On the site of the old Reemtsma cigarette factory in Schmargendorf the scent of the big wide world to move in. The plans for the new quarter under the Label of “Go West”, was presented by Stephan Allner, managing Director of real estate company “The housing company” on Wednesday evening at the city development Committee of the borough Assembly (BVV) of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.
For the old tobacco factory itself, there is no future. It is to be demolished. The focal point of the development of the old high-Bay warehouse, which is one of the few buildings to remain standing. It will not get “in the structure, in the use,” said Allner, whose company had acquired the industrial quarter of 2014. Behind the “living company” is the Bremer Zech group. The creation of a business incubator, to be known as a Start-up incubator. An operator has been found, but whose Name is not yet revealed. “We hope that we are Easter 2019 have a building permit,” said Allner to the daily mirror. The planning application for the old – new – commercial site was completed at the end of November.

the renovation to 12,000 square meters. The high-Bay warehouse gets Windows, balconies, conference / meeting rooms. In addition, a 3D-printing centre, a locksmith’s shop, carpenter’s workshop – everything you need in a new part of the city is greater than the Potsdamer Platz. On top was thought up by the architects Axthelm Rolvien for the high-Bay warehouse, a 50-Meter Pool.
The cigarette factory was created in 1958/59 on a former allotment site as the only major industrial plant in the former district of Wilmersdorf. Last year 16 billion cigarettes were produced. In June 2008, Imperial Tobacco Group announced the closure of the plant with least 420 jobs. In June 2012, the plant was finally closed. Since then, the use of the halls, which are static too weak for an increase: The concrete, crushed Brick was added. You can’t build.

is First to be demolished so here. On 7. In January, you’re ready to go. The demolition work will take about a year, starting at the forckenbeck street and ending at the Mecklenburg road. Too bad, because the halls are still well preserved. Many built-in stand for the industrial charm of the Seventies. And who always goes for the nose, felt in many Places, cold smoke. Because much is much too good for the garbage container, it will be sold.

investment: EUR 1 billion
“Go West” will not be a residential district. “Fortunately”, as Allner says, “the hostility of the policy are somewhat low”. The district would be planned for “normal businesses”, the search surfaces are usually between 1000 and 5000 square meters. A small piece of organised district, no monotonous glass palaces promises Allner. “At 14 to 15 euros per square meter, we have to cover the costs and are economically”, says the Berlin head of the residential company with a view to A billion investment in the old industrial site.
bill: more than 10,000 jobs
On a high-rise construction, which would have provided a land-use plan, will be omitted. A total of 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The smallest rental unit will be 400 square feet in size. Investors are expecting 10,000 to 20,000 new jobs. It is not a pure office, but also a location for manufacturing. The Whole process takes five to six years, including the time for the demolition work. The buildings are to be successively obtained, once you are done. The demand is huge, so Allner.
Hotels, weekly market, and theatre
the heart of the quarter (architect Christoph Kohl) is a Central Campus space, the size of the Walter-Benjamin-Platz in Charlottenburg. Here, a cinema, a theatre, a weekly market, as well as local Shops and gastronomy will find a place. Two Hotels are found on the site.

Extensive green spaces, especially on the roof of the five to six floors high quarter there is a good micro to ensure the climate and the land for urban gardening. At all it is to ensure an innovative and sustainable manner: for example, wood construction. In the case of the energy supply, geothermal energy is to be used, and the waste heat from the Central processing centre is to be used for the heating.
The Zech group wants to keep “Go West” over a Foundation in property – a sale was not planned. “The market situation is not so favorable that we give out,” says Allner.
