Location & Accessibility

The location between Humboldthafen, the main railway station and the government district combines political relevance, international accessibility and urban quality of life within a very compact area. The immediate vicinity is home to numerous companies and institutions, the government district, the Charité, the Hamburger Bahnhof, the Futurium, the Museum of Natural History, and other cultural and scientific institutions along the MuseumsMeileMitte. This creates an environment around the Alexander von Humboldt Haus that fosters networking, enables synergies, and uniquely combines work, interaction and representation.

A key advantage of the location is the exceptional transport links. Thanks to its immediate proximity to Berlin Central Station, users benefit from optimal accessibility via local and long-distance public transport. The building is also very well connected by car and to and from BER Airport. For companies with national and international connections, the Alexander von Humboldt Haus thus offers one of Berlin’s most transport-accessible addresses.

Architecture, Dining & Amenities

Architecturally, the building makes use of the site’s unique topography. The sloping site creates two ground floors on different levels: the upper ground floor opens onto Invalidenstraße, whilst the lower ground floor opens onto the waterfront promenade and Humboldthafen. This gives the building two prominent addresses – one facing the city and one facing the water. The high-quality dining facilities within the building, featuring an outdoor terrace right on the harbour’s edge, enhance the quality of the space and transform the ground floor into a vibrant hub for tenants, guests and visitors.

A particular highlight is the approximately 220 sqm roof terrace. It offers a 360-degree view over Berlin, Humboldthafen and the government district, and provides space for breaks, informal encounters, events and new perspectives. Together with the waterfront location, plenty of natural light and the dining facilities by the harbour, this creates a working environment that supports both well-being and productivity in equal measure.

Sustainability

The Alexander von Humboldt Haus also meets high standards in terms of sustainability. Thanks to the use of heat pumps, the fully electrified building is designed for climate-neutral operation and is expected to achieve an energy consumption of less than 55 kWh/sqma. A rooftop photovoltaic system is expected to cover around 18 per cent of the primary energy demand. In addition, a resource-efficient building design, infrastructure for zero-emission mobility and a high-performance digital building infrastructure are planned.
