An economic interest group (GIE), Nei Hollerich, was charged with developing the plans, which it submitted to the City of Luxembourg in December 2020. The Ville de Luxembourg published them on 29 March, giving members of the public 30 days to submit questions and comments about the project to the commune.
The GIE acts on behalf of the landowners, including Paul Wurth, Landimmo Real Estate and the Luxembourg pension fund (FDC).
Located near Luxembourg City’s central train station, Hollerich is historically an industrial district, although much of activity has ceased. In 2004, Paul Wurth closed its production site in Hollerich. Cigarette maker Heintz van Landewyck in 2015 announced it was moving its factory to the north of the country.
