Am Auenpark - Einfamilienhäuser

Project description

Living is the future – the future is being created here: On a site of approx. 51 hectares directly adjacent to Auenpark in Selm, we are developing over the next five years, in 9 construction phases, a quiet, multi-generational residential quarter with 128 detached houses and 82 condominiums in 6 apartment buildings. Completion is planned for 2026.

In the 2nd and 3rd construction phases, a variety of detached houses are being built, some already ready for occupancy. From terraced houses and semi-detached houses to fully detached single-family homes, there is something for every taste. A private garden and terrace are naturally part of the all-round feel-good package – and the attractive design also looks to the future with consistently greened roof surfaces.

Newly available: With the 4th and 5th construction phases, the range of houses is being expanded. Additional semi-detached houses as well as terraced houses (mid- and end-terrace units) complement the existing house types. The new homes impress with clear layouts and light-filled living areas. Private outdoor areas are of course included: terrace and private garden, and depending on the house type an additional roof terrace. Some homes are also (fully) basemented; depending on the unit, garage, carport and/or parking space are available.

The new homes are being realised to the efficiency house 40 standard. An air-source heat pump ensures energy-efficient heating, complemented by photovoltaic systems and underfloor heating for high residential comfort. The design concept also includes extensively greened roof surfaces – including on ancillary buildings.

The quarter development is characterised by well-maintained outdoor areas arranged around a green central square. Greenery and proximity to nature are key features of the project, which transitions into the public landscape park and also stands out with green roof surfaces on carports. The integration of two watercourses between the construction phases additionally offers opportunities for local recreation right outside your door. For the detached houses, 7 carport installations and so-called “park barns” are planned. Parking spaces with electric charging stations are also planned on the site.

The quarter is accessed via two planned main entrances from Münsterlandstraße. Within the new neighbourhood, mixed-traffic areas and especially traffic-calmed play streets are being developed. The bicycle-friendly route layout connects the residential area not only with the adjoining landscape park but also with the town centre. Environmental heat is used for heating and hot water via air-source heat pumps.

Welcome to the green

Selm describes itself as the “gateway to Münsterland”, surrounded by agricultural land and extensive woodland areas. The landscape is interwoven with numerous streams. The wide open spaces and lush nature are appreciated both by residents and by people from neighbouring metropolitan areas.

The development area lives up to its name and directly borders Auenpark. This public park, completed in 2020, offers extensive green spaces and leisure and fitness facilities alongside a renaturalised watercourse. In addition to playgrounds, a “viewing station” and the 10-metre-high Auenhügel with accessible light dome, permanently installed sun loungers invite relaxation. The adjoining Sandforter Weg is designated as a bicycle street, which will in future also run through the development area.

The town offers kindergartens and schools of all types, as well as further cultural and educational facilities and an outdoor swimming pool. Adjacent to Auenpark are sports facilities, a skate park and the youth centre “Sunshine”.

Not far from the listed former miners’ settlement lies the market square with a colourful range of shops. Selm also features a historic old town with gastronomy and evening leisure options.

The town lies on the Dortmund/Enschede railway line. Three railway stations and a bus network ensure short distances within the town and connect the individual districts in the compact urban area. A well-developed road network provides fast connections to the Ruhr region as well as to Münsterland and towards the neighbouring Netherlands.
