Bocholt investor plans flats for young people in Kubaai
There will soon be new rental flats for young adults and students in Bocholt's Kubaai. Bocholt-based Thomas Duvenbeck Invest GmbH is planning a new building next to the Lernwerk, which will reconcile the history of the textile mill with requirements for modern living.

The building project is called "TOHUUS" and will provide modern one-bedroom living facilities, geared to the needs of students and young adults. "We are combining attractive living space in a good location with the feeling of being at home," says investor Thomas Duvenbeck.
Together with a local architecture studio and property developer, 50 residential units are to be built, giving the historically shaped area even more character with urban living concepts, while meeting modern comfort and quality requirements at rental prices in line with the market, says the investor.
"The project fits perfectly into the concept of our cultural quarter, both architecturally and in terms of its orientation towards young adults and students. This will make KuBAai even more attractive as a future cultural focal point of the city of Bocholt," says Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff.
Simple. Better. Living.
"Student housing is the perfect complement next to the Lernwerk," says city building officer Daniel Zöhler as well. "I am particularly pleased with the architectural harmony in the interplay with the Lernwerk and the great inner courtyard that will be created around the chimney," says Zöhler.
The planned residential building is to be built on the rear construction site, which borders the Lernwerk to the north-east, directly next to the new hotel building that is also planned. The investor wants to develop the project according to the guiding principle "Simple. Better. Live. realise.
