In 2008 the potential site in "rue St. Quirin" was retained for further study by the "Service des Parcs" of Luxembourg City. July 2013, the preliminary project was presented to the city council and an inital budget of 1,4M€ ttc was voted. 2 years later, after the offical biding was finished the city council approved the final project for a total sum of 2,0M€ ttc.
