The Gewobag will build more than 1,563 apartments in the new quarter in the Landsberger Allee by 2026. The complex consists of four building sections. Apartments for students will be built in the two rows of buildings located to the west, while rental apartments will be built in the two eastern quarters. The eight-storey buildings will make the construction location a modern residential quarter with ideal accessibility. In addition to a children's daycare facility, many commercial spaces for retail and services will also find a home here. Many of the apartments are funded by the federal state of Berlin and are therefore destined for fixed-purpose occupancy.
Green oases and lively squares
This street expands to form small squares and is flanked by gardens and a park that can be used by the residents. There are openings on the lower floors, meaning that spatial widening is planned, resulting in horizons for achieving greater transparency. Private and public do not compete with one another here, instead mutually complementing each other in their respective qualities. The characters of the surrounding areas should be reinforced in their identities by the new district and the park embedded within it. The park flows into the district, the peripheral development is completed and enriches the neighbouring streets.
Inviting entrée
A spatially contained square is created here with an inviting gesture that should be understood as an entrée, but at the same time demonstrate a public character. The two building groups facing the street, which closely correspond with one another architecturally, mark the district in the wider urban space. At the same time, they allude to the inner development of the facility: in a kind of gate situation, they frame a street oriented inwards, which opens up the interior space.

On 18 May 2026, the "Stapelfest" was celebrated – marking the structural completion of what was at the time of its construction the largest modular residential building in Europe. The remarksby Manabu Hirabayashi, CEO of Daiwa House Europe, and by Marc Kocher document this moment.
