A distinctive quarter

The aim of the development is to establish a thriving, mixed-use quarter of unmistakable, high quality urban space very close to the Charité university hospital, the seat of government, the main station and the Hamburger Bahnhof cultural facility. Berlin will gain a new centre with a distinctive urban cityscape, one that will deliver a long-term contribution to the city’s development thanks to new construction methods, technologies and urban living styles. The various functional areas – residential, work, culture and leisure – will combine to form a lively city district with Heidestrasse as its central thoroughfare. The area will be connected to its neighbouring districts by means of a pedestrian-friendly network of roads and attractive public spaces and green areas. The quarter also offers ideal links to the public transport system and road network. With the main rail station close by, regional and long-distance train connections are available along with fast links to the city’s airports.

Europacity still growing

Europacity has expanded rapidly over the past few years. One multi-award-winning architectural high spot is TOUR TOTAL, the German headquarters of French oil company TOTAL completed by CA Immo Group north of the main station in 2012. In 2013, CA Immo Group completed the InterCity Hotel; other hotels constructed right by the station include the Meininger and Steigenberger hotels. CA Immo Group finalised two more office buildings in the summer of 2015: Monnet 4 and the John F. Kennedy Haus. In the first half of 2019, the office building on the Kunstcampus was completed.

The solitaire building and smart commercial building cube berlin was completed in early 2020. It is located on Washingtonplatz, directly next to Berlin's main train station and the Spreebogen, opposite the government district. CA Immo Group has sold cube berlin to the investor Nuveen Real Estate, a major institutional fund manager. The building was constructed and let for the investor by CA Immo Group. The MY.B office building was also completed in 2020.

Other investors signed up by CA Immo Group for developments in the quarter include Ernst Basler & Partner, TerraContor Immobilien, 50 Hertz and the Groth Group, which specialises in residential construction.

CA Immo Group is currently building two more high-rises in Europacity: "Upbeat and "High-rise on Europaplatz". Completion of the 100% pre-let landmark buildings are scheduled for 2025 and 2023.
