CA IMMO: TOUR TOTAL – THE FIRST COMPLETED BUILDING AT EUROPACITY IN BERLIN

The future German headquarters of the TOTAL oil company, the TOUR TOTAL in Berlin, was officially completed in time and budget today by the CA Immo real estate company and handed over to the tenant.

The building opposite the main railway station is the first in a series of construction projects by CA Immo and other investors in the new Europacity urban quarter.

Built as a green building, the TOUR TOTAL consists of 16 office floors with a gross floor area of approximately 18,000 sqm (193,750 ft²). The building has more than 90 spaces for bicycles and 240 parking spaces for cars. Thanks to the proximity of the main railway station, it is ideally connected to the public transport. TOTAL Deutschland GmbH will ultimately concentrate the German business of the energy company on 12 floors with 500 employees. Four floors will be leased to other companies.

For the construction management CA Immo appointed omniCon, their specialized construction management subsidiary. The Berlin office of Barkow Leibinger was responsible for the architecture.

CA Immo has a presence in Berlin with total property assets with a market value of about € 542 m. Just under half of this is accounted for by property assets under development. After the completion of the TOUR TOTAL, CA Immo currently has another two development projects under construction in Berlin with a total investment volume of € 125 m: The new headquarter of Mercedes Benz Sales at Berlin-Friedrichshain and the Intercity Hotel at Berlins´ central railway station. Furthermore, CA Immo owns investment properties (212,000 sqm lettable area), among them the Königliche Direktion at the Schöneberger Ufer and the Hamburger Bahnhof.

CA Immo is putting up the “InterCity Hotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof” for the Steigenberger Group between Berlin’s central railway station and the Chancellery. The eight-storey building has been designed as an upper mid-range hotel. With about 410 rooms, this will be the largest InterCity Hotel; the building will cover a gross area of 19,800 sqm and have room for about 70 parking spaces. The total investment volume is € 53.2 m.

One week ago, CA Immo completed the structural shell of the new sales headquarter for Mercedes Benz Germany. The plot of this building measures around 4,100 sqm (44,100 ft²), with rental space of approximately 26,000 sqm (280,000 ft²). From mid 2013, there the Sales and Service divisions for vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, smart, Mayback and Fuso will be managed for the whole of Germany. The total investment volume is about € 72 m.
