CA Immo is launching the letting process for Skygreen at Hallesche Ufer 74–76 in Berlin. Directly on the Landwehr Canal and just a stone’s throw from Potsdamer Platz, a modern, sustainable office building in a hybrid timber construction is being developed, offering approximately 18,400 sqm of lettable space. Skygreen combines a central inner-city location with an exceptionally green and water-rich environment – thereby creating a unique address for companies seeking to combine urbanity, quality of life and sustainability. Building permission has already been granted.

Designed by JSWD Architects, the six-storey building makes a bold statement on the Hallesches Ufer with its striking architecture and offers companies an identity-defining address with high recognition value. At the same time, the concept impresses with its high space efficiency: the standard floors each feature around 3,150 sqm of contiguous lettable space with up to 240 workstations, making them among the largest of their kind in a central Berlin location. Companies can group their employees on a single level and shorten internal distances, whilst at the same time allowing for flexible subdivision into up to four lettable units per floor.

At the heart of Skygreen lies the spacious, light-flooded atrium with its exposed hybrid timber structure and extensive greenery. It serves as a central communication and meeting space, whilst also providing exceptionally high levels of natural light to the surrounding office areas. Informal meeting points, lounge areas and catering facilities create a working atmosphere that goes far beyond traditional office concepts.

Carsten Bachmann, Head of Asset Management at CA Immo Germany: “With Skygreen, we are creating an office location that is unique in Berlin in this form. The spacious atrium, with its exposed hybrid timber structure, extensive greenery and diverse amenities such as a restaurant, café and gym, becomes the communicative heart of the building and creates an exceptional quality of stay. Added to this is the prime location directly on the Landwehr Canal and just a stone’s throw from Potsdamer Platz. Together with the exceptionally large yet flexibly divisible floor spaces, Skygreen offers companies a level of efficiency and identity rarely found in Berlin. The fact that we have only recently achieved full occupancy of our Karlsgärten refurbishment project in the immediate vicinity impressively confirms the attractiveness of this location.”

Together with the directly adjacent Grasblau office building, Skygreen will in future form an urban office campus on the Hallesches Ufer. The ground floor is set to feature catering, retail, fitness and conference spaces, amongst other things. The offering is complemented by a spacious community space, green decks with attractive indoor and outdoor areas, and a communal roof terrace. This creates a working environment that naturally combines office space, social interaction, services and relaxation.

A distinctive feature of the building’s design is the green decks. These terraces bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating attractive lounge and work areas that open out towards both the atrium and the surrounding neighbourhood. Integrated staircases also connect two floors via the green decks, thereby fostering interaction between the levels.

The office spaces at Skygreen can be flexibly partitioned and adapted to different working and organisational styles – from the classic office layout to modern open-plan and ‘New Work’ structures. Up to four rental units are possible per floor. A high-performance digital infrastructure with redundant connectivity also lays the foundation for future-proof building operations and modern work processes. Skygreen’s outstanding connectivity has already been confirmed by the award of the international WiredScore Platinum certificate.

Another locational advantage of Skygreen is its excellent transport links. The Anhalter Bahnhof S-Bahn station is right on the doorstep, several U-Bahn stations are just a five-minute walk away, and thanks to the location on Hallesches Ufer and the immediately accessible Tiergartentunnel, the building is also optimally connected to Berlin’s road network. Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is also quickly accessible via a direct route. The transport options are complemented by excellent integration into Berlin’s wider cycle path network. Skygreen thus combines all the advantages of a central city-centre location with excellent accessibility for employees, visitors and business partners from Berlin and beyond.

Skygreen also meets high standards in terms of sustainability. Thanks to its hybrid timber construction and a building design that is consistently resource-efficient, the carbon footprint is reduced to less than 300 kg CO₂e/sqm in the life cycle analysis even during the construction phase – around 50 per cent less than the German and European average for comparable office buildings. Furthermore, the project will meet the high requirements of the EU taxonomy, thereby underlining CA Immo’s commitment to developing sustainable and ESG-compliant office properties of the highest standard. The strategic focus on sustainability is also underlined by the provision of around 260 bicycle parking spaces in an indoor bicycle garage. In addition, there will be shower facilities for all office tenants in the immediate vicinity of the bicycle garage.

With the start of lettings at Skygreen, CA Immo is consistently expanding its strong position as a developer and owner of high-quality office properties in Berlin, creating another office building on the Hallesches Ufer – following Grasblau and the Karlsgärten – that uniquely combines sustainability, quality of life and economic efficiency.
