Realization of significant urban devel-opment projects such as HafenCity is
challenging and complex; it depends on a multitude of factors and the interac-tion of numerous players. It follows that HafenCity, over time, has evolved con-cepts of ever increasing breadth and dif-ferentiation ranging from major projects for international builders to small-scale local and neighborhood developments. Hamburg now has at its heart therefore an attractive urban area with spillover effects well beyond its boundaries, which continues to strengthen Hamburg’s hand in metropolitan competition, interna-tionally too – and thus lastingly guaran-teeing the city’s resilience and prosperity.
Through the current developments in Überseequartier, Baakenhafen and Elb-brückenquartier, HafenCity has entered a phase in which the substance of the cityscape will be determined as much by major architectural and urban plan-ning decisions as sophisticated neigh-borhood developments. Thus around Baakenhafen, HafenCity’s largest harbor, the next few years will see the growth of a dense mix of residential and leisure uses, green open spaces and places of work, as well as a school and recreation center, enhancing the qualities of the city of Hamburg for housing, living, and work right at its center. Building work began in summer 2015. Meanwhile, as the last building project in the northern part of Überseequartier opposite the Speicher-stadt draws to a close, Unibail-Rodamco is continuing to make preparations relat-ed to the change of builder and operator for southern Überseequartier. The plans for one of the world’s most ambitious and high quality retail projects – HafenCity’s commercial heart – are being refined and revised, to integrate the new cruise ter-minal and its hotel building. At the end of 2015 the architecture will be made public; construction works begin 2017. Within a time span of four to five years, the central plots with retail, bars and res-taurants, entertainment, cruise terminal,
hotel and most of the office space should be completed.
Finally: with the urban planning defini-tion of Elbbrücken quarter in the far east of HafenCity in October 2015, the final touches to the urban planning layout of Europe’s largest inner-city urban develop-ment project will have been made.
For this reason Hamburg and HafenCity Hamburg GmbH some time ago shifted their urban planning focus beyond the boundaries of HafenCity to the east and south. With their establishment of Billebo-gen Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH und Co KG, the City of Hamburg and HafenCity Hamburg GmbH have set up a pared down, agile company which, for good reason, replicates the proven structures of HCH. Development of a high qual-ity urban development area bordering HafenCity is to be pushed forward dur-ing the coming 20 years – primarily work-place-oriented, commercial in character and (in view of the high noise exposure of the location) with densely built urban structures – emitting important stimuli for the whole east of Hamburg and the inner city. Preliminary information is available on the HafenCity Hamburg GmbH website at hafencity.com.
Fresh impulses of a very different kind will flow from the masterplan for the new Olympic City across the river from HafenCity on Kleiner Grasbrook. If Ham-burg is successful in 2017 in its bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024, once the sportsmen and women have moved out, the Olympic develop-ment will gradually become home to about 18,000 Hamburgers in over 8,000 apartments. It is essential to find a wholly sustainable, yet also sophisticated urban concept whose approach, while consider-ing the Olympic and Paralympic Games as a transitory use – albeit hardly an insig-nificant one – stems from the genesis of a new urban, sustainable and mixed use district in the south of Hamburg. The inner city expansion down to the water’s edge realized so successfully through
HafenCity would then at last make a successful “leap across the Elbe”. The rel-evant content of this masterplan, as well as a detailed presentation of the sports facilities, are not described here, but can be sourced at hamburg.de and in a sepa-rate publiation on the subject. We wish you an interesting read, both there and in this brochure.
Your HafenCity Hamburg GmbH
Building permits for HafenCity are han-dled by the ministry. Juries for urban plan-ning and open space competitions and for competitions for individual buildings comprise representatives of the Minis-try of Urban Development and Housing (chief planning officer), the district coun-cil, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH and sev-eral politicians (from Mitte district or the city parliament) as well as private devel-opers and independent architects.
By concentrating non-official functions in a dedicated development company of its own, Hamburg can ensure the effi-ciency and quality of the urban devel-opment project, yet through intensive division of labor and control also retain a high degree of public accountability.
NEW FIELDS OF ACTIVITY
Today HafenCity Hamburg GmbH has additional new responsibilities. These include managing the development of a 72 ha area known as Billebogen, adjoin-ing HafenCity to the northeast, through a subsidiary company. This site comprises both built and undeveloped areas, includ-ing the new intermodal rail station. As well as reinforcing the urban qualities of this inner city entryway crisscrossed by transport routes, it will generate new jobs (many of them in vertically aligned production systems).
In parallel, in conjunction with the Min-istry of Urban Development and Housing, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH is handling invitations to bid for a master plan and supervision of the implementation of the master plan for Olympic City on Kleiner Grasbrook, an area of around 110 ha. The objective is to realize a highly sustain-able yet appealing urban development concept including commercial sites, open space, sports facilities and more than 7,000 residential units for around 18,000 people.
the development of an urban structure that is wholly sustainable. For its task of integrated urban development, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH benefits from a wide range of highly professional experts: engineers, town planners, real estate developers, economists, cultural theo-rists, humanities and social scientists, geographers and open space designers.
HIGH LEVEL OF PUBLIC CONTROLLABILITY
HafenCity Hamburg GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Free and Han-seatic City of Hamburg, for which it is developing HafenCity. Public supervi-sion, cooperation, and the division of responsibilities are demanding: because of HafenCity’s significance for the over-all development of Hamburg, the new urban district was declared a priority area in 2006. For this reason HafenCity devel-opment is not supervised by Hamburg-Mitte district authority, but managed at city level. The HafenCity Hamburg GmbH supervisory board – chaired by the first mayor – is made up of members of the city senate. Sales and options (with planning obligations) on land purchases have to be approved by the Land Commission; zon-ing plans are processed in the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing by the HafenCity task force and then put before the Commission of Urban Development and for consultation and approval (both bodies consist mainly of parliamentary and local government representatives).
Large urban development projects demand a high degree of collaboration,
as well as the pooling of ideas, conception and realization. In the case of HafenCity, the close linking of public investment (some EUR 2.4 billion, of which EUR 1.5 bil-lion is sourced from land proceeds) with the essential commitment of ample pri-vate funds (around EUR 8.5 billion), results in highly complex functions and the need for tight controls. In 1997 management of the development of HafenCity was put into the hands of a port and business development company (GHS) set up for that purpose (but known as HafenCity Hamburg GmbH since 2004). It is respon-sible for the “special city and port assets fund” which contains sites in HafenCity which are the property of the City of Hamburg. Sales of these assets finance a large proportion of public investment in HafenCity, particularly roads, bridges, squares, parks, quays and promenades.
In addition to its financing responsi-bilities, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH also clears and prepares sites, plans and builds public spaces and infrastructure, acquires and contracts real estate developers and major users, and is in charge of press and public relations and communication. At the same time HafenCity Hamburg GmbH pioneers new ways forward for urban development relating to urbanity and sustainability in particular. These sustain-ability aspects include heating supply, a home-grown sustainability certification system for buildings, ecological mobility concepts, and also flood protection and

