DIEAG: Agreement with Treptow-Köpenick District on Behrens-Ufer master plan

DIEAG agrees with the district on an urban development concept for the redevelopment of the site of the former television electronics plant in Berlin-Oberschöneweide.

The plan is to revitalize the former industrial site along the Spree River as an open and modern commercial district for office use, laboratories, universities, and technology centers with offerings for restaurants and cafes, retail, art, culture, and social facilities. The development is to be built to the highest standards of climate friendliness and resource conservation.

Berlin-based DIE Deutsche Immobilien Entwicklungs AG (DIEAG) is investing around 1.1 billion euros in the development of the approximately 100,000 m2 site by the end of 2027. The creation of approx. 280,000 m2 GFA is planned. The Behrens-Ufer is thus currently the largest privately developed real estate project in Berlin. DIEAG has now reached a basic agreement with the urban planning authority and the lower monument protection authority on an urban development concept that will serve as the basis for the development plan procedure to be carried out.

Rainer Hölmer, Treptow-Köpenick City Councilor for Construction: “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with DIEAG and to now be able to move forward swiftly with the ongoing development plan process for Behrens-Ufer on the basis of the agreed urban development concept. We would like to thank DIEAG for the constructive cooperation over the past months and look forward to the next steps we will take together.”

Robert Sprajcar, DIEAG Board of Directors: “We are very pleased that an agreement has now been reached and would like to thank the Urban Development Office for its constructive cooperation in developing the draft concept. We would also like to thank the members of the District Assembly for the opportunity to present our draft in the committees for urban development and construction, as well as economic development, tourism, and citizen services. We are very satisfied with the outcome of the talks, over the course of which the quality of the urban design was significantly improved, and we look forward to further cooperation.”

The master plan drawn up by DIEAG in cooperation with GfP Gesellschaft für Planung envisages the opening up of the site, which has hitherto been inaccessible to the public, to urban development. The plan is to renovate the existing listed buildings and to construct new buildings including three high points up to a building height of almost 50 meters. An integrated site energy concept will make the Behrens-Ufer energy autonomous and climate friendly. The start of the renovation work in the listed building is planned for late summer 2021. Completion of the overall construction work is scheduled for the end of 2027.
