Salvador Allende Platz 9–23

The needs of the tenants of the flat in question are noted down in precise terms. Should everything remain as it is, or is there a request for change, for example regarding the size of the flat or the residential area? Based on this information, our letting agent, who is present at the talks, can make the tenants a suitable flat offer from our current stock. After the initial conversation, there is enough time to consider everything calmly so that no one feels overwhelmed.

We know that this situation is not easy for our tenants. It would be helpful to think about what you want in advance. But there is no need to prepare anything in written form. You can simply listen to what the colleagues responsible for move management and leasing have to offer.

During the talks, the tenants receive the contact details of Ms Schmidt from the Move Management team and Mr Beck from the Leasing Team. Both can be contacted at any time by phone, or by e-mail when they are on the road. Ms Schmidt primarily takes care of organisational questions regarding the move and individual support, while Mr Beck submits the flat offers.

Our aim is to find the right flat for each tenant. A personal conversation is the best way to do this. In such a conversation, it is also possible to find out at if and what kind of extra support is needed, for example with packing or the like.

The renovation measures are prepared interactively in colaboration of the responsible departments of jenawohnen. Then, our tenant advisors, caretakers and social management work together with the planning offices in order to determine the expected scope of the tasks, and to be able to plan these measures sensibly. In addition to the technically necessary maintenance and repair measures, possible and sensible optimisations are also examined, such as a differentiation of the housing offers.

We renovate with varying degrees of effort, i. e. there are individual measures or combinations of measures. We always consider whether this can take place with tenants staying in their flats, or whether it is necessary to vacate the building. In the case of very extensive refurbishments, vacating the building is advantageous for everyone: we can work faster and more efficiently, and the burden on the tenants remains as low as possible. Those tenants who are intersted in returning to their flats can do so much more quickly.

The technical condition of the buildings at Salvador-Allende-Platz corresponds to that of 1983. In addition, there are signs of material fatigue, which in the worst case can lead to serious damage such as burst pipes. To make the buildings modren and safe, they need to be renovated.

The renovation work at the SAP is very extensive in order to enable climate-efficient and barrier-free living in the future: Supply and disposal lines will be renewed, as well as electrical lines, heating, ventilation and sanitary lines. Floors and lifts are to be redone completely, too.

Moving out of the buildings is unavoidable because the burden on the respective tenants would be unacceptable. It is not only the building itself that is to be renovated, but also each individual flat.

The plan is to refurbish in two construction phases, one entrance/staircase after the other. We assume that the first tenants will be able to move in again at the end of 2024. All in all, the refurbishment work is scheduled to last until around 2027.

To explain: The SAP is a WBS 70 housing series, a type of prefabricated housing that was common in the GDR. There are other housing associations that are dismantling these buildings today. However, because of the great need for affordable housing in Jena, we want to renovate the flats and bring them up to date.
