Located just a few minutes from Esch-sur-Alzette town centre and the Belval district, Rout Lëns offers a new way of living in the city, prioritising quality of life, energy efficiency and sustainable transport.

A new sustainable neighbourhood in the heart of Esch-sur-Alzette

The Rout Lëns project in Esch-sur-Alzette is one of the largest urban regeneration projects currently underway in Luxembourg. Developed on a former industrial brownfield site in the Terres Rouges area, this future eco-neighbourhood aims to create an environment where housing, shops, green spaces and sustainable transport coexist harmoniously.

Where is the Rout Lëns neighbourhood located?

The Rout Lëns neighbourhood is situated in the south of Luxembourg, within the municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette, the country’s second-largest city.

Its geographical location is a real asset:

• immediate proximity to the city centre;
• quick access to Belval and its university campus;
• train station and public transport nearby;
• easy connections to Luxembourg City and major roads;
• numerous shops, schools and sports facilities within easy reach.

The strategic location of this new development is ideal for both owner-occupiers and investors.

An eco-neighbourhood designed with residents’ well-being in mind

Once completed, Rout Lëns will be home to more than 1,400 homes set within an environment designed with sustainability in mind.

The project includes:

• extensive green spaces;
• inviting public spaces;
• local shops and services;
• energy-efficient buildings;
• the use of geothermal energy;
• infrastructure facilitating walking and cycling..

The aim is to create a neighbourhood where residents can live, work and enjoy leisure activities whilst reducing their reliance on cars, yet remaining close to major roads for those who need them.

A project that preserves the industrial heritage of the Terres Rouges

Unlike many property developments on former industrial sites, Rout Lëns preserves part of its historical heritage.

Several iconic buildings will be refurbished to house cultural activities, shops or leisure facilities. This approach preserves the site’s industrial identity whilst giving it a new purpose suited to today’s needs.

The neighbourhood thus forms part of the ongoing transformation of Luxembourg’s mining region, a process that began several years ago.
