Office lofts in the trendy district of Prenzlauer Berg: a historic factory becomes a start-up hotbed and creative universe.

Greifswalder Straße 212 · 10405 Berlin

In the middle of the Prenzlauer Berg district close to the city centre, a magnet for an international audience, an old textile factory was transformed into high-quality converted loft space. The complete renovation and expansion in 2008 woke the building ensemble from its slumber and breathed new life into it. Established companies and start-ups alike  appreciate the open-space areas, the high-tech equipment and the campus life. The space concept is as agile and flexible as the young companies: the offices can easily be converted into smart areas for concentrated or joint work, and foldable glass surfaces can be adapted to the needs of the new workers. People like to meet on the roof terraces and in the green inner courtyards for socialising.
