Hello, we would like to build a multigenerational house with 3 apartments for our children and grandchildren. Two apartments would be around 100 square meters (1,076 square feet) each, and one about 80 square meters (861 square feet). We currently own a property ourselves, which we would like to sell. We do not have a building plot yet. What is the best way to approach this? We know it should be a solid construction. Each unit should have its own entrance. Ideally, we would prefer two semi-detached houses and one integrated ground-floor granny flat.

On one hand, how can such a project be financed? What is the best way to proceed? We are all employed full-time. Looking forward to a lively exchange.

Hello,
You have two children, both with their own families.
So, a smaller apartment is to be built for you, and one apartment/semi-detached house for each sibling with their family?
May I ask how large these families are?
100 sqm (1,076 sq ft) for three people can already be quite tight, especially if a cellar replacement room is integrated into each “apartment.” If there is another child, it will become cramped again.
Basically, a three-family house can be designed in several ways: for example, 80 and 100 sqm (861 and 1,076 sq ft) on the ground floor, 140 sqm (1,507 sq ft) on the upper floor. Shared freezer room.

Formation of a civil law partnership (GbR) is feasible.

The idea came up because our house has become too large for us, and we would like to downsize. The children have families with grandchildren. Their apartments are too small.

How about this option: one of the children’s families takes over the parents’ house, and you move with the other children’s family into a house in the same town or a neighboring town that has just one granny flat (also known as a secondary suite). This is also intended to reduce complexity, as three-generation projects rarely come up in the minds of land developers.

Forming a partnership is possible.

In a setup with inheritance-related entanglements between partners, it is, to put it mildly, not straightforward—even if both branches of family F1 have the same marital property regimes. :-)
