Five large residential projects are currently under construction. Changed framework conditions also promote timber construction among non-profit organizations.
Salzburg’s largest timber construction sites show that modern timber construction has become an integral part of multi-storey residential buildings.
Five residential complexes in Salzburg show the advantages of multi-storey timber construction
The advantages of timber construction: a high degree of prefabrication, high quality of workmanship, shorter assembly times and fewer interfaces. Exemplary here are five residential complexes with a total of 292 apartments for the people of Salzburg, spread over three districts.
These five projects in the state of Salzburg alone show the importance of wood as a raw material in multi-storey residential construction. 292 apartments – owner-occupied, rented and subsidized apartments – can be found in the exposés and are created in the projects of SIGES, the GSWB and the private companies Katharina and Nikolaus Richter-Wallmann (Hirschen-Hotel). Specifically, these are the Sagergut projects in Thalgau by SIGES with 70 condominiums and ten rental apartments, as well as the wooden house residential park in Nußdorf, also by SIGES, with 18 condominiums. The “Wohnen am Kreuzfeld” with 18 condominiums in Mittersill is from the same developer. In addition, there is the extraordinary project “Am Hirschengrün” in the city of Salzburg at the Hirschen Hotel near the train station with 40 apartments and in Hallein-Burgfried “BA 2 & 3” of the GSWB with 136 subsidized apartments or partly condominiums, with “BA 2” already completed is.
“The awards at the Salzburg Timber Construction Prize 2023 have already shown it. And these examples also show that the development of multi-storey residential buildings in timber construction has made great progress in recent years,” says Rudolf Rosenstatter, Chairman of proHolz Salzburg. “It will continue to gain in importance in the future. It’s nice and I’m pleased that projects like this are being implemented from the city of Salzburg to Flachgau and Pinzgau.”
High ecological sustainability of the raw material wood in residential construction
Timber construction is characterized by a high level of ecological sustainability as a renewable and CO₂-neutral raw material in multi-storey timber construction. The increased use of wood can achieve both ecological and economic advantages. “The raw material shows its effectiveness as a CO₂ store in the 3,000 cubic meters of wood used in the Sagergut in Thalgau. The material used there stores the equivalent of 3,000 tons of CO₂ and, as a residential building, makes its contribution to achieving the Salzburg climate goals.” For Provincial Councilor Josef Schwaiger, it is particularly pleasing that the prerequisites for more timber construction are now also in place for non-profit organizations.