Hamburg is growing here: HafenCity – Europe’s largest inner-city development project – is a blueprint for a European city on the waterfront
The HafenCity Project
Hamburg is setting new standards in developing a new city area along the
Elbe – at least in Europe. On an area of 157 ha, a lively city with a maritime air is taking shape, bringing together work-place and residential uses, culture and leisure, tourism and retail facilities – quite unlike downtowns dominated by nothing but offices and shops. What sets it apart from other major urban international development projects on the water is the area’s very central location and the high expectations of quality reflected, for instance, in its fine-grained mix of uses, standards of urbanity and ecological sus-tainability, and its innovative develop-ment process.
The intensive interaction between land and water can also be regarded as unique, for HafenCity is neither surrounded by dikes, nor cut off from the water. With the exception of the quays and promenades, the whole area will be raised to between 8 and 9 m above sea level. The concept of building on artificial compacted mounds (warfts) lends an area once dominated by port and industrial uses a new, character-istic topography, retaining access to the water and the typical port atmosphere, while guaranteeing protection from floods.
DEFINITION OF A BRAND NEW URBAN DISTRICT
The task in hand is to define a new down-town in both urban planning and archi-tectural terms. Since the site of HafenCity was once largely occupied by single-story sheds (which is still the case in Oberhafen-quartier) and few existing buildings could be retained or were worth preserving, HafenCity consists almost exclusively of new buildings. Altogether more than 2.32 million sqm gross floor area (GFA) is to be constructed. Nearly 7,000 residential units for over 12,000 residents are being
built, as well as business premises offer-ing in excess of 45,000 job opportunities, plus educational institutions, restaurants and bars, retail, cultural and leisure ame-nities, with parks, plazas and promenades.
The urban planning and architectural reinterpretation of the place, however, centers on established structures. Its milieu is informed by the Speicherstadt, port structures, a few existing buildings and, importantly, its horizontal nature and the visual axes of the inner city. The use of red clinker brick opposite the Speicherstadt and in the center of Hafen-City is another defining element.
DEVELOPMENT FROM WEST TO EAST
HafenCity is being developed from west to east and from north to south – 56 proj-ects are completed and another 49 under construction or in the planning stage; deals through sale of land or exclusive options have been closed on around 1.2 million sqm GFA. In the meantime, Hafen-City has become established as a popular place to live and work. The new district’s urbanity is already very noticeable in the western neighborhoods. Well over 1,500 living spaces have been completed; more than 500 companies have moved into HafenCity. In 2013 three more major office tenants, BP, Hanjin Shipping and Greenpeace, moved into the area, while the next incomers, Marquard & Bahls, Gebr. Heinemann and Engel & Völkers are either building new premises or enlarging their present ones.
Completed in 2009, Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai led the way as the first neighborhood in HafenCity’s develop-ment. After considerable delay, the Elb-philharmonie Concert Hall, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, sits atop historic Kaispeicher A. The new Hamburg land-mark which accommodates two concert

tial and recreational uses, green spaces, workplaces and a school and leisure cen-ter is taking shape. The first building proj-ect got under way in summer 2015. Exclu-sive options have already been assigned for more than 1,000 apartments (some of them in four of the six Waterhouses). Much of the area core is now determined architectonically and the next bid pro-cess for a good 600 residential units runs to the end of 2015.
Lastly, at Elbbrücken the winning design in the urban planning competition was announced in fall 2015. At that point, all planning was in place for HafenCity, at least in terms of urban design.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
HafenCity Hamburg GmbH pulls the strings, overseeing all activities as the city’s manager of development, property owner and developer of infrastructure. Since October 1, 2006, HafenCity has had so-called priority area status: all zoning plans are discussed by the Commission for Urban Development set up for this purpose, representing all political parties in Hamburg’s City Parliament. Building permissions are processed and granted by the Urban Development and Hous-ing Ministry. Since the aim is to set inter-national standards for conceptual and architectural quality, it is very important to attract developers and users willing to cooperate in setting high-quality bench-marks and in treading innovative paths. Tenders are invited for plots scheduled
for residential use; the competition result is decisive. It is not the highest bid that succeeds – the crucial factor for award-ing the contract is the quality of the use concepts submitted. Sites for office build-ings, on the other hand, are not generally processed this way. Instead, companies planning to staff 60 to 70 percent of a building or site for their own purposes can apply to HafenCity Hamburg GmbH.
However, whatever the type of land use, the necessary ratification by the Land Commission is followed by an exclusive option period with an obligation to plan. Then the builder/user, in agreement with the Ministry and HafenCity Ham-burg GmbH, has to proceed in staging an architectural competition and prepar-
HafenCity is made up of ten very different neighborhoods
auditoria, also houses a five-star hotel and around 45 apartments. It should be open to audiences in January 2017.
Close by, completion of the second large neighborhood, Am Sandtorpark/Gras-brook, popular with many young families, followed at the beginning of 2011. A pri-mary school with nursery and kindergar-ten offering all-day supervision opened in 2009. In 2013, popular Grasbrook park was opened, with its play and leisure facilities for children and grown-ups – primary school kids were also involved in the design. Meanwhile, on Strandkai to the south, the first buildings completed there in 2009, Unilever headquarters and the Marco Polo Tower, an ensemble of office building and residential multi story, have garnered multiple awards. At the same time, the first open spaces directly adjoining the River Elbe were opened up. On the site to the east, construction of Engel & Völkers’ new corporate head office started in January 2015, while the architectural competition for the last large unbuilt site in western HafenCity, western Strandkai, was finalized in 2014. The ensemble will include two towers and several seven-story buildings provid-ing nearly 500 apartments. Finished since 2011, Brooktorkai/Ericus neighborhood houses the two largest office users in HafenCity, DNV Germanischer Lloyd and the Spiegel group.
Überseequartier, the commercial heart of HafenCity, already has a metropoli-tan air. The northern section, with its more than 500 residents, also boasts
many shops and services along Übersee-boulevard and is popular for corporate premises. The U4 subway started regu-lar services to Überseequartier station in December 2012. The slender Cinnamon residential tower was finished in summer 2015, while work on converting the former harbor master’s office, Altes Hafenamt, continues until early 2016. At the same time, development of the last unbuilt site in the northern part of the neighborhood between Sandtorkai and Tokiostrasse is under way. A breakthrough has occurred in development and realization of the southern section of Überseequartier at the heart of Hafen City. A robust new partner with the necessary financial muscle and strong concepts is lined up for planning, development and operation. By 2021 the site will be transformed into a largely open, not air-conditioned urban shopping district, protected against the weather, with a mix of other public ame-nities including the cruise center and resi-dential uses.
HEADING FOR NEW SHORES
In Elbtorquartier, where the Interna-tional Maritime Museum opened in 2008 in the historic Kaispeicher B warehouse building and which has been home since 2012 to the Ecumenical Forum, around 2,500 students moved into the new HafenCity University (HCU) building on the Elbe embankment in April 2014. Since August 2013, U4 subway services
have been operating to HCU’s dedicated subway stop, while the flood-protected arcades of the Elbarkaden and the pier skirting Magdeburger Hafen basin have become a popular meeting place. Adja-cent to HCU, construction of the Free-port, Watermark and Shipyard ensemble of buildings kicked off in January 2015, comprising a 70 m office building, and two further buildings including around 46 residences.
And in Am Lohsepark neighborhood, the new corporate headquarters for oil corporation Marquard & Bahls on Shang-haiallee will be ready by early 2016, as the residential scene on Lohsepark takes on more concrete form. The first residen-tial buildings right on the park offer not only subsidized and privately financed homes, but also an inclusive residential community, joint building ventures, sev-eral kindergartens, a medical center, and commercial ground-floor uses such as a gourmet restaurant. The architecture is impressive, soon to include alluring green rooftop environments with terraces, green arbors, glasshouses and look-out points. Large parts of Lohsepark itself – a ribbon of green running from Ericusspit-ze down to the River Elbe – are already open. Overall completion is planned for summer 2016.
In Oberhafen decisions on the new cultural and creative users for its 6,000 sqm of former warehousing space are in progress and regular cultural events are already taking place. Over in Baakenha-fen, the dense mix of intensive residen-

ing for building approval, and may also commission site surveys. Throughout this process, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, the authorities and the buyer remain in con-stant dialog. The advantage of this pro-cess for the developer is that financing of the purchase price is postponed until after the building permit is granted (and the purchase made); until then it has ade-quate time to hone the quality of its prod-uct, secure finance and perhaps acquire additional users. At the same time the city retains its ability to ensure the building’s quality by intervening during the devel-opment process which continues for one and a half years after award of the option, thus ensuring that the use concepts and time schedules originally submitted will be adhered to, since the purchase cannot go through until the building permit is received. In short: this encourages coop-erative, exacting and reliable developer behavior – with both city and developer reducing risks and costs, optimizing qual-ity. For Hamburg, HafenCity is not first and foremost a major real estate project in which individual projects need to be realized as quickly and efficiently as pos-sible – instead it is the vehicle for achiev-ing exemplary urban quality and defining the city anew for the 21st century.

