Potsdamer Platz, a place steeped in history is to be reimagined and updated to be futureproofed for future generations.
A key part of the major project is the repositioning of the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden shopping centre. Brookfield Properties, Europe’s largest shopping centre operator ECE, and Mercato Metropolitano have joined forces for the new venture. Construction work on the 46,000sq m scheme began back in April and the opening date for the project is set for spring 2022.
“It is our goal to create a lively, urban and contemporary place where Berlin tourists, theatre goers, office workers and Berliners feel equally comfortable,” says Karl L Wambach, Executive Vice President Europe of Brookfield Properties and Asset Manager of Potsdamer Platz. “We want to make use of the strengths of the location and create a focused brand, leisure and gastronomy offer for city and cultural tourists as well as office employees. It’s good that things are about to get underway,” he added.
