Berlin/Vienna, 24 June 2026 – CA Immo is launching the letting of the Alexander von Humboldt Haus at Berlin’s Humboldthafen. The planned office building is being constructed at one of the capital’s rarest and most prestigious addresses: directly on the waterfront, opposite the government district and in the immediate vicinity of Berlin Central Station. With its prominent location in the Mitte CBD, its high architectural quality and a usage concept that combines modern working environments, catering facilities and a pleasant atmosphere right by the water, the Alexander von Humboldt Haus is aimed at companies seeking a prestigious capital city address with exceptional visibility.
The Alexander von Humboldt Haus comprises around 6,400 sqm of office space as well as additional catering areas. Thanks to its virtually column-free, flexibly configurable floor plans, the building is suitable both as an exclusive Berlin headquarters for a single tenant and for multiple users seeking a high-quality representative office in a central Berlin location. The spaces offer room for a variety of working styles – from traditional private offices and collaborative open-plan concepts to conference and meeting areas.
Carsten Bachmann, Head of Asset Management at CA Immo Germany: “The Alexander von Humboldt Haus represents a level of quality that is extremely rare in Berlin: a waterfront location at Humboldthafen, views of the government district and close proximity to the main railway station in one of the capital’s strongest office locations. This location is, in the best sense of the word, irreplaceable. At the same time, a highly prestigious building is being created here in the Mitte CBD, which embeds companies within a functioning ecosystem of international businesses, politics, culture, science and urban infrastructure. For tenants, this means visibility, networking and short distances at one of Berlin’s best addresses.”
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.
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.
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.
In the immediate vicinity of the planned Alexander von Humboldt Haus, CA Immo is currently developing the Anna Lindh Haus on Europaplatz, offering around 17,000 sqm of lettable space. Around a year before its planned completion, the building is already fully let to two major international companies. Also part of the Berlin development portfolio at this location is the Upbeat office project at Nordhafen, with around 35,000 sqm of lettable space, which CA Immo will hand over to the exclusive tenant DKB in summer 2026. These projects underscore the attractiveness of the location as well as CA Immo’s expertise in developing high-quality, sustainability-focused office properties in central Berlin locations.
With the start of lettings for the Alexander von Humboldt Haus, CA Immo is expanding its range of high-quality office space in Berlin with a project that combines prime location, prestige, sustainability and a high quality of life in an exceptional way. Right on Humboldthafen, a new address is thus emerging for companies that want to be visible in the heart of the capital whilst benefiting from a unique urban environment.
