The project involves collective ownership and management by its residents, ensuring affordability and preventing speculation. It includes 34 residential units, shared spaces such as a community center, event hall, media studio, and a music school, which foster social interaction and community engagement. The project also provides apartments for refugees and a solidarity fund for emergency assistance. Gleis 21 has been recognized for its innovative approach to sustainable living and community building.
