The new sustainable, innovative, and resilient neighbourhood in Esch-sur-Alzette

Certifications and innovations

Environmental Commitments and Certifications

We are pushing the boundaries of sustainability with buildings designed to meet the highest standards of energy efficiency.

Our residences and commercial spaces benefit from advanced environmental certifications, including Carbon Footprint Neutral, ensuring a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

The innovative geothermal based heating and cooling network highlights our dedication to environmentally responsible development.

Spaces Designed for Community Living

As the first neighbourhood in Europe to be precertified WELL Community, Rout Lëns is built around the idea of togetherness.

Coworking areas, multipurpose rooms, leisure and sports spaces, a neighbourhood concierge service and shared mobility options are all designed to support a harmonious community life.

Some residential projects will feature “Lënslounges,” shared open air living spaces, while rooftops will include vegetable gardens, greenhouses and relaxation areas with stunning views over the district.

Biodiversity

  • Green terraces
    Outdoor spaces are prioritised with a community focused approach to encourage togetherness throughout the neighbourhood.
  • 6,000 square metres to cultivate
    6,000 square metres will be dedicated to urban farming to provide fruits and vegetables to part of the population.
  • 700 trees planted
    700 trees will be planted throughout the district to bring nature back into this former industrial site.
  • Rainwater harvesting
    Thanks to 50 percent green roofs, rainwater will be collected and used to irrigate green spaces.
