The project film

Around 2 minutes: the site at Lake Kulkwitz, location, product and income logic — visualisations based on the planning, non-binding. The building right (special zone for holiday homes, zoning plan no. 232) has been in force since 2018; the up-to-30 holiday homes are the planning objective stated in the reasoning, not a fixed maximum. Narration in German.

Key facts

As at: July 2026 · from 26 data-room documents · indicative
Site
approx. 26,955 sqm

Owner's figure, plots 98/1, 99/4 and 99/5, land register of Lausen, folio 2140. The land-use balance of zoning plan no. 232 states 14,844 sqm for the special zone SO 10 as a whole, at a site-coverage ratio of 0.3. Which share of that falls to the object of sale is set out in the data room.

Development rights
SO 10 · zoning plan 232

Binding (Part B): max. 60 sqm footprint per building, single-storey, site-coverage ratio 0.3 · zoning plan legally binding since September 2018 · the plan sets no maximum number of houses — 30 holiday homes is the planning objective from the explanatory memorandum · high design flexibility (no building envelopes, no floor-area ratio)

Status
Zoning in place

Land register section III unencumbered · section II carries a redevelopment notice, a drinking-water pipeline easement (KWL) and a right of way and utilities for the City of Leipzig (see risk table) · current building-encumbrance register extract in the data room · site servicing not yet constructed, urban development contract in draft — details and cost allocation in the data room (DD item)

Site servicing
Not constructed

The site servicing has not been physically constructed. Cost-bearing by the City of Leipzig is not evidenced to date — the urban development contract exists only as a 2019 draft. Cost allocation and timing remain an open due-diligence item; the current status and the documents are disclosed in the data room. Access road 5.50 × 56 m

Location & plans

Immediate location

Salzweg 200, 04207 Leipzig — Lausen district, Kulkwitzer See recreation area, City of Leipzig

  • • Leipzig city centre: approx. 10 km
  • • Tram connection in the district (line 1, Lausen terminus)
  • • A 38 motorway (Leipzig-Südwest junction): a few minutes by car
  • • Leipzig/Halle Airport: approx. 25 minutes by car
  • • Land register of Lausen, folio 2140, plots 98/1, 99/4, 99/5
  • • Zoning plan no. 232 "Erholungsgebiet Kulkwitzer See" (special recreational use zone)

The site lies in the Kulkwitzer See recreation area on the western edge of Leipzig — an established local recreation and diving destination, within walking distance of the public beach, directly connected to the city (Lausen tram terminus, B 87 trunk road) and to the tourism growth cluster of the Leipzig Neuseenland lake district. Holiday-home special zones with legally binding development rights below the 20-hectare threshold rarely come to market in this region — the asset matches precisely the search profile of mid-sized resort developers and family offices.

Note on the location: the water surface of Lake Kulkwitz is not covered by the territorial scope of zoning plan no. 232. Between the special zone SO 10 and the water, the plan designates public green space and a shoreline protection strip; the beach in front of the site is public green space.

A holiday-home resort is an income-producing asset — it earns per night. Valued as in the hospitality market: ADR × occupancy × 30 homes → net operating income (NOI) → capitalised at the market yield. 30 homes × 365 nights = 10,950 saleable nights per year at Leipzig's home beach. Model calculation, no guarantee.

Market & price derivation

Residual logic from a developer's perspective, cross-checked against market comparables in the Leipzig Neuseenland lake district. All figures indicative (BKI cost framework), to be firmed up in the data room.

Cost framework (30 holiday homes · 1,800 sqm)
Revenue side: GDV single-unit sell-off (EUR 4,000–5,800/sqm)EUR 7.2 – 10.4m
Construction cost of the holiday homes (serial timber build, EUR 1,500–2,900/sqm · base approx. 2,000)EUR 2.7 – 5.2m
Site servicing, external works, disposal, species-protection/contamination reserveEUR 1.2 – 2.0m
Incidental construction cost (cost group 700: planning, marketing)EUR 1.2 – 1.6m
Developer profit & risk (15–18% of GDV)EUR 1.2 – 1.6m
Supportable land value (residual, standard scenario 1,800 sqm of living space)up to approx. EUR 2.6m
The decisive measure for this asset class, however, is the income value: a holiday-home resort earns per night — ADR × occupancy × 30 homes, capitalised via the NOI (see the operator calculator above). The income-based land value derivation is currently being updated against actual competitor metrics (LAGOVIDA, Lake Hain and others)Income logic

A supportable bid rests on premium pricing (position within the recreation area, legally binding development rights) and the benchmarks on the right — the conservative scenario alone does not capture the location value. That is exactly what the enclosed product and marketing concept in the work package is for.

