Penthouses Berlin-Mitte
is set against an extraordinary backdrop. This is where the turbulence
of the past meets the challenges of the present and an exciting vision
of the future. What was once a no man’s land in the shadow of the Berlin
Wall is today an upscale residential neighborhood, setting new
standards of comfort and quality. And all this at the intersection of
two of Berlin’s most vibrant districts, Mitte and Kreuzberg: the highest
quality on the one hand, the best of contemporary cool on the other.
In no other German city does new urban development offer such exciting opportunities as in Berlin. After all, the Berlin Wall divided the city for almost three decades and the no man’s land that traced the snaking path of the former wall has had a lasting impact on the city’s built environment. In recent years, these unexploited plots of land have been progressively developed. On Alte Jakobstrasse, on the corner of Stallschreiberstrasse, on the border between Mitte and Kreuzberg, a particularly large-scale plot is now home to a number of newly built residential buildings – one of the last major neighborhood developments along the route of the former Wall. With completion fast approaching, the development’s final residents are due to move into their new homes before the end of 2020.
And there’s no doubt: this is a truly major urban planning
achievement and is delivering desperately needed living space in an
attractive, central location. When it comes to housing, official figures
suggest that Berlin will need an additional 20,000 apartments by 2021
to satisfy projected housing needs.
The best of two worlds
Before the Wall, this was already a well-established residential
neighborhood. The stunning new apartment and condominium buildings are
restoring the area to its historic roots and ensuring that the districts
of Mitte and Kreuzberg can now grow together again. In essence, the
best of two worlds are being combined here. On the one hand,
Berlin-Mitte: elegant, cosmopolitan, and home to many of Berlin’s
leading sights and destinations. The district is not only Berlin’s No. 1
tourist hotspot, but also home to outstanding Michelin-starred
restaurants and world-renowned cultural highlights, including Museum
Island and a host of concert halls. Every time you drive through Mitte,
it feels like a little sightseeing tour.
On the other hand, Berlin-Kreuzberg: hip, multicultural and a popular
base for start-up entrepreneurs. The district is home to several parks
and, being so close to the water, Kreuzberg is extremely livable.
Penthouses Berlin-Mitte
is set on the intersection of these two contrasting but perfectly
paired districts. On the one side, dignified and sophisticated Mitte,
home to the iconic Gendarmenmarkt. And on the other, hip and trendy
Kreuzberg, home to many of the most avant garde nightclubs in Berlin. It
has never been easier to experience the city in all its facets,
including its contrasts and contradictions, than here. The Berlin Wall,
the divided city and the 28-year period when crossing the border could
be a matter of life or death, have long since been consigned to history.
And given the city’s eventful history, it is all the more wonderful,
today, to see how well the city has now grown together.
