Examining the harmony between the offered assistance and the regulations of the internal market was another aspect the Commission addressed.
In a significant stride towards securing skilled workers and bolstering the appeal of HSK as an employer, the construction of HSK staff apartments has been initiated. This project, aimed at alleviating the tense housing market and strengthening the health location of Wiesbaden, will see ten buildings with a total living area of around 12,500 square meters completed by autumn 2027.
The sub-lease right for the construction of these apartments has been granted by Angela Tausendpfund, CEO of EGW, to GWW. The HSK's Chairperson of the Supervisory Board, Milena Löbcke, has emphasised the project's importance for nursing, medical-technical professions, and functional services.
The apartments, ranging from one-room (38 square meters) to six-room (131 square meters), are designed for shared living and will be reserved exclusively for employees of the nearby HSK. The project addresses the lack of affordable housing and the shortage of skilled workers in healthcare.
The construction method combines sustainability with modern architecture, using cross-laminated timber for walls, prefabricated bathroom modules, solid construction staircases, and reinforced concrete hollow-core slabs. Heating will be provided via district heating, and the roofs will be greened and equipped with photovoltaic systems.
Apartments will feature balconies, underfloor heating, and mechanical ventilation. The project also includes the creation of green outdoor spaces, a neighbourhood square, and a children's playground. The apartments' proximity to work and strong social infrastructure, including good shopping opportunities and public transport connections, enhance the quality of life and security of skilled workers.
The owner of the approximately 168 apartments intended for employees of the nearby HSK (Hochsauerlandklinik) has not been explicitly stated in the provided search results. No direct information about the ownership of these specific apartments or the project related to HSK staff housing was found in the given sources.
Citizens with questions regarding the HSK staff apartments can contact the responsible department or office for more information. This press release was issued by the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden. The construction of these apartments is being carried out by the general contractor B&O, with GWW investing approximately 50 million euros in the project. The HSK staff apartments project is central to the clinic and healthcare provision.
