Bremen
Day care centre
Bremen, Germany / 04.2023 - 06.2024
In many cities, daycare places are as scarce as living space – and Bremen is no exception. To counteract this, AMM Holding GmbH, as investor and project developer of the new residential quarter on Osterholzer Heerstraße, integrated a modern daycare center into the neighborhood planning. PORR Hochbau Region Nord constructed the three-story new building with a gross floor area of around 2,051 m² as general contractor. Particularly noteworthy: it is the first sustainably certified daycare center in the Hanseatic city.

PORR and AMM are building the first NH-certified day care centre in Bremen
Neighbourhood keeps young families in Bremen
The Bremen district of Osterholz is located in the east of the city and borders on the district of Verden in Lower Saxony. The structure of the housing stock is diverse and ranges from old farms and terraced housing estates to high-rise blocks in ‘Little Manhattan’. The fact that 30 terraced houses and 2 apartment blocks, including a day-care centre, have now been built on a plot of land measuring around 38,000 m2 that has been derelict for many years is particularly good news for young Bremen families.
Focus on sustainability
The facility meets the requirements of an Efficiency House 40 NH. A photovoltaic system was installed on more than half of the roof area. To ensure safe and efficient installation, the project team opted for an inverted roof: the waterproof concrete roof serves as a sealing layer and eliminates the need for additional plastic roofing membranes.
Sustainability was also a key focus in other areas. DGNB Gold certification is already in the planning stage. The use of diesel for heating the building was deliberately avoided—air heat pumps were used instead. Ecological concerns were also taken into account: the existing tree population was preserved in its entirety, which is why the area was fenced off and protected during the construction period. The client took care of the irrigation. Even at temperatures well below freezing, a mobile heat pump ensured reliable heating.
Early handover thanks to trusting cooperation
Even during the tendering and calculation phase, the project was characterized by trusting cooperation between all parties involved – a key success factor for rapid construction progress and on-time completion.
In May 2024, the new building was handed over to the operator of the care facility, Conpart – thanks to the smooth running of the project, even a few weeks earlier than originally planned. The three-story building with staggered flat roofs offers space for six groups and a total of 100 children.
