HIH Invest Real Estate and QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG marked a key milestone in their Darwinbogen development with a topping-out ceremony in Königs Wusterhausen, near Berlin. The project, which includes 295 residential units and 12 commercial spaces, is designed to support sustainable urban growth and is scheduled for completion in 2026.
The Darwinbogen project is part of the HIH Deutschland Wohnen Invest institutional fund and adheres to sustainable construction standards, having earned DGNB Silver and QNG certification. The residential units cover a range of apartment sizes across 22,000 square meters of rental space, catering to families, couples, and individuals. Additionally, the development includes 3,700 square meters of commercial space, aimed at enhancing local amenities and services for residents.
Mayor Michaela Wiezorek welcomed the progress, emphasizing the importance of new housing to accommodate both existing and incoming residents. Henrik Thomsen, CEO of QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG, described the project as a modern and sustainable urban development, responding to the growing demand for housing in south-east Berlin. Stefanie Löwe-Koch, Head of Asset Management Office East/West & Residential Germany, highlighted that the first apartments will be available for occupancy in about a year, strengthening the housing market in the Berlin metropolitan area.
The project follows the KfW 40 NH efficiency house standard, ensuring energy-efficient construction. The district’s transport infrastructure adds to its appeal, with direct rail access to Berlin city center in just 28 minutes and close proximity to the A10 motorway. The development includes 431 parking spaces, with 405 located in an underground facility to support individual mobility.
Königs Wusterhausen offers a blend of urban convenience and natural surroundings, with shopping facilities, schools, daycare centers, and recreational areas close to lakes and forests. The Darwinbogen neighborhood is expected to enhance the city’s residential landscape, providing modern, sustainable living spaces alongside commercial amenities.
