Completion of Marriott Hamburg refurbishment

The extensive construction work at the Marriott Hotel in Hamburg was completed on schedule.
In connection with the complete refurbishment of all upper floors, all 278 rooms and bathrooms as well as the corridors were completely renovated and given a new design.
By dividing the original construction phases into several sub-phases, several thousand additional overnight stays were made possible compared to the original schedule. The last rooms were nevertheless handed over on time according to the original schedule.
Thanks to carefully planned logistics, lettings were able to continue virtually uninterrupted during the entire renovation period.
The construction site furnishing area (special use area) was returned to the city two weeks before the originally planned date, which was met with great approval by the authorities due to the Christmas season and the neighbouring Gänsemarkt Christmas market.
During the course of the project, it was also possible to integrate necessary adjustments to the existing building within the specified schedule without any delays.

Resumption of construction work on the Athleticum at Volkspark

After an interruption of several months, during which essentially only substance-preserving and protective measures could be carried out, construction of the ultra-modern competence center for sports and exercise medicine in Hamburg officially resumed on November 4th, 2024.

The construction stop, which was triggered by the insolvency of the general contractor, made it necessary to reorient the project financially, in terms of scheduling and organizationally. All obstacles and imponderables have now been overcome and the path is now clear to the successful completion of the Athleticum.

The center will be built in the immediate vicinity of the Volksparkstadion and will serve as a medical competence center with state-of-the-art equipment and innovative treatment methods and will benefit both HSV's professional athletes and the general public.

The new building will not only feature modern infrastructure, but will also enable environmentally friendly and future-proof operations using sustainable construction methods and energy-efficient technologies.

The Athleticum is one of the city's most important health projects and is intended to become a pioneer in the field of health care and medical research in northern Germany in the future.

Building permit for the headquarters of the coop eG cooperative

After submitting the complete building application documents to the city of Kiel at the beginning of December 2022, coop eG as the developer was able to receive the building permit for the new building of the coop eG cooperative's headquarters at the end of May 2023 after less than 6 months. The reason for the quick building permit was complete, correct building application documents agreed with the authorities and a clear starting point. Both are basic requirements that are often forgotten when the authorities expect building applications to be processed quickly and building applications are submitted that cannot withstand any examination, no matter how superficial.

After successful building permits and completion of almost all preparatory work without permits, construction of the district development over a gross floor area of around 33,000 m² in Kiel Gaarden with the construction of office, practice and commercial space, a daycare center and around 100 rental apartments incl. 3 underground car parks now nothing in the way.

Certification according to the DGNB Gold standard is sought for the entire project. Completion is scheduled for 2026.

Inauguration of Gauting city center

On the occasion of the inauguration of the quarter, the mayor of Gauting, Brigitte Kössinger, went far in her speech and recalled the spa hotel that was built on the property at the end of the 19th century after sulphur springs were discovered in Gauting. The spring dried up, the hotel became a cigarette factory and later a school, which finally had to be demolished due to dilapidation. After a wasteland had long marked the centre of Gauting in an unattractive way directly at the Gauting S-Bahn station, Sontowski & Partner from Erlangen, together with RKW Architekten, developed a mixed-use quarter that takes up the scale of the town and helps to shape the town centre in a restrained way. On the ground floor of the complex near the railway station are a drugstore and an Edeka supermarket. The four floors above house a total of 52 one- to four-room flats. Medical practices and a hairdresser have also moved in.
