Topping-out Ceremony of “Air Campus Adlershof“
Closure of the gap between the S-Bahn station and Rudower Chaussee
The building is growing by the day. In fact, it has come to dominate the corner of Rudower Chaussee / Am Studio. The office and commercial building “Air Campus Adlershof“ had its topping-out ceremony in late July 2012. The prestigious address is emphasised by Johanne Nalbach’s striking architecture featuring a tower-like corner structure, the interplay of various metallic colours and complete glazing of the commercial units on the ground floor.
It was the hottest day of the year thus far when the topping-out ceremony was held on the roof terrace of Air Campus. Representatives of the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment, among them head of department Wolf Schulgen, and of Adlershof Projekt GmbH could satisfy themselves of the progress of the work.
With the completion of the Air Campus building, real estate company ID&A are advancing the closure of the gap between the S-Bahn station and Rudower Chaussee. The project’s name “Air Campus Adlershof“ clearly relates to the location of Adlershof with its history und present as well as the capital’s nearby Berlin Brandenburg Airport. “Although the opening of the airport has been postponed, Adlershof is continually growing together,“ says Ulrich Trautmann, ID&Afounder and director. This development is mainly due to the motorway connection, the new S-Bahn station and numerous other infrastructure measures including the tramway connection; they all have a positive effect on the location’s accessibility and appeal.
“Our rental activities clearly reflect this tendency,“ Trautmann adds. Rental inquiries are coming in already, and contrary to what the project’s name might suggest, there is no preference for certain industries. The company would like to let the spacious commercial areas on the ground floor to retailers, banks or tenants of a similar nature. For the upper storeys, top-quality office spaces with flexible layouts and cutting-edge technology are planned.
In total there will be a rentable area of 3,800 m². Depending on the tenants’ development of the individual rented units, completion is expected by spring 2013. “Adlershof is creating synergies as well as an ideal environment for businesses to grow on realistic terms. It is for this growth that we would like to provide suitable areas,“ Trautmann explains. The second and third construction phases will not be long in coming.