of the Masterplan was led by HafenCity Hamburg GmbH in conjunction with the Hamburg Urban Development and Housing Ministry as well as the principal authors of the original Masterplan, Kees Christiaanse, with ASTOC. At the same time there was intensive public discus-sion, with a program of more than 40 events. Since then the reworked draft has been honed increasingly in further phases (urban design competitions, open space competitions, zoning plans and architectural competitions by private building companies).
EASTERN DISTRICTS WITH DISTINCT IDENTITIES
Compared with western and central HafenCity, the three eastern neighbor-hoods (Oberhafen, Baakenhafen and Elbbrücken) are more isolated and less integrated into the existing city. Their proximity to transport routes also calls for noise protection planning. But this also creates special opportunities to give the eastern neighborhoods their own identi-ties: Am Baakenhafen will be a neighbor-hood focusing on living and for leisure; Oberhafen will become the creative and cultural quarter, and Elbbrücken an urban location for business and housing.
The revision of the Masterplan result-ed in a marked increase of usable area throughout HafenCity. Because of the intense building density and thanks to the relocation of businesses formerly situated in the port area, the total area realizable has been increased from 1.5 million sqm of gross floor area (GFA) to 2.32 million sqm GFA. Partial infilling of the eastern end of Baakenhafen harbor basin also boosts overall land area from 123 to 127 ha.
MANY MORE HOMES TO BE BUILT
Reworking of the Masterplan also meant that the number of homes that can be built is much higher. A total 3,000 housing units will be created in Baaken-hafen and Elbbrücken, raising the total number of homes in HafenCity from 5,500 to 6,000–7,000. Joint building ven-tures now receive more consideration in site tenders and since 2011 one third of residential space developed is publicly subsidized. Additional primary and sec-ondary schools, as well as several more kindergartens will also enhance Hafen-City’s attractions as a place for families to live. The number of potential jobs also rises markedly from 40,000 to 45,000, primarily generated in leisure, retail, catering and hotels.
The leafy character of HafenCity will also be intensified. Squares, small and large, linked together will advance urban spa-tial integration. Lohsepark, HafenCity’s central public park, extends down to the
River Elbe. In the south, an Elbe prome-nade may encourage people to stroll on to Entenwerder island, and Baakenpark, an artificial green play and leisure peninsula, will enhance Baakenhafen neighborhood. Public open spaces throughout HafenCity now cover an area of more than 28 ha, compared with the initially planned 24 ha (not counting publicly accessible private areas), while the total length of shoreline extends from almost 10 to 10.5 km.
Eastern HafenCity’s excellent transport connections do lead to increased noise exposure in the north and east, however. Intelligent urban planning and technical concepts will be utilized to enhance these locations: the main eastern traffic artery Versmannstrasse will primarily be lined with office buildings turning their broad backs toward the road to provide noise-protected areas to the southern side. The semi-enclosed residential ensembles will also form inner courtyards, providing shelter for neighborly coexistence.
The high ecological standards of the western and central neighborhoods will actually be bettered in the east. As well as establishing an innovative heating ener-gy concept, all buildings will meet the demanding criteria for the gold HafenCity Ecolabel. At the same time, flexible integrated mobility structures will be developed ecologically, with good public subway and bus services, charging infra-structure for electric vehicles, car pools featuring electric mobility, e-bikes, pede-lecs and other micro electric vehicles.
The reworking of the Masterplan has thus further expanded and reinforced HafenCity’s function as a city. At the same time, the urban development area has been thought through to its easternmost point, to the highest standards.
The Foundation of HafenCity: the Masterplan HafenCity is emerging as a city: the almost completed west already has an urban feel; the center is moving toward completion, while building works in the east are under way
H afenCity is among the most outstand-ing urban development projects on
the water front anywhere. Based on a sophisticated concept, it is expanding the area of Hamburg City by 40 percent. It also has spin-off effects for the existing city center, the whole of the Hanseatic city state with its 1.8 million inhabitants and its surrounding metropolitan region with a population of some five million. Hamburg’s identity as a maritime port city will be underscored in the process and HafenCity itself serve as a blueprint for the development of the European city of the 21st century. It is already regarded
as a model for major international urban development projects, although its devel-opment time scale continues through to 2025.
NEW CORE INNER CITY GROWS
Development of HafenCity is based essentially on a Masterplan approved by the Hamburg Senate on February 29, 2000, which was developed further for the eastern section of HafenCity after wide-ranging public discussions in 2010. For the previous ten years the Masterplan,
with its concept for an urban horizontal and vertical mix of uses and its flexible basic framework of a variety of city quar-ters, served as a good point of departure for development of old port sites south of the city center. However it initially lacked an adequately detailed planning basis for the three eastern neighborhoods, Ober-hafen, Baakenhafen and Elbbrücken.
What is more, circumstances also changed during the first decade. Initially, eastern HafenCity was regarded almost as suburban, yet now – partly due to new subway connections – it can be seen as part of the new city core. Redefinition
With the reworking 2010 of the urban planning
concept of the Masterplan for eastern HafenCity, the
new district as a whole is taking shape, continuing
the success story of the western neighborhoods right
through to the Elbbrücken bridges

Polo Terraces, the largest squares in the locality and in the whole of HafenCity: like an amphitheater, the 5,600 sqm of the Magellan Terraces descend in steps to the water. The 7,800 sqm Marco Polo Terraces with their grass islands and wooden deck-ing invite passersby to take a break under the trees. Vasco da Gama Plaza, a smaller neighborhood square nearby, also offers a basketball court.
While almost all plazas and promenades throughout western HafenCity were planned by EMBT of Barcelona, landscap-ing of basements and promenades on Sandtorkai was designed by BHF Land-schaftsarchitekten (Kiel). The architecture itself reflects the variety in the quarter: on Dalmannkai alone, the 15 buildings were realized by 27 developers and 26 firms of architects, to ensure adequate diversity.
A VARIETY OF LIFESTYLES SIDE BY SIDE
Lifestyles of residents are as disparate as the architecture: around 1,500 people live and work in the quarter. Young work-ing singles and families live side by side with older couples whose children have left home or seniors. They get involved in sport and cultural clubs and form many networks, such as HafenCity Netzwerk e.V. This socially differentiated structure is also the result of a calls for expressions of interest procedure: as from 2003, sites for housing no longer go to the highest bid-der. Instead the developer with the best use concept is given an exclusive option on

