Schröder Holding GmbH has acquired a plot of the “Gartenstadt” residential development in the small town of Taucha, north-east of Leipzig, from a project company of the Süß Group and the real estate developer ARCADIA Investment Group. On the approximately 6,650 square metre plot, the grocer EDEKA will realise a full-range supermarket on approximately 1,700 square metres of sales area. The new grocery store forms the northern end of the residential development on Eilenburger Straße. The parties to the contract have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

With the resolution of the city of Taucha on 11 February 2021, the newly drawn up development plan of the “Gartenstadt” has obtained legal force. The property development for the construction of the EDEKA market is expected to start in the second quarter of 2021 and will be carried out by the sellers before the land is handed over to the new owner. Construction is expected to start as early as autumn 2021. The new grocery store will be connected by the access road from Eilenburger Straße, which has yet to be built.

The EDEKA grocery store is not only intended to benefit the residents of the future residential quarter, but in particular to close the supply gap in the east of the small town. “The opening of the EDEKA store marks an important step in the realisation of the overall quarter and increases the attractiveness of Taucha as a residential location,” says Alexander Folz, Managing Partner of ARCADIA. Taucha’s positive population development creates the need for shopping facilities for everyday goods and influences the expansion of the supply structures.
