Springer Quarter, Hamburg
With the Springer Quartier, Ed. ZÜBLIN AG has realised one of Hamburg’s most significant urban development projects. The combination of the Axel Springer high-rise’s revitalisation in accordance with heritage conservation principles and a modern new build blends historical identity with forward-looking working and living environments.
An urban quarter with a gross floor area of around 60,000 m² has been created in the heart of Hamburg city centre. The project combines office, residential, catering and retail spaces to create a vibrant mix of uses.
At the heart of the project was the comprehensive refurbishment of the listed Axel Springer high-rise. Historic features such as the publisher’s office and the paternoster lift have been preserved and modernised. The building is complemented by a new roof terrace offering views across the Hanseatic city.
The adjacent new-build extension adds modern office space, high-quality flats and spacious commercial premises to the quarter. Among the main tenants is KPMG AG, which occupies around 15,000 m² of let space.
The sophisticated façade architecture, featuring natural stone and a mullion-transom construction, as well as high-quality technical fittings, define the quality of the project. Modern BIM and planning methods ensured the project was completed on schedule.
The project has been certified to LEED Gold standard and meets high standards of sustainability, resource efficiency and user comfort.
With the Springer Quartier, Ed. ZÜBLIN AG underlines its expertise in refurbishment projects and complex large-scale inner-city developments.
