Development of the Main Au neighborhood in Hanau-Großauheim
We’re thrilled that this site beside the River Main will soon become home to new rental apartments and condominiums, not to mention housing-related businesses, retail outlets, restaurants and cafés, a day care center, and lots of other facilities that will complement Hanau’s growth in a sustainable way.

"The Bautz site is excellently suited for conversion into a residential quarter due to its location and layout. At the same time, it is important to create the necessary infrastructure facilities here. This will turn the quarter into a well-functioning, attractive new neighbourhood directly on the banks of the Main."
“We are building a sustainable neighborhood that will be suitable for people of all ages, in line with Hanau’s municipal objective of creating new residential areas. We are delighted to be able to contribute our many years of experience in housing construction by developing the site. This will lead to feel-good neighborhoods for all residents, plus a green park for the area. Our slogan is Happy Living, and this more than fits the bill.”
“Everyone in the project team has their own personal connection with Hanau. The BUWOG office is located here and lots of us live in the town, too. We do our planning from Hanau, designing neighborhoods across the state of Hesse. In this case, the Bautz site offers a very special opportunity to create a livable neighborhood that the new residents can be proud to call home. In other words, we’re twice as driven to achieve great things here!”

The Bautz site development is picking up speed again. On February 7, 2022, Hanau City Council made the landmark decision to approve the development of the former Bautz Business Park. This decision on draft planning and disclosure laid the groundwork for the Großauheim/Wolfgang local advisory board and the city council to address the project at their upcoming meetings. The disclosure of the development plan is scheduled for April 19, 2022. At that point, all of the documents will appear on the official website of Hanau City Council.
The new site will be designed by BUWOG. Founded in 1951, BUWOG is now one of the most successful German-Austrian full-service providers within the residential real estate sector.

BUWOG creates the kind of living spaces that suit all generations, plus facilities that go hand-in-hand with residential areas, like day care centers, promenades, green areas, play areas, and spaces for people to meet. BUWOG currently has around 55,000 homes in construction or planning across Germany.
BUWOG’s slogan is Happy Living, and it’s as good as its word: BUWOG designs neighborhoods with a suitable mix of homes for every lifestyle, from students and families all the way through to accessible apartments for senior citizens.
In 2020, BUWOG won the German Housing Award, which is issued by bodies including the Bundesstiftung Baukultur. It followed this up by being named Sustainable Brand of the Year in 2021.
The Bautz site development, which had previously been started by Hanau-based property developer Bien-Ries, was taken over by BUWOG in 2020 and will be implemented over the next few years. By taking over and extending the Bien-Ries offices in Hanau and keeping on all of its employees, BUWOG has ensured a high level of continuity in terms of staff and concepts, which is now coupled with professional expertise in developing large-scale neighborhoods.
