This development will provide a range of spaces flexibly designed to cater to everything from start-ups to large corporations. Plans also include conference and event facilities, fitness areas and retail.
After rapid expansion throughout eastern Europe and in the UK, Slovakian developer and workspace provider HB Reavis has announced its first two projects in Germany, acquisitions in Berlin and Dresden totaling 3.5 hectares. This makes Germany the sixth European market in which the company is actively developing its co-working concept.
The first of the acquisitions in Germany includes a two hectare site that will transform the former Alter Schlachthof site at Landsberger Allee 104 in Berlin into a new, well-connected business hub designed for the city’s creative and tech-led communities. Located between the thriving start-up district of Friedrichshain and Prenzlauer Berg, the site is just next to a major S-Bahn hub and only minutes from Alexanderplatz and downtown Berlin.
This development will provide a range of spaces flexibly designed to cater to everything from start-ups to large corporations. Plans also include conference and event facilities, fitness areas and retail.
The second site, on Budapester Strasse near the city’s science centre in Dresden, will see the creation of a unique 1.6 hectare campus next to the city’s academic quarter.
In 2017 HB Reavis launched its HubHub flexible office brand in Warsaw and Bratislava, and has just opened two further London sites, 33 Central and 20 Farringdon Street, to bring its UK sites to four. It typically mixes traditional tenants with smaller companies on flexible leases within each building.
The company has developed more than 1 million sqm of space since its foundation in 1993. It employs 800 and currently has a €7.1bn development pipeline.
