Berlin Properties Reinickendorf 2024

Master Plan Northwest: 12 billion euros for research, production and housing in Reinickendorf-Tegel and Spandau. TXL turns into "Urban Tech Republic", the Kurt-Schumacher quarter and the "Gartenfeld Island" are built on with around 8,700 apartments. Siemens makes a clear location decision with its high-tech campus. At least 20,000 jobs will be created. Berlin's northwest must remain on the radar despite the airport TXL closure.

Ready for take off

What will Berlin look like in 20 or 30 years? Which international role will the German capital play? A decisive function will be held by networks between business and science. There is a view of it in Adlershof. Research in the southeast of the capital focuses on photonics and optics, energy technology and photovoltaics. In the northwest of Berlin, the current airport location TXL is to play a similar role. There is a good chance that an industrial and research park will be set up here in foreseeable periods of time under the motto that is reflected in the name: "Urban Tech Republic". In focus: energy, transport, mobility and new materials. The sums invested are enormous. In addition to Urban Tech Republic, the Berlin-based Siemens is developing another high-tech campus. Large public and private housing projects flank the transformation. In future, Reinickendorf-Tegel will no longer be a gateway for millions of passengers, but a launching platform for new technologies and companies. There is talk of at least 20,000 jobs, which would more than offset the job losses caused by the discontinuation of the airport. The qualitative improvements for all districts and locations in the northwest of Berlin can hardly be quantified. A drastically decreasing environmental impact, new impulses and future perspectives will make Reinickendorf-Tegel a genuine place of the future.

Trend

The traditional and popular airport Tegel, TXL, has closed. Even though many Berliners and guests of the capital miss it, the shutdown creates space for new opportunities, momentum and for an enormous improvement in the quality of living for about 300,000 people. The Urban Tech Republic, the Siemens Campus, thousands of new flats on what was probably Berlin's noisiest square, Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, and finally the centrifugal forces of projects in neighbouring Spandau (Gartenfelder Insel) and Wedding.

Each example is a statement for Reinickendorf. Commercial and industrial sites in Berlin are limited and development potential is concentrated in about 10 hubs, the so-called future places of the capital. Reinickendorf owns some of these sites, which Berlin needs for its future. In many neighbourhoods, including for example around the Schäfersee, the awakening can already be felt. So it is no coincidence that the first milieu protection area enacted in Reinickendorf is located in the former flight path east of the old airport. The property market in Reinickendorf is also not immediately obvious due to its heterogeneity; flats, family houses, larger estates and smaller apartment buildings. Anyone who wants to invest here needs a little insight. Those who have it can count on good to excellent value development at moderate entry prices.

Apartment buildings in Reinickendorf-Tegel

The market for multifamily buildings in Reinickendorf is relatively small compared to other districts. Only about one-third of the residential buildings—around 10,200 out of a total of 36,000—have more than three apartments. Block structures and Gründerzeit-era multifamily buildings are mainly found in Tegel and central Reinickendorf, while smaller multifamily homes and urban villas are spread throughout the district. These properties are well-suited for building smaller portfolios, often with solid construction quality and attractive initial rents. In 2024, asking prices show a downward trend, while multipliers remain stable.

New construction in Reinickendorf-Tegel

New construction is literally nothing new in Reinickendorf-Tegel. The district in northwest Berlin has known modern housing estates ever since they existed. A large housing estate built during the Weimar Republic, known as the "White City," is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much later, in the 1970s, the Märkische Viertel was constructed to provide space for approximately 50,000 residents. New construction in Reinickendorf always presented a contrast with small historic villages such as Wittenau, but also with the typical block development in Tegel's core area.  

After new construction in Reinickendorf remained almost inactive until the early 2000s, the year 2010 provided new momentum with 13 new projects; since then, more than 70 new construction projects have been implemented. In the future, the district will be primarily driven by the Urban Tech Republic and the Siemens Campus.

Various projects are in planning or already being realized. In Ziekow- Oeser- and Gorkistraße, Vonovia will soon be building an urban quarter with around 1,600 residential units. Construction will start in 2023 at the earliest and the total cost of construction is likely to be around €300 million, making this one of the largest investments for Vonovia in recent years. High Gain House Investments is investing a further (many) million euros in the conversion and extension of the Tegel Quarter. The mall with 36,000 sqm of commercial and retail space and around 28,000 sqm of office space is scheduled to be revitalized in the last quarter of 2022. 

M&L Alpha has been developing a mix-use project since this spring. Plans call for roundabout 200 residential units, 35 commercial units and underground parking. Completion of construction is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2024. 

Approximately 20 other new construction projects are currently in preparation, under construction or nearing completion in Reinickendorf-Tegel. It is certain that urban development flagship projects such as the Urban-Tech-Republic will significantly guide the future of the district, in whose environment and maelstrom scaled investments are appealing.

Neighbourhoods in Berlin Reinickendorf-Tegel

Reinickendorf not only has enormous potential as a future location, but also offers many facets of urban living in the present. Good residential classifications can be found above all in the districts of Tegel, Frohnau and Heiligensee. Otherwise, medium and simple residential areas predominate, mainly in the southwest and in the Märkisches Viertel. Lübars is rural. The core area of Tegel is dominated by typical Berlin block buildings. The Cité Foch, one of two French allied settlements, was extended by a new building project with 90 rental flats and 241 condominiums. In the neighbourhoods around Eichborndamm, Residenzstraße and Alt-Reinickendorf, many small apartment blocks were built between 1920 and 1965 on the premise of economical construction. The White City in the south of the district dates from the 1920s. Since 2008, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with 6 other modernist housing estates. The large housing estate Märkisches Viertel, built in 1974, developed into an independent district with about 17,000 flats, about 39,000 residents, 12 schools and a shopping centre. It is still in public ownership. On the site where, until the closure of TXL airport, the planes thundered over the heads of the residents on their landing approach closer than anywhere else in Berlin, new residential quarters are being built with around 5,000 flats for about 10,000 people and the associated facilities. In the neighbouring Cité Pasteur and TXL Nord quarters, up to 4,000 more flats are planned.

Rental market in Berlin Reinickendorf-Tegel

Despite a balanced supply/demand ratio, the price development over the past 12 months has been around 6.50 %. With an offer of about 1,870 in the past 12 months, the rental market has been somewhat smaller than in other districts compared to the size of the district. One reason is the big communal housing stock which is usually not published on portals for new lettings. For existing flats the average new rents are currently about 12.35 EUR/m². New apartments are currently offered on average for about 18.30 EUR/m², with a stable 12-month trend.

Building activity in Reinickendorf-Tegel

Reinickendorf-Tegel is in the northwest of Berlin and comprises a housing stock of 132.000 units. A total of 30 statistical planning rooms LOR (Lebensweltlich orientierte Räume) are located in the fifth largest district in terms of size. With an average apartment size of 77.3 m², Reinickendorf-Tegel ranks second behind the leader Steglitz-Zehlendorf (85.3 m²). It is therefore hardly surprising that Reinickendorf-Tegel is at the top with a statistical household size of 1.90 persons. Due to the small difference to the calculated household size (2.01 persons per household), the housing market in Reinickendorf is rather calm.

After a low in 2017, construction activity in Reinickendorf-Tegel increased again. When and in which quarters (LOR) construction completions were reported, can be seen from the map. (Source: Amt für Statistik Berlin-Brandenburg)
