KFR presents at BFW online seminar on the new Building Land Mobilization Act

The Bundestag recently passed the Building Land Mobilization Act. It is primarily intended to contribute to the creation of more (affordable) housing and to strengthen the powers and influence of municipalities.
Yesterday, Dr. Henrik Kirchhoff and Carlotta Zimmermann (née Vohl) presented at an online seminar of the BFW Regional Association North on the construction law changes introduced by the Building Land Mobilization Act.

Key topics of the seminar

The focus was on the implications for residential construction practice, in particular through

• the strengthening of municipal pre-emption rights,
• the expansion of exemption possibilities from land use planning provisions and
• the planned prohibition on the conversion of rental apartments into condominiums in areas with a strained housing market.

The Act is intended to accelerate residential construction and give municipalities more room to maneuver in order to activate building land and promote housing preservation.
It strengthens municipal control of construction projects and is intended to facilitate the creation of affordable housing.
