CA Immo has completed construction of its Upbeat office development in Berlin’s Europacity and officially handed over the building to its sole tenant, Deutsche Kreditbank AG (DKB). The completion marks a major milestone for the project and adds a fully leased asset to the company’s portfolio, supporting long-term recurring rental income.
DKB has already begun fitting out the building and is expected to relocate its headquarters to the new premises on 13 October 2026 under a long-term lease agreement signed before construction commenced.
Located at Heidestraße 26–28 in Berlin’s Europacity and CBD Mitte, Upbeat provides approximately 35,000 sqm of lettable office space within an 82-metre-high stepped tower comprising 5, 11 and 19 storeys. The project has a total gross floor area of around 48,000 sqm, including approximately 10,000 sqm of underground space.
Designed by Kleihues + Kleihues, the development consists of three interconnected building sections featuring rooftop terraces overlooking Berlin, flexible floorplates and a range of workspace configurations, allowing occupiers to combine traditional offices with collaborative working areas.
Martin Löcker, Group Head of Development at CA Immo, said the completion of Upbeat represents one of the company’s most significant development achievements and reflects its strategy of delivering high-quality office buildings in Europe’s major cities. He noted that the project combines modern architecture, advanced building technology, sustainability and digital infrastructure to create a long-term headquarters for DKB.
The building has been developed in line with the EU Taxonomy for sustainable buildings and meets the KfW 55 energy-efficiency standard. Its energy concept incorporates renewable energy sources supported by intelligent building management systems and fully digital infrastructure.
Upbeat has already achieved WiredScore Platinum certification, recognising its digital connectivity, while the project is targeting DGNB Gold certification for sustainability and WELL Core Gold certification for occupant wellbeing.
The completion of Upbeat forms part of CA Immo’s wider development programme in Berlin. Nearby, the company is constructing Anna Lindh Haus, a timber-hybrid office building offering approximately 17,000 sqm of office space that is already fully leased and scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
CA Immo has also recently launched leasing for Alexander von Humboldt Haus, a 6,400 sqm waterfront office development at Humboldthafen, while marketing has begun for Skygreen, a timber-hybrid office building providing approximately 19,300 sqm near Potsdamer Platz. In addition, the company’s refurbishment of Karlsgärten has already been fully leased.
The completion of Upbeat reinforces CA Immo’s focus on developing sustainable, digitally enabled office buildings in central urban locations. At a time when occupiers continue to prioritise high-quality, energy-efficient workplaces, the project demonstrates that demand remains strong for modern office space capable of meeting increasingly stringent environmental, technological and workplace requirements.
