Hohental completes 29 rental apartments in Oer-Erkenschwick

"With the completion of the project, we will be able to provide the municipality of Oer-Erkenschwick with the urgently needed living space," says Frank Illmann, Managing Partner at Hohental. "Modern apartments with a sustainable energy concept are in particularly high demand, because they offer a high level of living comfort and ensure moderate ancillary costs in the long term."

Hohental accompanied the construction project in work phases 1 to 9. Construction began in August 2024. The building has a retention roof with a PV system and an air-to-water heat pump for a sustainable supply of energy. The façade is provided with a strap-plaster combination as well as powder-coated sheet metal and perforated sheet metal elements.
