WELCOME TO THE SUN SHINE LOFTS!
Imagine becoming part of one of Europe's most innovative urban development projects! On the site of the former Lagarde Barracks in Bamberg—which served as part of the US military base for over 69 years—a completely new district is now taking shape. Since the troops withdrew in 2014, visionary planning and sustainable building have been underway here, with a clear focus on modern, urban living.
The new district ideally combines residential, work, cultural, service, and social facilities. Bamberg’s municipal utilities play a central role: with forward-looking heating and mobility concepts, they significantly contribute to making the project an inner-city model district in terms of environmental friendliness and sustainability.
The Sunshine Lofts are being created in buildings originally constructed as single-story structures for a mounted regiment of the Bavarian cavalry. By carefully integrating the historical building fabric, a unique living experience with character and history is achieved—modernly interpreted and executed to a high standard.
This is a 2-room apartment covering 50.79 m² with a balcony.
Living in a unique city, in an exceptional district, and in extraordinary buildings—the Sunshine Lofts combine central urban living with innovative urban design and historic charm.
The new “Lagarde” district is taking shape on the site of the former barracks and offers not only unique living space but also a modern living environment with short distances, excellent connections, and a high quality of life. The location impresses with its proximity to Bamberg’s city center: In just about 12 minutes by bicycle, you can reach the historic old town, the pedestrian zone, and the popular nightlife area around Sandstraße.
Public transport connections are ideal: the “Bamberg Lagarde Kaserne” bus stop is located immediately nearby. From there, it takes only about 8 minutes to reach the main train station—or 18 minutes on foot. Motorists benefit from quick access to highways A73 (toward Erfurt/Nuremberg) and A70 (toward Bayreuth/Schweinfurt), each reachable in approximately 7 minutes.
In the immediate vicinity, you will find everything for daily needs: supermarkets like Aldi, Rewe, Lidl, and Tegut are just a few minutes away by car. A special highlight is the store “Unverpackt Bamberg,” which enables environmentally conscious shopping without packaging—reachable by bicycle in about 10 minutes. Medical care is also excellent, with nearby medical centers offering general practitioners and specialists as well as preventive health facilities.
Families benefit from a wide range of daycare centers, schools, and continuing education facilities right in the district, making the Sunshine Lofts an ideal place for all generations.
Leisure and recreation are equally well provided: in just a few minutes by bicycle, you can reach numerous sports and leisure facilities such as the Bambados swimming pool, the FC Eintracht Bamberg club pool, the MTV fitness and health center, a fitness trail, and the nearby “Teufelsgraben” hiking path.
And not to forget: Bamberg itself—with around 77,600 inhabitants—is not only part of the Nuremberg metropolitan area but also an important economic and cultural center of Upper Franconia. The UNESCO World Heritage old town, with its historic buildings, winding alleys, and unique charm, is affectionately known as “the Franconian Rome.”
