Large plots – various chances
Groß-Berliner Damm will live up to its name
Offering properties for extensive commercial development, the area surrounding Groß-Berliner Damm will soon live up to its name. It is perfectly suited for fast-growing businesses blending in well with the high-tech location. The first have already arrived.
Its name is smart: “Fabrik 17”. In fact, the new production shed and adjoining office building of the Ahlberg group of companies on Igo-Etrich-Straße is more than just a plain functional building. It is an architectural eyecatcher. On the 18,000 square metre property, Ahlberg group has set a trend that has proven succesful at the high-tech location of Adlershof, offering ample space for research institutes as well as top quality service and commercial industries. This is reflected in the architecture. The growth potential of future industrial development lies in this particular area on Groß-Berliner Damm which contains the last large properties to be marketed in the near future. To both sides of the arterial road, plots of 55,000 and 95,000 square metres respectively are still available and can be parcelled up if required. Running parallel to the main road, Wagner-Régeny-Straße will be extended to a total of 4 kilometres, allowing for the industrial plots to be accessed from two sides.
“There can be no better infrastructure,” says Dr. Wolfgang Weber, Managing Director of the ifp Institute for Product Quality. In the spring of 2015, his company located to the new food testing laboratory and production building on Wagner-Régeny-Straße. For Weber’s 220 employees, the S-Bahn station is only a few minutes’ walk away, and both the motorway and the airport are in close proximity. What is more: “There was a range of choice of attractive properties within this dynamic scientific and economic environment. We’re sensing a very special innovative and entrepreneurial spirit here,” Weber emphasises. In fact, he has already started constructing three further buildings on the neighbouring property.
The heads of both ifp and Ahlberg expect good synergy: one in the field of analytics, the other as an automotive supplier who is on good terms with his neighbour Freudenberg Sealing Technologies – all of them thriving innovative businesses able to explore their options here. They are beacons sure to attract other appealing companies wishing to profit from the close proximity to research institutes or planing to escape the crowded inner city. All this would not be possible without the subsidies invested into the development of the area by the Joint Agreement “Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur” (GRW).
