Frankfurt’s Hybrid School and Affordable Housing Project Breaks Ground in Schönhof

Frankfurt’s Schönhof district is set to become home to Hesse’s first hybrid school, combined with affordable housing above. The project, led by the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt (NHW) group, aims to create a new kind of urban community. Funding of around €23 million from the state and city will support the development of this hybrid school project, which is expected to finish by mid-2027.

The hybrid school will occupy the ground floor of the building, designed to offer modern, inclusive learning spaces. Above it, 134 rental apartments will range from 43.5 to 102.5 square metres, catering to singles, couples, and families. Of these, 123 apartments will receive direct subsidies—€11.6 million from the state of Hesse and €11.3 million from Frankfurt.

The development is part of a larger project management plan for the Schönhof district, which includes around 2,000 new apartments, a 28,000-square-metre park, and a central neighbourhood square. The project is seen as a model for combining education and affordable living in one space. Located on Baufeld G in Bockenheim, it will function as a four-track inclusive all-day school with housing directly above. Construction is underway, with completion targeted for mid-2027. The initiative reflects efforts to address housing shortages while fostering community through integrated infrastructure.

Once finished, the hybrid school and apartments will form a key part of Frankfurt’s growing Schönhof district. The project’s mix of education and subsidised housing is intended to support long-term affordability and social cohesion. Funding from Hesse and the city ensures that most apartments will remain accessible to a wide range of residents.
