Green party leader Antje Kapek believes it is realistic to build 20,000 new apartments in Berlin every year in the future.
"If we continue on the previous course, we won't have any major problems building the 20,000 apartments," said Kapek of the "Berliner Morgenpost" (Monday).
“We are also ready to break new ground - for example by going significantly higher, preferably with timber construction.
Berlin - The question of how this will actually work will be negotiated in the next few weeks. "
The number 20,000 was set by the SPD, the Greens and the Left in their exploratory paper.
The coalition negotiations began in Berlin on Friday, and the working groups will meet at the beginning of this week to discuss the details.
Kapek belongs to the so-called umbrella group that decides what should be in the coalition agreement.

"I am confident that the proposals that are on the table can be put together into a common package that will help us all and which will ultimately lead to great satisfaction," said Kapek. "It is in the nature of things that everyone first makes their demands before the coalition negotiations."