compacted foundations at around 8 m above sea level, the waterside promenades remain at 4–5.5 m above sea level
the property at a previously agreed price. This means that many rental or owned apartments are affordable for mid-income earners, while some are in the luxury seg-ment. Much more reasonably priced liv-ing accommodation was realized through building cooperatives and three joint building ventures.
As well as the residents, employees of the approximately 50 businesses also influence the quarter’s atmosphere. Most are modern services businesses in the media and logistics sectors. Residents, office workers and visitors regularly meet in the shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and bars occupying the almost 6,500 sqm of ground floor space divided among most buildings.
It was in this neighborhood. Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai that a major project first suc-ceeded in integrating public amenities into ground floors on a larger scale. The con-dition in sale contracts and zoning plans requiring 5 m ceilings in ground floors, the reduced prices for ground floor space and the investor’s obligation to seek corre-sponding users paved the way for a grow-ing vitality that will flourish even more after completion of the Elbphilharmonie. The diversity of caterers and retailers that have already set up shop in the quarter, combined with the various services and cultural uses, offer plenty of choice.
Of course the principle of dense mix of uses also presents challenges which demand innovative solutions. Since residents need areas of privacy, build-ing ensembles on southern Dalmannkai
are grouped around internal courtyards opening toward the south, allowing unob-structed views of Grasbrookhafen harbor and the river, but which are difficult to see into from the lower-lying promenade. It is not incongruous that the private and pub-lic exist side by side in Am Sandtorpark/Dalmannkai – quite to the contrary: their coexistence is a definite sign of quality, both in this neighborhood and the whole of HafenCity.
Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai in northwest HafenCity was the first quarter to be completed
Fine-grained and Alive: HafenCity’s First Neighborhood
In the spring of 2009, Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai was the first neighborhood
in HafenCity to be completed, after six years of construction. Clustered around the centrally located Sandtorhafen harbor basin, it owes its charm to the coexistence of intimate neighborhood with urbanity on the waterfront. The pontoons of its Traditional Ship Harbor form a floating plaza which offers moor-ings for up to 30 historic vessels and is used by residents, visitors and people working locally for relaxation or a stroll.
To the north of the harbor is Sandtorkai, bordering the listed Speicherstadt on its other side. To the south is the Dalmannkai promontory and Grasbrookhafen harbor. The views from the eight buildings on Sandtorkai and the 15 buildings on Dal-mannkai encompass the city center, as well as the River Elbe.
AM SANDTORKAI / DALMANNKAI
it opens in 2017: its publicly accessible plaza, at a height of 37 m, has spectacular views of HafenCity and the Elbe. Inciden-tally: through to its opening, the Elbphil-harmonie will be the neighborhood’s only building still under construction.
After just under a year of building works, Mahatma Gandhi bridge, which links the Sandtorkai and Am Kaiserkai roads, was largely reopened to pedestrians in June 2015. The new bascule bridge provides a 5 m wide sidewalk for pedestrians, along-side an 8.5 m road width. This allows vehi-cles ample space to stop briefly to drop or pick up passengers, without interrupting the flow of traffic. At the same time it vis-ibly enhances the attractions of the walk-way running between Landungsbrücken and HafenCity.
Multi-dimensional typical topography continues on the Magellan and Marco

The urban spaces mainly extend over two levels. All buildings and roads are built on artificially raised, flood-protected bases at around 8 m above sea level, but embank-ment promenades remain at 4–5.5 m above sea level. The difference in height is particularly noticeable to the north of Sandtorkai. There unusually, in consider-ation of the adjacent Speicherstadt, the road (Am Sandtorkai) lies at a low level, and the newly built basement foundations on the other side resemble a wall.

SANDTORPARK: CORPORATE LOCATION
This neighborhood is very international and many companies have moved here. In the Hamburg-America-Center designed by renowned US architect Richard Meier, the Amerikazentrum Hamburg e.V. soci-ety offers a program of varied cultural events. The largest area of space in the office building bordering Sandtorpark has been occupied since fall 2011 by the Buss group’s offices.
The three buildings of the adjacent International Coffee Plaza were also con-ceived by Pritzker prizewinner Meier. The plaza was developed by the Neumann family, whose eponymous group of com-panies occupies the 13-story Ellipse tower, one of the neighborhood’s architectonic landmarks. Since August 2012, the Inter-national Coffee Plaza has also housed the German headquarters of the Eukor ship-ping line and the major Korean shipping line Hanjin Shipping, which located to Sandtorpark in mid-2013. Art dealer Gregor Bröcker opened two galleries on the ground floor at the beginning of 2015.
OWN FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
Right on Sandtorpark two other large buildings also offer space for companies: located on the northern side since 2009, the 16,000 sqm SKAI building, with its eye-catching façade of copper elements, was designed by the Hamburg firm, Böge Lindner architects. To the south of Sand-torpark is the Centurion Commercial Cen-ter (14,600 sqm GFA), holder of the gold HafenCity Ecolabel, in which, apart from the Dahler & Company group, most busi-nesses are of small and medium size, with retailers and catering on the ground floor.
Further south, Kühne Logistics University and the Medical School Hamburg moved into the former SAP building on Grosser Grasbrook in fall 2013. Right next door is logistics group Kühne + Nagel, which relo-cated its headquarters here in 2006.
Grasbrookpark, which was completed in August 2013, is a large green play park offering plenty of play and recreational opportunities for children and adults

With its two leafy parks, Am Sandtorpark/Grasbrook neighborhood offers residents, employees of surrounding companies and Katharinenschule primary pupils ideal conditions
Green and Metropolitan at the Same Time
Am Sandtorpark/Grasbrook is the sec-ond large neighborhood to be all but
completed. This area, extending from Sandtorhafen harbor in the west to Über-seequartier in the east, with its primary school and family homes around Gras-brook park, is a haven of neighborly life. The small, yet popular Sandtorpark, around which many of the buildings clus-ter, is the key local element setting the urban scene. HafenCity’s first park was inaugurated with a neighborhood street party in April 2011. Landscaping of the green play areas is dominated by lawns
and hillocks. The main design elements of the Magellan Terraces (such as the paving) are continued here; a successful device in the open space landscaping concept for western HafenCity by archi-tects EMBT of Barcelona, drawing togeth-er the various areas.
In August 2013, the 7,100 sqm Gras-brookpark was also completed. This large grassy play park with many play and recreational features for children and adults is the southern interface with Strandkai quarter.
FAMILY FRIENDLY HOUSING
Classes at HafenCity’s Katharinenschule school on Sandtorpark started in August 2009. A total 450 children can be looked after in kindergarten, after-school care or various types of all-day supervision. The integrated sports hall is intensively used after school as well, e.g. by Störtebeker sports club or sports groups from local companies. The school building, designed by architects Spengler & Wiescholek, which also houses 30 apartments, is one of the few in Germany to integrate a mix of uses, as well as having most of its play area on the roof. The building also carries the gold HafenCity Ecolabel. Right next to Katharinenschule school live the new occupants of the Hafenliebe joint build-ing venture in their 55 family-friendly homes. Another 68 apartments have been realized in the Hofquartier project.
The emphasis of the neighborhood’s final project, construction of the building to the north of Grasbrookpark, is also residential. After a delay, construction starts in the second half of 2015. Plans for the site, by BKK-3 architects (Vienna), pro-vide for around 150 apartments (including building cooperative units, ateliers and

FROM ERICUSSPITZE TO THE ELBE
Several bridges cross Brooktorhafen harbor. Ericus bridge, renovated since June 2014, was built in 1870 and was originally a swing bridge. It links the neighborhood with Lohsepark, while Shanghaibrücke road bridge, designed by Dietmar Feichtinger (Paris, Vienna), cre-ates additional open space. The bridge, which seems more like a square, almost as wide as it is long, offers generous space for pedestrians and cyclists. On the north-ern side, Brooktorpromenade leads under the bridge.
Passing Brooktorhafen basin, and con-tinuing across Dar es Salaam square,
inaugurated in June 2011, the route tra-verses León-Brücke, another Dietmar Feichtinger-designed pedestrian bridge. Finally the promenade follows the embankment of Magdeburger Hafen – taking in Störtebeker Ufer, Busanbrücke bridge and Elbtorpromenade – toward HCU and Baakenhafen. With Buenos Aires quay completed since late summer 2014, a road-crossing-free link now runs from Ericusspitze down to the Elbe, highlight-ing once again how a network of bridges and promenades forms the backbone of HafenCity’s close-knit pedestrian system.
CHANGING LEVELS
WES & Partner Landschaftsarchitekten (Hamburg) was responsible for the design of other open spaces on Brooktorkai dock and Ericusspitze. This included a 30 m long stone sofa on Brooktorkai prom-enade offering views of the harbor basin. A spacious flight of steps at Ericusspitze

