"Our London branch’s Triptych Bankside and Appleby Blue won several prestigious awards, and I’m confident that this will be an equally high-quality and successful German project. Nordhafen Living & Office complements JTRE's strategy to create integrated living urban districts in desirable waterfront locations. Here we are delivering a multifunctional space that will create a lasting impression in this developing Europacity zone of Berlin."

"We’re delighted to bring this inspiring project to one of Berlin's newest up-and-coming locations. The original concept was revised to boost the number of rental apartments to 150, and the project was rebranded as Nordhafen Living & Office. We aim to continue creating projects with attractive architecture that enrich locations and deliver numerous benefits and options for residents and tenants."
Lukáš Sásik
"In February 2024 work resumed on the excavation and foundations, which had been suspended since January 2022. This September, Köster Bau started the rough construction work and is preparing the first of four foundation slab sections. The reinforced concrete frame should be finished in 2026, with completion scheduled for March 2027."
