Alter Wall 10–32

With the redevelopment and modernisation of the Alter Wall 10–32 building complex, Ed. ZÜBLIN AG has completed one of Hamburg’s most challenging inner-city construction projects. Historic buildings, modern architecture and highly complex engineering works have come together to create an award-winning neighbourhood in the heart of the Hanseatic city.

Situated directly on the Alsterfleet between the Town Hall and the Stock Exchange, the comprehensive regeneration of the Alter Wall 10–32 complex has created a high-quality urban quarter featuring office, retail, catering and cultural spaces. The project combines the preservation of historic façades with modern, sustainable use.

Excavating the foundation pit in the immediate vicinity of the Alsterfleet proved particularly challenging. At the same time, the listed façades had to be meticulously secured and preserved throughout the entire construction period. The work took place under cramped inner-city conditions and placed the highest demands on planning, logistics and execution.

Based on plans by the architectural firm gmp, a complex was created comprising modern office space, high-quality retail and catering facilities, and the Bucerius Kunst Forum as a cultural attraction. The development is complemented by an underground car park with 220 parking spaces and a new bridge over the Alsterfleet.

The project was implemented to the highest sustainability standards and awarded LEED Platinum certification. Furthermore, the project received several prestigious awards, including the title ‘Building of the Year’ and the Immobilienmanager Award for the best project development in an existing building.

With Alter Wall 10–32, Ed. ZÜBLIN AG demonstrates its expertise in the field of building renovation and sets high standards for the development of inner-city neighbourhoods.
