Schadenmühle Ost project invites public participation
A consortium of four private owners and the city of Baden wants to transform the Schadenmühle Ost site into a place to live, work and socialise. Following an information event on the specific plans, the project is now entering the public participation phase.
A consortium of three private landowners and the city of Baden is planning to transform the Schadenmühle Ost site into a place for sustainable, dense and mixed-use living. The current use of the site, which consists of individual buildings, car parks and unused areas, does not meet today’s requirements or the current building and usage regulations, the consortium explains in a press release. The Schadenmühle Ost transformation project aims to create an urban area with around 100 flats, flexible commercial space, green areas and an underground car park.
On 16 September, the consortium presented the project and its integration into the city’s urban development plans for Baden at an information event. This marked the start of a new phase for the flagship project, according to the press release: from 22 September to 21 October, interested parties can now submit comments and suggestions on or objections to the Schadenmühle Ost design plan. The consortium is providing detailed information on the project on an information portal.
“We are rooted in Baden and it is important to us to make the Schadenmühle Ost site attractive for the city,” Beni Schmocker, one of the four landowners, is quoted as saying in the press release. “Involving the local population is a matter of course for the landowners.”