MAJOR PUBLISHING HOUSE MARKS ENTRY TO HAFENCITY
The most conspicuous buildings on Eri-cusspitze, the northeastern entrance to HafenCity, are the Spiegel group’s pub-lishing house and the Ericus Contor build-ing. In September 2011, the media group transferred its business activities into a new building here of around 30,000 sqm GFA, which was awarded the HafenCity gold Ecolabel in 2012. The publishing house and Ericus Contor (20,000 sqm GFA) with their pale façades and massive shared plinth were planned by Henning Larsen Architects (Copenhagen). The
(Hamburg) and Antonio Citterio and Partners (Milan).
Traffic noise and the narrow layout of the neighborhood means that this quarter unusually has little importance residentially. Nonetheless, one of the three towers in the ensemble does have 30 apartments with views of Lohsepark. The move of 1,600 employees of Germa-nischer Lloyd into their 54,000 sqm GFA Brooktorkai office here in March 2010 was the biggest ever corporate reloca-tion into HafenCity. Right next door, the International School of Management (ISM) has been preparing students for their future careers in international busi-ness since 2010.
Brooktorkai/Ericus’ position between the Speicherstadt and existing city center makes it a good corporate location

BROOKTORKAI / ERICUS
The Brooktorkai/Ericus neighborhood has a specifically maritime character:
it is framed by the historic brick buildings of the Speicherstadt, by Brooktorhafen, and the water passage linking Hollän-dischbrookfleet canal. Characteristic of Brooktorkai is its meandering building structure, punctuated and loosened up by three nine-story towers. The Speicher-stadt lends atmosphere visibly: its col-ors are mirrored in the red-brick facings. Urban planning for Brooktorkai (except Ericusspitze) stemmed from Hamburg architects gmp – Gerkan, Marg und Part-ner, while the winning architectural con-cepts for the buildings here came from gmp, as well as Jan Störmer Architekten

best building in the European Property Awards. The whole ensemble has become a landmark, with the around 60 m high tower and its staggered stories visible from far away, as striking as the Unilever building with its conspicuous façade.
Adjoining it to the east, Quantum Pro-jektentwicklung GmbH and Engel & Völk-ers (E&V) Development GmbH started building work in January 2015 on the new E&V corporate headquarters designed by Pritzker award winner Richard Meier (New York). Around half of the up to 21,000 sqm GFA complex (60) is planned for about 100 residences and public ame-nities. Apartments will be both on the southern side, and in the 15-story tower on the northwest side. The ground floor will contain a public catering area and space for upmarket exhibitions and pre-sentation events. Completion is planned by the end of 2017.
Further to the east, the current Cruise Center HafenCity will be replaced by a new cruise terminal integrated into the emerging southern Überseequartier ensemble. The hotel building will pro-vide some 5,000 sqm of terminal space, as well as a bus station, parking area and taxi stand underground.
LIVING ON THE QUAY POINT
In the area on the exposed point of Strandkai (55-57) west of Unilever House a total of around 500 residences are to be realized, among them many building-cooperative and affordable apartments. Perimeter block typologies are planned, to designs by Léon Wohlhage Wernik (Berlin), LRW Architekten und Stadtpla-ner (Hamburg) and BE Berlin, as well as two residential towers (about 60 m, matching the height of Marco Polo Tow-er), designed by Ingenhoven Architects (Düsseldorf) and Hadi Teherani Archi-tects (Hamburg). This will lend western HafenCity a new, defining urban aspect on the Elbe, continuing into south-
Seen from the Elbe bridges, Strandkai quarter is already a conspicuous part
of Hamburg’s city silhouette. Its hybrid perimeter blocks are structured in six to seven-story building ensembles punctu-ated by high tower tops and individual towers, stand-alone or integrated. These high-points provide spectacular views:
downstream along the River Elbe, to the south across the port, to the north and west over Grasbrook harbor, HafenCity and the city center. Böge Lindner archi-tects (Hamburg) conceived the urban design framework for the ten building plots. The southeastern end of the neigh-borhood mainly comprises office space
for modern service businesses – most housing on the other hand, is being built at Grasbrookpark, in nearby Übersee-quartier and on the very exposed tip of the promontory. This is reserved exclu-sively for living space, apart from ground floors.
OUTSTANDING SUSTAINABILITY
The first building erected to the south of the Marco Polo Terraces is an ensemble by Behnisch Architekten (Stuttgart), consist-ing of an office building and a residential tower. The 25,000 sqm GFA office building (59) has been in use since summer 2009 by consumer goods group Unilever for the 1,200 employees of its German-speaking markets organization. Hamburg’s 2024 Olympic bid company also moved into the building in 2015. The building’s sus-tainability credentials are impressive: in 2011 it was the first office building to be awarded the gold HafenCity Ecolabel. The interior of the multi-award-winning Uni-lever office building features an atrium flooded with natural light, open-plan offices and horizontally staggered work stations. A public urban space with shops runs through the ground floor, linking the Marco Polo Terraces to the newly landscaped Elbe waterfront promenade, where the Elbterrassen steps make the riverfront accessible.
MARCO POLO TOWER WINS REAL ESTATE “OSCAR”
Like the Unilever headquarters building, the Marco Polo Tower (58) next door, with some 60 apartments, has also won multi-ple awards. In 2010, the residential tower won the real estate “Oscar”, the MIPIM award, in the residential developments category. The previous year it was named
ern Überseequartier. At ground floor level, a 1,000 sqm children’s arts cen-ter (KinderKulturHaus) will open, along with other cultural uses on nearly 3,000 sqm and shops and catering. An exclusive option on the property was granted in 2013 to Deutsche Immobilien AG and the Lawaetz trust with Aug.Prien Immobili-en, HANSA Baugenossenschaft, Gemein-nützige Baugenossenschaft Bergedorf-Bille and Bauverein der Elbgemeinden. Building work starts in 2016, with com-pletion planned for 2019. The front 93 m of the quay point, however, will not be built upon – it will be public space.

ÜBERSEEQUARTIER
While the urban qualities of northern Überseequartier continue to unfold, there has been a breakthrough on development and realization of the southern section
Überseequartier – Commercial Heart of HafenCity
Überseequartier is the growing com-mercial heart of HafenCity. Eventual-
ly around two thousand people will reside in this urban space of some 10.5 ha, which will be the place of work for up to 7,000 more. On any day the neighborhood may play host to 40,000–50,000 potential customers. A sophisticated mix of com-mercial uses is gradually being realized from north down to south. Already the northern section of the neighborhood, the most densely built space in HafenCity up to now, with a floor-space index (FSI) of more than 5.0, has impressive big-city appeal. Development here will reach suc-cessful completion in 2017.
GROWING URBANITY
More than 100,000 sqm of floor space above ground has been realized since 2007. The underlying overall urban plan-ning concept by internationally known architects was based on the urban Mas-terplan developed by Trojan Trojan + Partner. More than two dozen shops and
eating places have opened for business; more than 340 apartments have been built and rented. The 32,600 sqm of office space realized is occupied by such well-known companies as lawyers Esche Schümann Commichau and petroleum multinational BP.
In contrast to the tried and trusted shopping formats of Hamburg’s city center with its passageway malls and high-street-format Mönckebergstrasse and Spitalerstrasse, northern Übersee-quartier with its owner-run boutiques, its post office, drug store and supermar-ket, gastronomic attractions and hand-ful of specialist shops already has a pro-file of its own, despite suffering from the delayed development of the south-ern section.
At the beginning of 2015, a special Ger-man real estate investment fund man-aged for several long-term invested pension funds by Hines Immobilien GmbH acquired most of the completed buildings. Sumatrakontor had already been successfully sold to the Blackstone group.
LAST EMPTY SITES
To the north of the former harbor mas-ter’s office (Altes Hafenamt) the elegant Cinnamon 13-story residential tower soars above the other buildings in the neighborhood. Architects Bolles + Wilson (Münster) designed the 57 m tower with its ten privately owned apartments, two of which are triplex homes. The ground floor is occupied by publicly accessible amenities.
The extensive structural conversion of Altes Hafenamt itself, developing it into a gastronomic attraction in its own right, will continue until at least early 2016. The project is in the hands of Groß & Partner in partnership with Hamburg hotelier Kai Hollmann. The former harbor master’s

