With 32 floors and a height of 118 metres, ZOOFENSTER will be an exciting new landmark in Berlin’s skyline. The building at Breitscheidplatz will provide space for businesses, a luxury hotel, and offices. Designed to interact with and reflect the complexity of its location, the building’s elegant stone façade and striking glass tower will be a highlight in Berlin. At night, the glass tower will be illuminated.
The office and retail complex at Kurfürstendamm 195/196 and Bleibtreustrasse 22/23 was built in the 1960s and renovated and converted thirty years later. Now it is being regenerated. Working closely with the local authorities, a modern building with a stone façade and large windows is being developed. The listed twelve-floor unit will be restored and integrated in the new design. In total, there will be 15,200m² of office and retail space, as well as apartments and underground parking.

BIKINI BERLIN will create something quite different to conventional architecture and shopping malls in the heart of Berlin, revitalising the area around it. The listed building complex includes the Bikinihaus, two high-rise buildings and the former Zoo Palast cinema. The motto “live differently” stands for joie de vivre, intelligent consumption and sustainable growth.

Haus Cumberland was designed by Robert Leibniz and built in 1911/1912. It is the last fully preserved example of a genuine “grand hotel”. It has been used as a boarding house, a luxury hotel, a ministry, a postal department and a Department of Inland Revenue, but has been largely unoccupied since 1996. The investors aim to change only what is necessary. The new design will include a restaurant, four top international brand shops, and up to ten offices. 180 apartments and 20 penthouses will be built around the courtyards.

The renowned British architect, Sir David Chipperfield, is creating an attractive and lively public space around Uhlandstrasse. The new Ku’damm Karree will be regenerated by a pedestrian passage linking the Ku’damm and Uhlandstrasse. The shop-lined passage will lead to a green space on what is currently a car park. This will be a very pleasant place to stroll and sit.
