ᐅ Floor plan of a multi-family house with 4 residential units

As I said, I don’t personally place much importance on living space. A 50 sqm (540 sq ft) two-room apartment is sufficient for me.
I will also move to the upper floor… Regarding the parking spaces, Climbee is right. I checked the community’s parking regulations again.
From 25 sqm (270 sq ft) of living space, two parking spaces are required.

According to my acquaintance, the plot with a house size of 16 x 12.5 meters (52.5 x 41 feet) is fully utilized… no more is possible due to setback requirements, etc.

Here is a draft with two different apartment sizes per floor. This is, of course, also something to consider…

This is what I meant with my first floor plan: two apartments of different sizes, with you using the larger one. Personally, I find this the most practical solution, as it gives you more space. And one more thing regarding the previous post: the more unusual the house design, the more expensive it is, and the other three apartments are still investment units. That’s why I would stick to a practical floor plan like the one above. Also, skip the elevator or underground garages, as they are far too expensive and not proportional. An elevator for two apartments is not worthwhile. The first floor can also be accessed with a stair lift if necessary. For a new build in the Munich area, you don’t even need to consider such extras, since apartments can easily be rented out for €15 per m2 (approximately $14 per sq ft). If you like the floor plan above, I would keep the idea of two different apartment sizes but optimize the layout again. A living/dining area with only two windows isn’t pleasant. It’s better to have guests walk through the living room than to have hardly any natural light near the kitchen because of missing side windows.

Yes, the floor plan is not yet optimal. I would say the larger apartment of about 85 sqm (915 sq ft) will be a 3-room unit, and the smaller one of about 65 sqm (700 sq ft) will be a 2-room unit. As Sunshine already mentioned, the budget is not unlimited... If the land wasn’t already available, I wouldn’t even consider this. With the current construction costs, it’s simply not worthwhile. But if I can build the entire house for around 900,000 (nine hundred thousand), then each apartment costs me 225,000 (two hundred twenty-five thousand)... you can’t get anything like this in the area, not even second-hand and outdated... and then I have a new build, I am the owner of my land, and I don’t have to coordinate with other owners, etc.

Construction is planned to start in 2024. Next year, I will demolish the old house on the property... I hope that by 2024 the material shortages will no longer be as severe and tradespeople will be available again.

Exactly. When it comes to an apartment, you would probably pay two to three times as much per unit with a developer. That shows how much profit they make, but they also need to have a plot of land first. That’s why their profit is probably not as high as yours. So everything is done correctly.

No, the profit comes from the total investment costs – meaning the land and the construction. A developer earns between 10% and 20% on a unit, before taxes, risks, administration, and so on.

In Munich itself, the land accounts for up to 60-70% of the purchase price of an apartment. That is why apartments are so expensive, not because of exorbitant construction costs or excessive profit expectations.

It’s a persistent myth that developers make endless amounts of money.

Thank you for the clarification. However, the prices make it seem different. Because the risk of a construction project with a 10% return is not really that attractive.