over the old consortium’s sites in southern Überseequartier, Unibail-Rodamco is acquiring two further city-owned sites to round out its portfolio.
Through the interplay of the prevailing urban planning framework and Unibail-Rodamco’s special expertise, a few urban planning corrections have come about. Now buildings south of the subway are to be better protected against wind by a glass roof and altered positioning. Retail sites will be accommodated on three sto-ries (the basement, upper ground and first floor) running on two levels. This will help to create an attractive mix of shop sizes and will give scope for more gener-ous window displays. The shopping expe-rience will be improved, while the open thoroughfare between the buildings is maintained.
Where Überseequartier stops at the Elbe, Unibail-Rodamco will also be inte-grating the cruise terminal spaces into a building that will replace the temporary Cruise Center HafenCity. Plans for this have also been reworked. With around 5,000 sqm GFA (instead of 3,000 sqm), the new cruise center will also be much more efficient and better linked into the surrounding neighborhood. The building will house additional commercial floor space, as well as a hotel, the whole com-plemented by an underground bus sta-tion, parking space and taxi stand. Christian de Portzamparc, a Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, has already produced designs for an office building around 70 m in height at the entrance to Magdeburger Hafen harbor; it will be a landmark element in the overall architectonic composition of Hamburg’s new perimeter on the Elbe.
Reworking of the designs for all the other buildings continued during the course of 2015 and a new land-use plan was also drafted that now forms the basis on which building applications and approvals are granted. Construction should be able to start in 2017. Comple-tion of central areas with retail, catering, entertainment, cruise terminal, hotel and some office space is expected in 2021.
INTERLINKED SHOPPING AREAS
In the future, closer links between estab-lished inner city shopping areas and HafenCity are planned. Up to now, contin-ued growth of retailing in Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) has led to better quality and choice, but not yet to
basis for the future; to enhance retailing and make it more effective and attractive; to reduce the proportion of office space in favor of apartments, to integrate the cruise terminal more effectively, and to provide weather and wind protection. Southern Überseequartier will retain its open, urban character nevertheless. At the same time the new waterfront on the River Elbe will be invested with an architectonically strik-ing, unique ensemble dominated by the cruise terminal, the Waterfront Towers and a new building to be at least 70 m high by the Pritzker prize-winning architect Chris-tian de Portzamparc.
MIXED USE AND COMMERCIAL CENTER
The new concept for southern Übersee-quartier follows on from the original planning both in terms of use and urban structure. However, the new beginning is also being used by introducing new ele-ments to create much better conditions for long term success in running Übersee-quartier as the mixed use, commercial heart of HafenCity. A shopping district will come into being that is open and urban, not air-conditioned, but protected from the weather, interlinked with other public amenities as well as residential, office and hotel space. Together with the integration of the new cruise terminal, an overall area will take shape that stands alone in terms of intensity of use and size.
NEW CONCEPTS
Under the new concept, the overall amount of office space in Überseequar-tier will be much reduced (from 142,000 sqm to 90,300 sqm GFA), while the pro-portion of residential accommodation almost doubles (from 48,000 sqm to 92,700 sqm GFA). For the first time, resi-dential space (44,800 sqm) is also planned for the southern area. At the same time, retailing is also increasing to 80,500 sqm GFA. Then there are also sites for cultural and entertainment use (10,000–12,000 sqm), bars and restaurants (6,000 sqm) and a hotel (23,500 sqm).

Hollmann, co-founder of the 25hours hotel group and managing director of the Fortune Hotels group, is both co-owner and future man-ager of Altes Hafenamt. The interesting mix of uses, encompassing hotel rooms, catering and retail, combined with a clas-sical open-air street market and an unusual residential building, adds urban pep to the whole of northern Übersee-quartier.
Since late summer 2015, building work has been under way on the last remain-ing unbuilt site in the northern part of the quarter. Between Sandtorkai and Tokiostrasse (34/15 and 34/16) an unusu-ally sophisticated mix of homes, a hotel and entertainment complex with premi-um cinema is taking shape. Prime respon-sibility for its realization is with DC Com-mercial and DC Residential. Nalbach + Nalbach Architekten GmbH of Berlin is responsible for planning the building sit-ed to the north (34/15) in which cinema entrepreneur Hans-Joachim Flebbe (Astor Film Lounge) will operate a luxury cinema. A neighboring hotel to appeal to
families is to be realized by Kai Hollmann, Frederik and Gerrit Braun (Miniatur Wun-derland) and Professor Norbert Aust (Schmidts Tivoli). The winning design for the southern residential and commercial complex (34/16) is by blauraum architek-ten Planungsgesellschaft mbH of Ham-burg. The 200 or more residences to be built here are exclusively for rental, of which one third are subsidized homes.
FRESH START FOR SOUTHERN ÜBERSEEQUARTIER
After delays to building in southern Überseequartier caused by a combina-tion of the financial crisis and weaknesses in the original concept, the breakthrough for a new start was reached in December 2014 at the conclusion of long negotia-tions: Europe’s leading quoted real estate company Unibail-Rodamco is taking on the development, realization and opera-tion of this area, a driver of the urbanity so crucial to HafenCity in its entirety. This was also taken as an opportunity to estab-lish the original concept on a new viable

bridge crossing Magdeburger Hafen basin, the most significant east-west link for pedestrians and cyclists in central Hafen- City. It connects western and central neighborhoods to eastern HafenCity. Like the surrounding promenades, this open space designed by Beth Galí is also paved with natural stone in a stripe pattern with plenty of space for all users.
UNIQUE ELBE ARCADES
In the northern part of the neighbor-hood the customs head office for the City of Hamburg, HafenCity Customs Office, moved into its new location designed by Winking Froh Architekten (Hamburg/Berlin) in 2011 (46). Building work on the expansion of the corporate headquarters of Gebr.Heinemann directly opposite (42) continues until summer 2016. The design, by Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp) of Hamburg, attaches a glass connecting building to the existing historic Heine-mann warehouse which links it to the new extension with an underground garage, six floors of offices and two recessed upper stories. Construction matches up to the standards of the HafenCity gold Ecolabel.
South of Busanbrücke, the Elbe Arcades, opened at the end of 2013 and built to a design by Bob Gysin + Partner BGP Archi-tekten (Zurich), line the whole eastern embankment of Magdeburger Hafen. It is one of the most innovative and ecological buildings in Europe. Rather than a straight promenade, the complex of buildings, which conforms to HafenCity gold Ecola-bel criteria, features a 170 m-long flood-protected arcade, 8 m high and 10 m deep, which is integrated into the build-ings, and fronted by a low public pier
along Magdeburger Hafen basin. The roof of the ensemble provides a garden and play area for its residents.
The 130 apartments allow a wide variety of uses – from multigenerational homes through to residential and workspace lofts, as well as duplexes, and wheelchair friendly units for seniors. Some of the apartments have attached ateliers, pick-ing up on the Elbe Arcades’ character as a center of design in Hamburg.
Two users are channeling the design aspect in particular: designxport, Ham-burg’s primary design scene network, and iF International Forum Design GmbH, which organizes the annual iF design competition award; both are leading pro-
ponents of the creative industry which have chosen to locate to the Elbe Arcades. A multifunctional platform for ideas is gradually coming into being here, a public showcase for local, regional as well as international design talent.
The southern part of the new building (45), topped by conspicuous wind rotors, is the preserve of Greenpeace. The envi-ronmental organization clusters sev-eral of its local and nationwide activities under one roof. Publicly accessible exhib-its in the foyer showcase Greenpeace working topics and campaigns. The high-light is a 6m totem pole – a present from Nuxalk Indians as a thank-you for Green-peace’s work in their homeland.

