HIH Projektentwicklung has been appointed by an institutional investor to redevelop and reposition an office property on Zeughausstraße in Cologne’s city centre. The scheme aims to transform the existing structure into a high-quality, multi-tenant building offering around 6,600 square metres of modern workspace, with completion scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028.
The project will convert currently vacant offices into flexible and efficient working environments, supported by extensive upgrades to the entrance and ground floor areas. Plans also include the addition of a new floor, landscaped inner courtyards, extra balconies, and a rooftop terrace offering views of Cologne Cathedral.
“The refurbishment follows a holistic ESG approach. Preserving the existing structure significantly reduces grey energy consumption and helps cut CO₂ emissions,” said Jens Fieber, Managing Director of HIH Projektentwicklung. “A comprehensive energy strategy featuring an innovative façade, advanced ventilation and cooling systems, insulated roofs, and modern glazing will ensure maximum efficiency. The result will be a sustainable and future-proof building.”
The Cologne project reflects HIH Projektentwicklung’s ongoing strategic focus on sustainable real estate transformation and the expansion of its third-party development business.
