled workers is also noticeable at the Gröner Group.

In Karlsfeld, on the northwestern outskirts of Munich, the nationwide real estate developer Gröner Group is developing a forward-looking, mixed-use quarter for modern living and working on a site of almost 5 hectares.

In spite of automated processes, construction specialists and those in the skilled trades are anything but superfluous. In fact, the industry has long suffered from a shortage of new workers. That is why Christoph Gröner already started many years ago to draw up plans for an in-house training facility: the innovation centre in Leipzig.

Construction work on our Hofgarten Karree project in Karlsruhe is progressing steadily. Completion of the entire ensemble, consisting of three new buildings and six core-renovated listed existing buildings, is expected in about a year.

Interview with Dr Rainer Fauth, Sustainability Project Manager at CG Plan GmbH

The Hofgarten Karree project in the Nordweststadt area of Karlsruhe is setting standards, not just in terms of quality and the way it combines modern new builds and renovated listed structures but also for its sophisticated e-mobility solution.

The advantages of prefabrication are obvious: on the one hand, highly efficient, cheaper and faster production, and on the other hand, the reduction of classic sources of error. Read the interview with Jörg Theves, plant manager at the EMC precast plant near Erfurt.

Berlin. What’s in right now? Getting back to essentials! Which makes the new CG Magazine very much in line with current trends. This year, it is not only the minimalist layout of the magazine that is so compelling but also its publication date.