HafenCity’s New Knowledge Quarter
A lively and diversified quarter is evolv-ing between Magdeburger Hafen,
Brooktorhafen and Am Lohsepark neigh-borhood whose very special atmosphere stems from the new HafenCity University (HCU) with its 2,500 students and various other pioneering undertakings. The urban planning conception for Elbtorquartier picks up on a variety of typologies. While buildings of up to 70 m will be erected in the south, an elongated block structure approximately 170 m long to the east, which is also replicated in Magdeburger Hafen, ties into the existing built structure along Hongkongstrasse.
DISTINCTIVE BRIDGE LINKS WEST AND EAST
From the Speicherstadt, a footway leads over León-Brücke bridge, designed by Aus-trian architects Dietmar Feichtinger and WTM Engineers of Hamburg, directly into the listed Kaispeicher B warehouse build-ing (40). This is the oldest building in HafenCity, erected in 1879 to designs by Wilhelm Emil Meerwein and Bernhard Hanssen, and was thoroughly remodeled to plans by architects MRLV Markovic Ronai Voss. Since summer 2008 it has housed the International Maritime Muse-um Hamburg.
Following the passage through the museum, the visitor arrives on a forecourt on whose waterside the first harbor launch landing stage in central HafenCity was opened in summer 2012. Since late summer 2014, the adjoining promenade on the pier in front of the Elbe Arcades along Magdeburger Hafen has led across Buenos Aires quay, past HCU and on into Baakenhafen neighborhood. This means that walkers and cyclists enjoy an unob-structed route from the Elbe embank-ment at Baakenhafen, and the inner Alster lake.
In the process they will pass over the his-toric recently renamed Busanbrücke

UNIVERSITY WITH ELBE VIEWS
A key role in the Elbtorquartier knowl-edge quarter is played by HafenCity Uni-versity, which opened in April 2014 and is injecting new life into the area. The esthetically convincing newbuild (54) at the entrance to Baakenhafen designed by architects Code Unique (Dresden) opens out simultaneously to the plaza in front of it, to Baakenhafen and to Lohsepark. The overall ecological concept for the build-ing was also pre-certified with the gold HafenCity Ecolabel.
Building works on the Watermark, Free-port and Shipyard building ensemble –ECE of Hamburg’s and Strabag Real Estate’s Intelligent Quarters project –began in January 2015 on a 9,100 sqm site. Designed by Störmer Murphy and Part-ners (Hamburg), HafenCity will also have an iconic landmark office tower around 70 m high at the water’s edge (52). The project also embraces two further build-ings with space for some 46 apartments and ground-floor public amenities. Com-bined with HCU they create a public square. Completion is planned for 2017.
ECUMENICAL FORUM NEXT TO MUSICIANS’ HOUSE
Other excellent projects such as the Ecu-menical Forum (49a) on Shanghaiallee, opened in summer 2012, lend the quarter social and spiritual character. Nineteen Christian churches support this joint reli-gious project – unique in Germany – with its meeting place and café in the publicly accessible ground floor, and chapel as a

Right next door, the Musicians’ House (48) was successfully completed in fall 2014. Artistic and creative people from 12 nations have the chance to realize their dream of creative interaction and collec-tively making music within their own partly soundproofed and flexibly usable four walls.
Stadthaushotel (48) will be Europe’s largest inclusive hotel. Forty of the 60 jobs will go to people with a disability. The around 200 rooms and restaurant of the three-star hotel will be particularly attractive to people with reduced mobil-ity. The Jugend hilft Jugend association is managing the project, with financial sup-port from private sources and the City of Hamburg. The architectural competition for the building was won by Huke-Schubert Berge Architekten (Hamburg); however finance has to be secured before construction can begin. Its size is also being reconsidered. Long completed, on the other hand, is the first residential building to be awarded the gold Ecolabel, NIDUS on Shanghaiallee (49).
Elbtorquartier has very good public transport connections. Messberg U1 sub-way station is to the north, outside HafenCity, while to the south the new U4 subway line began regular services in August 2013 to HafenCity University sta-tion, which has won many awards for its lighting concept.
In Elbtorquartier alongside HafenCity University, a new ensemble of buildings – Watermark, Freeport
and Shipyard – is currently being built, consisting of a 70 m waterside office tower and two other
buildings with about 46 apartments

The look of this quarter will be dominated by closed blocks of five to seven story buildings grouped around the park. Since June 2014, it has been directly connected to Brooktorhafen in the north by the new-ly renovated Ericus bridge – a railroad swing bridge built in 1870.
FAMILY HOMES ON THE PARK
Residential life is increasingly taking on concrete form here at Lohsepark. Construction workers are busy on the two 20,000 sqm gross floor area (GFA) developments between Shanghaiallee and Yokohamastrasse, which will evolve into an urban area consisting of some 300 rental, subsidized, building cooperative and private homes right on the park, inte-grating a wide range of public amenities.
On the northern site (70) of around 5,000 sqm, KOS Wulff Immobilien GmbH is building 54 homes plus commercial space and room for health services and offices (some of the homes, built in cooperation with Leben mit Behinder-ung Hamburg e.V., are designed for resi-dents with physical disabilities), while Otto Wulff Projektentwicklung GmbH is responsible for construction of a child daycare center, in addition to 47 private apartments. Cooperative housing cor-poration Bergedorf-Bille is also realizing a childcare center and another 58 apart-ments, some of which are publicly sub-sidized. There will also be communal spaces for residents to get together. The ground-floor spaces on Shanghaiallee have been occupied since August 2015 by gourmet restaurant “The Table”, run by Kevin Fehling, the youngest German chef to be awarded three Michelin stars. Other construction projects are powering ahead: the apartments in the residential complex will be ready to move into in fall 2015, and the kindergarten will open.
The residential building on the southern plot (71) next door is being built by a joint building venture consortium consisting of 70 parties (Dock 71) and managed by Stattbau Hamburg and Conplan GmbH, with Hamburg home-builder Behrendt Wohneigentum GmbH and building cooperative Hamburger Wohnen.

Central Green Urban District Replaces Industrial Pioneers
An attractive urban space is emerging in central HafenCity – at its heart its
green core, Lohsepark. Since all of the buildings adjoin the green space to the west and east, this continues Hamburg’s town planning tradition of planting large parks amid residential and work-ing neighborhoods. Development of the neighborhood started from the par-tially listed red-brick ensemble between Lohseplatz and Shanghaiallee, whose residents include the Prototyp private collection of automobiles and the non-

One of the special features of this project is a roof-top landscape with terraces, garden houses, glasshouses and viewing points; the interior courtyard is intended as a green area for relaxation and social encounter. The northern build-ing complex should be completed in 2016, while construction is due to begin in 2015 on the southern section.

The residential parts are designed by KSP Jürgen Engel Architek-ten (Brunswick), the hotel element was conceived by Kister Scheithauer Gross Architekten und Stadtplaner (Cologne). Completion is planned for 2017/18.
The former customs office site (66), one of the few not owned by Hamburg’s special fund for port and city assets, offers around 9,000 sqm GFA for a mix of uses with a residential element.

