CELLS, a property project developer operating throughout Germany, has, on behalf of the owner, let approximately 7,600 square metres of office space and twelve parking spaces on a long-term basis to the Federal Chamber of Notaries at Oberwallstraße 6 in Berlin’s ‘The Tailory’ office complex. The lease is for a term of 15 years. Handover of the premises is scheduled for spring 2029. The letting was brokered by Cushman & Wakefield.
The Federal Chamber of Notaries had conducted an in-depth analysis of the requirements for its future working environment. This revealed that these requirements could only be met to a limited extent within a traditionally structured existing building. CELLS rose to the challenge and, in collaboration with the Berlin-based architectural practice mmrtg, translated the Federal Chamber of Notaries’ spatial and layout concept into the space allocation plan for Oberwallstraße 6, which enables the desired modern working environments to be realised within the historic building fabric.
The Neo-Renaissance building in Berlin’s Mitte district was constructed in 1891 as a clothing department store and is now part of ‘The Tailory’ complex, which comprises a total of nine historic and modern office and retail buildings with a lettable area of around 25,000 square metres. The building is listed as a listed building in the Berlin Monument Database.
Dr Markus Sikora, President of the Federal Chamber of Notaries, says: “The new premises provide the ideal conditions for us to continue to fulfil our statutory mandate reliably in the future: both in terms of providing digital services – such as the Central Register of Last Wills and Testaments and the Central Register of Advance Directives, or online notarial procedures – and in terms of our work as a chamber in support of the regional chambers of notaries and notaries throughout Germany. The modern layout creates spaces for interaction and encourages dialogue across departmental boundaries. We are particularly delighted that we are breathing new life into a historic building in the heart of Berlin to achieve this.”
Andrea Wlodarz, Head of Leasing at CELLS: “The letting of Oberwallstraße 6 to the Federal Chamber of Notaries is a particular success for us. We are delighted to have secured the Federal Chamber of Notaries as a tenant, one that will shape this unique location in the long term. The signing of the tenancy agreement now paves the way for the transformation of this historic building and the creation of a future-oriented working environment.”
The complex, comprising the properties at Oberwallstraße 6–7, Jägerstraße 27–33 and Taubenstraße 24–25, is owned by a family office managed by CELLS and is almost fully let. In addition to office space, the multi-tenant concept also includes a university, a fitness centre and catering facilities.