Market benchmarks, Neuseenland lake district
Tourism development land, mid-range locations (residual)EUR 100–250/sqm
Premium holiday plots, Lake Hain (single-unit sale)approx. EUR 700/sqm

Rates actually achieved in the region (holiday homes, season-dependent)EUR 150–240/night
Demand context (researched metrics)
  • ~3.7 million overnight stays in Leipzig in 2025 — the third consecutive year above pre-pandemic levels (LTM guest statistics)
  • +2.2% holiday-home overnight stays across Germany in 2025, reaching ~55.7 million (a record year, Engel & Völkers market report)
  • Rates actually achieved in the region: regional entry level from approx. EUR 150/night, private holiday homes at Lake Hain from approx. EUR 120/night — and the premium proof point: premium regional holiday homes actually achieves approx. EUR 240–250/night
  • Professional resort competition is thin: effectively only LAGOVIDA + Lagune Kahnsdorf — Lake Kulkwitz, the only established "city lake" with a tram connection, has no modern resort product
  • Year-round footfall on site: diving destination (2 dive centres, underwater park), campsite (~200 pitches), lido, 8 km circular trail
  • New designations are politically difficult (see the opposition in Zwenkau) — legally binding development rights dating from 2018 are the time advantage

Analysis: opportunities, tasks, work package

Opportunities ▾
  • Scarce development rights: a holiday special zone with legally binding development rights within the City of Leipzig, below the 20-hectare threshold of the park chains — structurally scarce in this market area
  • High design flexibility: no building envelopes, no floor-area-ratio limit, roof pitch 10–45° free — product design open from boutique resort to single-unit sales
  • Legally binding development rights since 2018: none of the early-stage planning risk; new designations of tourism special zones are politically hard to push through in this region (see the opposition to the Zwenkau plan) — the time advantage is real
  • Proven demand: neighbouring-lake resorts and the ~100 holiday homes of Lagune Kahnsdorf (Lake Hain) demonstrate a functioning first-sale and rental market; comparable rates EUR 150–240/night, season-dependent
  • The only "city lake": Lake Kulkwitz with a tram connection and established year-round footfall (diving destination with 2 dive centres, campsite with ~200 pitches, lido, 8 km circular trail) — and to date without a modern resort product
  • Site servicing: not yet constructed; planning, conditions and cost allocation are documented in the data room

Suspected legacy contamination (former agricultural co-operative fuel installation, "retained in the register")Geotechnical report 2012 with no proven hazard; excavated material LAGA class Z 0Additional soil-gas investigation (BTEX/CHC) before construction starts; expert supervision of the earthworks
Species protection (sand lizard/red-backed shrike, urban development agreement)CEF/VCEF measures defined by contractA completed measures roadmap is included; site-clearance window Oct–Feb; allow approx. 1 year of lead time
Demolition of legacy structures (concrete areas, slurry tank)Quantities in the data roomDemolition/disposal concept as part of the servicing design
Drainage (infiltration on the site)Stipulated in the zoning plan; depth to groundwater 3.5–4 mDrainage concept (swales/infiltration trenches) in the building design

Permitted use (no permanent residence)Zoning-plan designation: special zone for holiday homesHoliday-letting/operator agreements; the concept is designed for tourism use
Parcelling (2018 concept with 52 parcels)Adaptation to 30 units (planning objective from the memorandum) requiredA revised concept serves as the starting point in the work package
Construction cost (timber build, market environment)Benchmark EUR 2,200–3,000/sqmSerial modules, fixed-price general contractor, phased construction possible
Existing lease (workshop) on the object of saleAccording to the owner's offering document (as at 02/2026) there is a lease over a workshop with a 6-month notice period. The lease has not been made available to us; the location of the building, the rent and the remaining term are open. Sale does not break lease (§ 566 German Civil Code) — the tenancy passes to the acquirer.Production of the lease in the data room; vacant possession as a condition precedent in the purchase agreement; allow for demolition cost of the workshop building in the construction budget.
Encumbrances in section II of the land registerRedevelopment notice (Leipzig-Grünau WK 7/8 redevelopment area — consent requirement under § 144 German Building Code for both sale and construction), drinking-water pipeline easement (KWL), right of way and utilities for the City of Leipzig. Section III is unencumbered.Full land-register inspection and a current building-encumbrance register extract for all three plots in the data room; have the effect of the easements on developability assessed.

Principle: the zoning is in place — plan no. 232 / SO 10 has been legally binding since 2018; it sets no maximum number of houses (planning objective from the memorandum: max. 30). Binding are GRZ 0.3, max. 60 sqm footprint per building and 1 full storey — a denser layout within the GRZ is possible in principle, but subject to agreement with the City of Leipzig in each case (where applicable via an exemption under § 31 (2) BauGB or a plan amendment); no guaranteed building right. Open items remain: site servicing (not constructed), the urban development contract and cost allocation; these are disclosed in the data room and are for the buyer to review.
