The house should be ready for occupancy by the end of 2022

The living quarters in the “Honeycomb house” are lined with a hexagonal layout.

The architectural building looks like a big gray beehive.

17 hexagons stacked on top of each other stand in The Den Haag street in the trade fair city of Rome.

Architect Peter Haimerl considers the project “unique in the world”. The novelty of the idea is that not only the facade, but also the living quarters are lined with a hexagon. So you live in a hexagon. That is: there are no walls, only “sloping floors”.

But not only the form is experimental. In addition to two- to four-room apartments, a “large shared flat” is to be built. These include one-room apartments with a private bathroom. Two kitchens and a living room are provided for the cohabitation of residents. The intention fits with Haimerl’s basic idea: instead of “living side by side in boxes”, a community should be created by “cluster-like living”.

A staircase connects the floors. It does not lead in a circle, but straight up.  The private rooms are also accessible by stairs. This leads to a problem: none of the apartments is affordable.

The second building is connected to a common hundred by a bridge suitable for wheelchair users.

A total is 30 apartments.

Five Guys company plans to open a new burger restaurant on Potsdamer Platz.

560 square meters of internal and external space.

“With Five Guys, we managed to attract a traditional gastronomic company with an international reputation to an outstanding place on Potsdamer Platz,” said Roger Goyk, Director of Retail at Brookfield Properties.

The creation of a green, pedestrian-friendly and lively urban quarter with a high quality of living by 2025.

The Alte Potsdamer Strasse will be transformed into a pedestrian zone with high-quality gastronomic areas, including outdoor dining.

In the spring of 2020, the complete transformation of the former gaming halls into a new shopping and entertainment quarter has already begun. The opening is scheduled for 2022.

“Potsdamer Platz is an ideal place to show our guests how delicious fresh, hand-made and individually stuffed burgers can be. Our business philosophy is no different from that of Brookfield: we want to create something simple and good – and offer something for everyone, ” commented Joerg Gilcher, head of the Five Guys representative office in Germany.

In Leipzig, we can follow up an increase in the migration growth of the population by 10% since 2014, which entails interest in the apartment rental market both from the local population and from new arrivals.

Leipzig has a more attractive level of rent in relation to larger cities, but due to a reduction in the supply of apartments, modernization and construction of new buildings, rental housing prices have also increased significantly here,

on average:

by 30 % – 40% – since 2014

from 5.20 € / m2 to 6.80 €/m2 – 8.09 €/m2 depending on the area.

Currently, in Leipzig, many areas are being changed and modernized at the expense of existing buildings and new developments, which entails additional space for rental housing: the eastern districts of the city have a special potential to consider for rental housing.

There are limited offers, prices continue to rise.

During the 10th growth of the Berlin real estate market, the following can be noted: Berlin is in greater demand than ever, as the potential of real estate in Berlin lies in achievable profitability and long-term price growth.

200% increase in the value of residential real estate over 10 years.

- 1,700 euros – 10 years ago, the average price per square meter

- 5000 euros and above – today for secondary resale

- 200% profit

An increase in demand, a reduction in supply.

The increasing demand is no longer able to satisfy the proportionally decreasing supply.

According to the Berlin Evaluation Commission, we are seeing a decrease in apartment sales:

24,600 purchase and sale agreements – 2015

18,500 purchase and sale agreements – 2019

17,500 purchase and sale agreements – 2020

In Leipzig, Erfurt and other cities in the East, residents want to take to the streets on Saturday against displacement and rising rents.

The average rent of 6.67 euros per square metre in Leipzig is not as high as elsewhere. But new buildings are no longer offered for less than ten euros per square metre. At the same time, Leipzig has grown by more than 100,000 inhabitants in the past ten years – which has noticeably boosted demand on the housing market.

If Leipzig’s growth continues, 2,500 flats per year will be needed. Also, rent control should not be limited to 15 years. This has led to a decline in social housing in Germany, because after 15 years they are offered at completely different rents.
