Brookfield Properties has unveiled plans to create a green, pedestrian-friendly and vibrant quarter with high quality facilities by 2025.
Brookfield Properties is working closely with Berlin’s Mitte district on the planning. The plans involve four, 3 hectares of urban space, located between Potsdamer Strasse, Linkstrasse and Eichhornstrasse, which also incorporates 17 large urban blocks.
Leveraging Brookfield Properties’ global placemaking expertise, the plans aim to open up the streets, alleys and squares, and to improve the quality of the space to match the surroundings of the iconic Potsdamer Platz, creating high quality, accessible space for local residents, workers, and visitors. The plans are designed to create modern and pedestrian-friendly recreational, green, and leisure areas with the introduction of sculptures and additional public seating.
Alte Potsdamer Strasse is to be converted into a pedestrian zone with premium restaurant spaces, including outdoor service. Marlene-Dietrich-Platz will also be redeveloped, with new paving installed, additional trees planted, and the installation of a large water feature and a natural rainwater garden.
