Building crisis in Berlin: Why Christoph Gröner has not been building for two years

Christoph Gröner, one of the well -known builders in Germany, has implemented its business headquarters in Berlin, but no construction projects in the capital in the past two years. He generously donated to the Berlin CDU and nevertheless committed himself as a convinced social democrat. Gröner expressed that the increased property prices in Berlin are an obstacle to affordable living space, since the building land costs have increased significantly.

When he started construction projects in Berlin over ten years ago, the property prices were much lower than today. The increasing construction costs do not primarily contribute to the high rental prices; Rather, the exorbitant property costs are a main cause. Gröner criticizes that narrow properties are all too often left to speculators, which drives the total cost of real estate.

Despite the potential in Berlin, Gröner has only realized a few projects in the past two years because the property prices have risen drastically. The purchasing power of the Berliners is no longer sufficient to cover the high property prices, which is why he has reduced his commitment in the capital. Gröner advocates a healthy mix of social housing and freely financed living space in Berlin to ensure affordable living space for a broad population.

GRÖNER emphasizes that the political landscape in relation to housing is ideologically contaminated and that the cooperation between politics and real estate management is often challenged. He proposes to tackle housing as a non -partisan concern in order to quickly and efficiently create more living space and to combat the lack of housing in Berlin. Otherwise, political inactivity and persistent lack of housing could lead to social unrest that endanger democratic principles.
