Becken, a specialist in project development, revitalisation, asset and investment management of commercial and residential properties, has let the last available space in the Ring-Center III in Berlin-Lichtenberg. The new tenant is the Game House leisure concept, which rents around 2,000 square metres on the second floor on Frankfurter Allee. With the latest letting, the space created in the course of the revitalisation is fully occupied. Game House plans to open at the end of 2026.
Game House will operate an indoor leisure programme in the Ring-Center III, where visitors can compete against each other in various sporting and playful disciplines. Jens Hogekamp, Managing Director of Becken Development, says: “With the lease to Game House, the repositioning of Ring-Center III has been successfully completed. The full occupancy underlines our leasing expertise and confirms the viability of the multi-tenant approach. The result is a place with a balanced mix of retail, local supply, leisure and sports.”
Christian Tropp, CEO of Game House, says: “After the successful opening of our first location in Dortmund, we are looking forward to having a presence in the German capital soon. The space in the Ring-Center and the very good location and public transport connections are ideal for us and convinced us right from the start.”
At the beginning of March 2026, the retailer Woolworth opened the approximately 2,400 square metre space on the first floor. This is the company’s 1001st store in Germany, or the second largest location in Berlin. The remaining two rental spaces have already been handed over to the tenants REWE (on the ground floor) and the fitness provider aGym (in the basement) and are currently being fit-out. “We expect the opening of the other areas in the course of the year,” says Hogekamp.
With the closure of the Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof department store in Ring-Center III in late summer 2024, a highly frequented inner-city area with a direct connection to the Frankfurter Allee S-Bahn and U-Bahn station remained unused for the time being.
Dieter Becken, Managing Partner of Becken Holding, says: “The conversion of the previously monostructured department store property into a multi-tenant usage concept sends an important urban signal for the further development of the location. My thanks go in particular to the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs and Senator for Economic Affairs Franziska Giffey for their constructive support in the reactivation of this important inner-city location.”
