ARCADIA acquires more than 10,000 m² of land

ARCADIA Investment Group acquires more than 10,000 m² of land in the “gatelands” business park at BER Airport for the construction of a multi-storey car park with around 1,500 parking spaces

The PARCADIA BER Projekt GmbH, a project company of Leipzig-based ARCADIA Investment GmbH, has acquired a development site of around 10,140 m² for the construction of a multi-storey car park with approx. 1,500 parking spaces in the “gatelands Businesspark Kienberg” (www.gatelands.de) at the future Berlin Brandenburg International Airport. The seller is gatelands Projektentwicklung GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture of OFB Projektentwicklung GmbH and the Kolb + Partner group of companies, which owns the business park area located on the access road to the BER.

The first multi-storey car park in the business park area is to be established under the name “Northgate” and will be built as a steel skeleton structure with precast concrete parts and a profiled glass facade with design elements made of coloured metal sheets and a green roof. A total of approx. 1,500 parking spaces are planned and distributed over twelve half-levels. Due to the very pragmatic cooperation with the authorities of the district Dahme-Spreewald, the building permit for the project has already been granted. The Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse was won for the overall financing of the project.

The new “gatelands” business park is being built on an area of around 100,000 m² in close vicinity to the capital’s new airport. The business park area offers space for hotels, offices, service and retail space and is going to have a total floor area of approx. 250,000 m². Due to the prime location, the short distances to the city centre of Berlin, the connection to the motorways A 113 (Berlin City) and A 10 (motorway ring) and the already ensured building laws, the area will be one of the most attractive development sites on the outskirts of Berlin. Particularly, because of the high demand on the Berlin office market.

Besides various office buildings, several hotels will be built, of which the B&B Hotel Berlin-Airport has already been opened. The building permit for a hotel of the Moxy brand has already been granted. In addition, a building application has been filed for an office development with approx. 15,000 m². The business park “gatelands” includes approx. 20,000 m² of forest with ponds and grassy areas.
