SUSTAINABILITY

KfW40-QNG STANDARD

With the KfW40-QNG seal, both owner-occupiers and tenants benefit from particularly low heating and operating costs. KfW40 means that a building requires only 40 percent of the primary energy demand of a legally defined reference building. QNG stands for “Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings”. It certifies sustainable construction and high energy efficiency, making this property a modern and future-proof building. Especially in times of rising energy costs, energy-efficient apartments are in high demand. This has a positive long-term impact on the property’s value.

• Max. 40 percent primary energy demand compared to the reference building
• Low CO² emissions
• High-quality insulation & modern heating technology: air-to-water heat pump
• Compliance with health-related and low-emission construction standards
• Project supervision by certified energy efficiency experts

INVEST TODAY WHERE DEMAND IS RISING TOMORROW

On the doorstep of the Frankfurt am Main metropolitan region

Immediately north of Frankfurt am Main begins the Wetterau district, one of the oldest cultural landscapes in Europe. A region with a rich past, a vibrant present and a prosperous future. Fourteen towns and eleven municipalities across approx. 1,100 km² offer quality of life, dynamism and opportunities for businesses and families alike.

Around 324,000 residents appreciate the high quality of life, strong educational and childcare facilities, and a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. The fertile soils ensure flourishing fields and rich harvests, which is why the Wetterau is often referred to as the granary of Hesse.

Facts

• Ober-Mörlen – Frankfurt a. M.: 25 minutes by car
• Ober-Mörlen – Frankfurt Airport: 30 minutes by car
• Bad Nauheim station: RE, RB, IC connections
• Renowned employers nearby: Ambu, Eurobaustoff, Microbox, Sanden

WHY PAY MORE TAX THAN NECESSARY?

Invest capital, save taxes

Thanks to the KfW40-QNG standard, Horizont³ meets the requirements for special depreciation in accordance with Section 7b of the German Income Tax Act (EStG). Subject to compliance with certain criteria, purchasers can claim additional depreciation beyond the regular allowance during the first four years after purchase: 5 percent of construction costs plus declining-balance depreciation of 5 percent. This enables investors to achieve considerable tax advantages.

6 requirements for special depreciation

1. New construction or initial creation of rental apartments
2. Acquisition or construction costs max. €5,200/m² living space (incl. ancillary costs, excl. land)
3. Assessment basis: €4,000 per square metre of living space
4. Building permit issued between 01.01.2023 and 30.09.2029
5. Compliance with the KfW40-QNG standard
6. Letting for residential purposes (min. 10 years)

OBER-MÖRLEN DIRECTLY NEXT TO BAD NAUHEIM

Live quietly, invest strongly

Ober-Mörlen lies directly west of the spa town of Bad Nauheim and has recorded continuous growth since 2015. The quiet residential location near the Hainbach stream, which flows north into the Usa river, is equally ideal for owner-occupiers and tenants.

In neighbouring Bad Nauheim, a renowned spa town with a high quality of life, the residential vacancy rate fell from 3.4 percent to 0.8 percent (latest figures). Across the entire Wetterau district, it stood at 3.6 percent, below the Hessian state average (Census 2022). Residential space is therefore scarce and in high demand, not least due to the excellent road and rail connections to Frankfurt am Main and Giessen.

Facts

• Ober-Mörlen has 6,234 inhabitants (1 Aug 2025)
• Bad Nauheim has 20 specialist clinics & hospitals
• Only five minutes by car to the A5 towards Frankfurt a. M.
• High recreational value in the spa town and the Taunus region
• Friedberg (administrative centre of the Wetterau district) just 7.3 km away
