Construction has begun on the new residential high-rise in Bolzano’s Grieser Auen residential zone. The ten-story building, which will house 35 apartments, is being constructed above ground primarily using timber construction methods. With this project, the Housing Institute is committed to a forward-looking and resource-efficient construction method. The high degree of prefabrication in timber construction enables precise planning and rapid project execution. This shortens the on-site construction time while reducing noise, traffic, and other disruptions for the neighborhood.
