Boulevard Berlin

Boulevard Berlin is one of the capital’s largest shopping centers, located in the southwest of the city along the well-known retail boulevard Schloßstraße.

The transformation of Boulevard Berlin (BoB) into a modern mixed-use development is a prime example of the contemporary repurposing of retail space. As part of this repositioning, the upper floors of the shopping center are being converted into exclusive office areas with a total floor space of around 25,000 m². These spaces offer maximum flexibility for a wide range of usage concepts.

WBRE has been commissioned with project management and tenant coordination for “BoB.” The focus lies on optimized planning for the redevelopment within the existing structure – carefully considering the existing building fabric and technical systems. Drawing on extensive experience in refurbishment projects, WBRE relies on an interdisciplinary team of project managers, architects, civil engineers, and site supervisors.

Together with the developer Dunman Capital Partners GmbH, the architects from HPP, and structural engineers Bollinger Grohmann, a design tailored to the existing structure was developed. As a result, the necessary structural interventions in the building were significantly reduced. Beyond optimizing construction costs and timelines, structural risks during the ongoing operation of the center were purposefully minimized.

As part of the transformation, the retail areas on the ground and basement levels are also being reorganized. Here, WBRE is not only responsible for project management but also for construction management of the tenant fit-outs for H&M, Deichmann, and Saturn.

Boulevard Berlin will be certified with both a BREEAM “Excellent” rating and LEED Gold certification.
