Germany - Sale of land for the development of intergenerational housing and living space in the "Vellmar West" district - expression of interest procedure

Description

In the town of Vellmar, there is a considerable need for the creation of intergenerational housing and living space in order to do justice to today's demographic development. This is to take place in central-local areas within the urban area. Against this background, the town of Vellmar sees considerable development potential on the site of the former community center in the "Vellmar-West" area and the Johanneskirche Vellmar-West church of the Protestant parish of Vellmar. The city of Vellmar and the Protestant parish of Vellmar intend to restructure this "Vellmar-West" district in terms of urban development and create housing and areas for senior citizens and social services. In the residential area to be developed, the establishment of catering uses is to be included, as the "Vellmar-West" district square serves as a spatial interface to neighboring residential areas.
The land parcels 88/3, 88/4 and 88/5 (areas of the community center Vellmar-West) are owned by the city of Vellmar and the Protestant parish of Vellmar owns the land parcels 88/2 and 88/11 (Johanneskirche Vellmar-West). The neighborhood square has a total plot area of approx. 10,500 m². It is intended to realize building areas of approx. 3,000 m² with corresponding living and usable areas of approx. 6,750 m² net.
As part of the restructuring, the operation of the "Vellmar-West" community center, which is currently used by local clubs and associations, the municipal youth work, the Vellmar-West day nursery, the social welfare center and for meetings of the municipal committees as well as for rental purposes, will be discontinued. These uses, in particular the cultural uses for local clubs and associations to carry out their club work or for cultural exchange, the tasks of youth work and the social welfare center should also remain located in the new quarter to be created and be integrated.
The city will draw up a generally binding development plan in consultation with the selected developer to replace the previous development plan no. 20 B from 1975, including its amendment in 1982.
The object of this expression of interest procedure is the sale of the aforementioned plots to developers who will acquire the plots and develop the "Vellmar-West" neighborhood square in their own name and for their own account in line with the aforementioned urban development objectives. The selected developer must either manage the various uses of space in the quarter itself or, in agreement with the town of Vellmar and the Protestant parish, lease, rent or sell them to suitable operators or private and public institutions. This expression of interest procedure serves to select a suitable developer. The sale will be made to the developer who has submitted the most cost-effective offer based on the award criteria as part of a price and concept evaluation. The most cost-effective bid will be assessed on the basis of the highest bid price for the land to be acquired (20%) and on the basis of the urban development project concept (80%), which is expected to provide the best urban development implementation, taking into account the aforementioned objectives for the creation of intergenerational housing and living space as well as other useful complementary uses as part of the "Vellmar-West" neighborhood development. The sale of the land is not linked to any public building contract by the city.
A minimum price of €180.00/m² applies to the purchase of land.
Offers that are below the minimum price can be excluded from the expression of interest procedure.
The buyer must carry out the realization at his own economic risk and calculation. Additional payments or the payment of compensation by the City of Vellmar or the Evangelical Parish of Vellmar are not envisaged.
A combined land purchase agreement and urban development contract will be agreed with the developer who is awarded the contract at the end of the procedure and subsequently notarized.
