A modern interpretation of architectural history
At 90 metres, the historic late-1960s office tower is one of the tallest buildings in Berlin, and its striking façade of aluminium and glass is yet another reason why this building is one of the capital’s landmarks. Preserving this visual appearance is a major factor in the current environmentally and resource-friendly redevelopment.
The innovative mixed-use concept of high-quality offices, complemented by restaurants and shops, comprises three buildings. The former Postscheckamt tower is framed by two interesting new buildings: to its right, the “M40 – The Holz-Carré” is being built using hybrid-timber construction. On the left, we have the climate-neutral “M60 – The Zero CO2 building”, which, thanks to cutting-edge photovoltaic technology, is the first completely climate-neutral office building of this size in Germany.
pbb has provided approximately €68 million as part of the financing, with Bayern LB taking the role of lead manager.
