Treptow-Köpenick is a spacious and diverse district in the east of Berlin. From apartments and houses with private boat docks on the Dahme to neighborhoods along Treptower Park and Plänterwald to industrial areas in Ober- and Niederschöneweide with artists' studios and galleries, everything is there. In fact, however, the district is developing relentlessly into a research and industrial location. A new mix of large-volume residential, office and commercial buildings is turning the district upside down.
The planned office building on Heidelberger Strasse, with a planned investment of 90 million and a gross floor area of 30,000 sqm, is being developed by BEOS AG and the architects Müller Reimann. The location near Neukölln and Kreuzberg is excellent. Another project of Cresco with about 70 million Invest targets the student housing market. Not without reason, because the location near the Dreiländereck, as the region between Neukölln, Treptow and Kreuzberg is called, is one of the preferred places for young people.
But there are also quite classic apartment buildings and condominiums being constructed. Numerous projects in Niederschöneweide and Adlershof by project developers and builders such as WIN.D or MRS and many more, have initiated an active and highly interesting development of the eastern district of Treptow-Köpenick.
The core area of Alt-Treptow stretches deep into Neukölln and Kreuzberg, almost to the Görlitzer Park. Old neighbourhoods and trendy quarters around the Arena and the "Badeschiff" blend with settlement structures from the 1930s and 1960s. Along the River Spree and in the southern part of the district, high-quality new apartments built on old commercial sites and Wilhelminian-style villas prevail. Niederschöneweide is still in the structuring phase, but benefits from its proximity to Adlershof. In addition to protecting the location for industry and manufacturing, residential areas were also established, with large green areas within the block development. By the end of 2010, around 90 percent of the housing stock in the redevelopment area in the centre of Adlershof had been comprehensively renovated and thus gradually upgraded. Johannistal and Altglienicke are in demand as quiet residential quarters with garden city character. In the immediate vicinity of the science and technology hub Adlershof and with good transport connections, both districts have very good development potential. Bohnsdorf benefits from its proximity to the airport.
In the 12 month period in Treptow 1,270 apartments were offered for re-rental, at an average rent of 16.00 EUR/m². The rents increased by 19.70 % in 12 months. In the new building segment 570 apartments were offered at an average rent of 19.45 EUR/m². This is approx. -9.10 % more than one year before.
