SMART flats are characterised by high adaptability to everyday needs, a low equity contribution to be paid by tenants as well as low rents. The flats are somewhat smaller and therefore cheaper but still convey an impression of spaciousness. Alternative options for room arrangements, furnishings and private outdoor spaces leave room for individual choices by tenants. These high-quality dwellings are specifically geared towards young families, couples, single parents and persons living on their own.

SMART flats score with optimised space utilisation and well-thought-out, compact layouts. This means that tenants do not have to pay rent for unused housing space. Rents were deliberately calculated to align with those of inexpensive municipal flats.
