On Wednesday 26 June the foundation stone was laid at the site of LXK Campus, the mixed-use complex set to add much-needed office and residential space to a rapidly developing part of Berlin. Alongside representatives of Tishman Speyer, RB Berlin, CESA Group and MVRDV, the ceremony was conducted in the presence of Governing Mayor of Berlin Kai Wegner, together with his predecessors Klaus Wowereit and Michael Müller.

"The LXK Campus creates urgently needed space for living and working in a dynamic neighborhood here at Holzmarkt. The project offers a modern mix of residential and commercial space", said Kai Wegner. "With a sustainable energy concept and many green and active areas, the LXK Campus is a good example of how Berlin can continue to grow, what modern urban development looks like, and how we can achieve our ambitious climate goals together with Berlin companies."

Located in the Friedrichshain district, adjacent to Ostabahnhof, the pre-certified LEED Platinum development comprising approximately 61,200 square metres of rentable space will provide provide tenants and residents with spectacular views over Berlin’s city centre from rooftops and terraces adorned with abundant greenery. Germany's Good Mobility Council has also provided platinum pre-certification for the mobility concept, which includes more than 550 easily-accessible bicycle parking spaces on the ground floor, including for cargo bikes and e-charging stations.
