– CA Immo starts leasing the Skygreen at Halleschen Ufer 74–76 in Berlin. Directly on the Landwehrkanal and just a stone's throw from Potsdamer Platz, a modern, sustainable office building in timber hybrid construction with around 18,400 m² of rental space is being built. The Skygreen combines a central inner-city location with an exceptionally green and water-shaped environment - and thus creates a special address for companies that want to combine urbanity, quality of stay and sustainability. The building permit has already been granted.
The six-storey building, designed by JSWD Architekten, sets a self-confident sign on the Hallesches Ufer with its striking architecture and offers companies an identity-creating address with a high recognition value. At the same time, the concept impresses with its high level of space efficiency: The standard floors each have around 3,150 m² of contiguous rental space with up to 240 workplaces, making them among the largest of their kind in a central Berlin location. Companies can bundle their employees on one level and shorten internal distances, while at the same time allowing flexible subdivision into up to four rental units per floor.
The heart of the Skygreen is the spacious, light-flooded atrium with visible timber hybrid construction and intensive greenery. It acts as a central communication and meeting area and at the same time ensures an exceptionally high level of natural light for the surrounding office space. Informal meeting places, lounge areas and gastronomic offerings create a working atmosphere that goes far beyond classic office concepts.
Carsten Bachmann, Head of Asset Management CA Immo Deutschland: "With Skygreen, we are creating an office location that is unique in this form in Berlin. The spacious atrium with its visible timber hybrid construction, intensive greenery and a wide range of facilities, such as a restaurant, café and fitness centre, becomes the communicative heart of the building and creates an exceptional quality of stay. In addition, there is the special location directly on the Landwehr Canal and only a stone's throw away from Potsdamer Platz. Together with the exceptionally large and at the same time flexibly divisible floor areas, the Skygreen company offers a degree of efficiency and identity that is rare in Berlin. The fact that we have only recently achieved full occupancy of our Karlsgärten refurbishment project in the immediate vicinity impressively confirms the attractiveness of this location."
Together with the directly adjacent Grasblau office building, the Skygreen will form an urban office campus on Hallesches Ufer in the future. On the ground floor, restaurants, retail, fitness and conference areas are planned, among other things. The offer is complemented by a spacious community space, green decks with attractive indoor and outdoor areas and a communal roof terrace. This creates a working environment that naturally combines office, encounter, service and relaxation.
A special element of the building concept are the greendecks. The terraces connect the indoor and outdoor spaces and create attractive lounge and work areas both towards the atrium and the surroundings. Integrated stairs can also be used to connect two floors each over the greendecks, thus promoting exchange between the levels.
The office space of the Skygreen can be flexibly divided and adapted to different forms of work and organisation – from the classic office concept to modern open-space and new work structures. Up to four rental units are possible on each floor. A high-performance digital infrastructure with redundant connection also creates the basis for future-proof building operation and modern work processes. This excellent connectivity of the Skygreen has already been confirmed by the issuance of the international WiredScore certificate in platinum.
Another locational advantage of the Skygreen is its excellent transport connections. The Anhalter Bahnhof S-Bahn access is right on the doorstep, several underground stations can be reached in just about five minutes on foot, and due to its location on the Hallesches Ufer and the Tiergarten Tunnel, which can be reached directly, the building is also optimally connected to Berlin's road network. Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) can also be reached quickly by direct route. The mobility offer is complemented by excellent integration into Berlin's overarching network of cycle paths. The Skygreen thus combines all the advantages of a central city centre location with excellent accessibility for employees, visitors and business partners from Berlin and beyond.
The Skygreen also meets high requirements in terms of sustainability. Thanks to the timber hybrid construction method and a consistently resource-saving building concept, the CO₂ footprint is already reduced to less than 300 kg CO₂e/m² in the life cycle analysis during the construction phase – around 50 percent less than the German and European average of comparable office buildings. In addition, the project will meet the high requirements of the EU taxonomy, thus underlining CA Immo's claim to develop future-proof and ESG-compliant office properties at the highest level. The strategic focus on sustainability is also underlined by the provision of around 260 bicycle parking spaces in an internal bicycle garage. In addition, there will also be shower facilities for all office tenants in the immediate vicinity of the bicycle garage.
With the start of letting of the Skygreen, CA Immo is consistently expanding its strong position as a developer and portfolio holder of high-quality office properties in Berlin and is creating another office building on Hallesches Ufer after Grasblau and Karlsgärten that combines sustainability, quality of stay and economic efficiency in a special way.
