Charlottenburg Builds on Former Industrial Sites and Cleared Institutions
Multiple residential developments now advancing in the district follow earlier decisions to redevelop specific former institutional and industrial locations.
How we reported this
The 'Hey Charlottenburg' project on the Mierendorffinsel is constructing over 330 new apartments in twelve residential buildings, with completion scheduled for mid-2027. Nearby on the same island the 'Am Spreebord' project by Bauwens on a former tank storage site plans to build around 600 apartments, offices, and commercial units. These efforts sit alongside the 'Neues Ufer' development on the Charlottenburg connecting canal and the cleared former Schlosspark-Klinik site at Heubweg.
Site Histories Shape Current Plans
Developments reached their present stage after earlier steps to clear or repurpose land previously occupied by a clinic and industrial storage. The former Schlosspark-Klinik site on Heubweg was cleared to enable a new 640-unit residential quartier by Instone Estate. The 'Am Spreebord' site on Mierendorffinsel had previously housed tank storage before Bauwens advanced its mixed-use proposal. Such transitions from institutional or industrial use provided the land base for the residential and commercial projects now listed in district planning records.
Scale and Mix of Units Across Locations
The 'Neues Ufer' scheme by BAUWERT on the Charlottenburg connecting canal comprises approximately 500 residential units and commercial space, with 30 percent of units designated rent-controlled. In City West a separate proposal near Ernst-Reuter-Platz and the Zoo includes a new 80-meter high-rise together with a mixed-use development containing 400 apartments, a hotel, and offices. These figures reflect the range of unit counts and building types that have emerged from the sequence of site preparations and developer submissions.
Forward Timelines Grounded in Existing Approvals
Construction on the Instone Estate quartier at the former Schlosspark-Klinik site is set to begin in 2028 with completion expected by 2033. The 'Hey Charlottenburg' buildings remain on track for mid-2027 handover. Residents and prospective buyers can follow updates through the listed project pages on developer and local planning sites to track permitting milestones and construction progress without relying on new announcements.
