Major Berlin regeneration project commences

Aukett Swanke, the international architect and design company, is pleased to inform shareholders that work has now begun on the Mercedes Platz construction project in Berlin-Friedrichshain following the appointment of Hochtief as general contractor. 

Aukett Swanke's associate company, Aukett+Heese, was last year appointed to work on the Design and Building Permit and will now be working with Hochtief to provide the detailed design and working drawings.

The $230m project, located in front of the 17,000-capacity Mercedes-Benz arena in East Berlin, aims to become "the vibrant heart of this dynamically growing urban quarter".

Aukett+Heese have previously partnered with Hochtief on several other successful projects in Berlin such as the Opern Carree-Hotel de Rome, and Park Kolonnaden, Potsdamer Platz.