In and around Lohsepark, a place of remembrance to Nazi victimsis being created, composed of three elements including a topographical “seam” tracing the
tracks of deportation trains from Hanover Railroad Station to ghettos and extermination camps
HafenCity in the tradition of Hamburg’s existing Volkspark. Covering 4.4 ha, it will incorporate a variety of urban, social and ecological functions.
Framed by an unobstructed visual axis from Ericusspitze to the Elbe, the 80 m-wide park stretches 600 m in length like a wide green ribbon from waterside to waterside. Its generous sweeps of grass crisscrossed by a loose network of paths, seating and play areas and interspersed with more than 530 trees, provide relax-ing surroundings.
Construction of Lohsepark is proceed-ing quickly. While the park has looked pretty green in the north and south since 2013, large parts of the central area were opened to the public to coincide with the HSH Nordbank Run in HafenCity in 2015, including play areas for children, a stone grotto and a street basketball court. In contrast to this urban scene, the park will show its softer side at its northern lim-its on the embankment of Ericusgraben canal: an underwater sheet pile wall pro-vides the conditions for a gently inclin-ing thicket of herbage, shrubs, reeds and rushes. At the same time, trees are gradu-ally being planted in the central section of the park; by the end of 2015, all the earth-works should be completed so that the official opening can take place in summer 2016 after the grass areas have grown.
PARK CENTERED ON MEMORIAL
On the site where Lohsepark is emerg-ing section by section, parts of Hanover Railroad Station once stood, the point of departure for at least 7,692 Jews, Sinti and Roma deported to Nazi ghettos and extermination camps in the 1940s. Today nothing of it is visible: bomb-ing destroyed large parts of the main building and the last ruins of the sta-tion entrance archway were blown up in 1955. During the planning phase for the park, however, it was possible to identify remnants of the platform from which a total 20 deportation transports departed between 1940 to 1945. This is one of three elements that will create a fitting place of remembrance for the victims: the now listed relics of the historic station plat-form and its surroundings, connecting with Lohsepark to the east; a topographi-cal reference in the form of a seam trac-ing the route of the old rail tracks, and a documentation center. New premises for the latter, for which HafenCity Ham-burg GmbH launched an architectural competition in summer 2015, will stand on the edge of the park at the corner of Steinschanze/Am Lohsepark (BF 68/69). The ground floor of the new building will house offices and provide space for a per-
residential and commercial uses (74-76) is also planned to the east of the park. This could be a highly diversified quarter with a small-scale mix of uses and strong links to the creative Oberhafen neighbor-hood. More than half of the plots could be used for residential building, of which a third would be subsidized. Privately owned, rental and coop apartments, as well as student accommodation are all possibilities. Since July 2015, a small por-tion of the area has been dedicated as a new location for the highly popular tem-porary HafenCity soccer pitch. A group of enthusiasts rolled up their sleeves and got to work – with support from HafenC-ity Hamburg GmbH, the St. Katharinen parish and Spielhaus HafenCity e.V. – and laid out an artificial turf field with addi-tional areas for neighborhood activities. A gymnasium secondary school, which will also serve as a community center (77), is also to be built from 2016/17 to the southeast of Lohsepark.

this conspicuous newbuild is by Gewers & Pudewill (Berlin). As more companies move in – plot 73 the northernmost plot to the east of Lohsepark is also available for corporate uses – Brooktorhafen will develop into an attractive place to work, peppered with businesses of differing sizes, benefiting from their vicinity to such corporate neighbors as Gebr.Heinemann, Spiegel publishing or DNV Germanischer Lloyd in surrounding quarters.
At the same time, Shanghaiallee, with its broad sidewalks and comparatively busy traffic volume, is increasingly assuming the character of an attractive urban street for business or living in. It was built at an early stage of HafenCity’s development as a flood-secure axis running through the center from the Speicherstadt in the north to HafenCity University in the south.

BUSINESSES COMPLETE THE URBAN PICTURE
Another ingredient in the vitality of Lohsepark’s mix of green space and resi-dential areas – as throughout HafenCity – will be the influence of business on local life. On the corner of Shanghaiallee and Koreastrasse the Hamburg oil company Marquard & Bahls is building a new corpo-rate headquarters. Offering around 18,000 sqm GFA, the building (65) will probably be ready to welcome 700 employees to their workplaces in early 2016. Retailers and catering uses will occupy the ground floor. The building will have an unusual three-story urban balcony along Brooktorhafen embankment which will link the interior atrium with the surroundings. Planning of

Beginning with existing buildings, a nucleus of creative industries will emerge, well integrated with its surroundings
OBERHAFEN
Centrally located, a dynamic cultural and creative neighborhood is developing south of Oberhafen harbor, bringing fresh potential for Hamburg
Oberhafen – the Creative and Cultural Quarter
Today the quarter already has a mix of creative users; cultural events are already taking place. This will form
the basis of a permanent creative milieu
tion. The mainly single-story goods sheds form the backbone. Sites are not sold, but remain the permanent property of the special fund for city and port (adminis-tered by HafenCity Hamburg GmbH), not least to retain the possibility of shaping development in Hamburg’s interests and secure a sound economic basis.
DIALOG-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
The various development concepts for the neighborhood will be worked out dur-ing the course of an intensive dialog pro-cess, based on a longer development timeframe of up to ten years. Throughout the development phase, HafenCity Ham-burg GmbH will be cooperating closely with Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft GmbH, with an energetic exchange of ideas with creative enterprises and many other creative and a variety of interested individuals. A kick-off international sym-posium in spring 2011 started the ball roll-
ing, and has been followed by numerous other events and discussions. In the same framework, the Oberhafen e.V. organiza-tion is promoting the careful, sustainable development of the neighborhood into a lively location for art, culture and creative activities.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CULTURE AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Long warehouses and multi-story frontage buildings are the main features of Oberhafen neighborhood. Changing the use of these buildings, which were formerly largely used by logistics compa-nies, will lend them a strong public char-acter. Nevertheless, new usage permits and considerable modernization will be needed, as well as flood-protection for individual buildings. In general, it will only be possible to supplement the exist-ing buildings in the medium term, for example through private or cooperative
building projects, if this serves the inter-ests of the cultural or creative branches and, like the old buildings, they are sublet at affordable rents.
The quarter’s mix of old and new is planned to create around 500 jobs in var-ious cultural and creative industry activi-ties long term, forming the basis for a lasting creative scene that could spill over later into the Central Wholesale Market site to the east. Small-scale gastronomy and exhibition and presentation spaces will also serve to reinforce the public function of the quarter and aid its inte-gration into the rest of HafenCity.
Because of the complexity of local con-ditions, expressions of interest were invit-ed for the first time at the beginning of 2012 to find a use concept for a newly vacant site. From the 15 proposed con-cepts submitted, an interdisciplinary jury selected Hanseatic Materialverwaltung. This successful concept sets out to supply Hamburg cultural institutions, state schools, universities, societies as well as involved citizens with equipment and scenery for social, ecological or creative projects.
In October 2013, Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft and HafenCity Hamburg GmbH launched another invitation for tenders, this time for a 6,000 sqm space for exhibition and catering uses. The com-bination of gastronomy and an event space is highly challenging in terms of organization and financing. Since none of the concepts so far entered was wholly convincing after more detailed discus-sions, the search will continue in two separate proceedings: first to find an operator for the catering element, and subsequently a manager for the event
Oberhafen nucleus: Though the area consisted till recently mostly of dedi-
cated railroad facilities and most of the storage sheds served logistics companies, a variety of creative uses have also been here for at least ten years. Cultural events in different formats take place regularly. From the short-film festival to dance per-formances, creative co-working spaces to places like Halle 424, an old warehouse at the end of Stockmeyerstrasse which unites a modern gallery with a cool loca-tion for jazz and classical music under one roof: the conditions are in place for a live-ly art and cultural scene to grow, well linked to the rest of HafenCity as well as Rothenburgsort, City Süd and the new cultural activities developing there, and Hamburg’s “museum mile”.
To do this, however, the “normal” HafenCity development process has been turned on its head. Instead of a new urban concept, the point of departure for devel-opment here is to find new uses for exist-ing buildings; a step-by-step transforma-
and exhibition elements. Another 1,000 sqm is in preparation at the moment for use by HafenCity University. HCU is furnishing student studios and ateliers as well as experimental, creative and meet-ing spaces here. In addition since August 2014, Hamburger Gängeviertel e.V. actors have been using the area for public programs and projects for a temporary period.
PLAYING FIELDSON THE WATERFRONT
In addition to the focus on creative and cultural uses in Oberhafen, unbuilt areas in the neighborhood also offer opportuni-ties for sport and leisure activities. Public facilities for sports of all kinds, including a small soccer ground, will be developed on former railroad tracks on the embank-ment of Oberhafen basin. The facilities will serve children and youngsters from inner city areas and HafenCity in particu-lar and can also be used by sports clubs. HafenCity’s gymnasium school and two primary schools will also be able to use the fields for school sport.
POWER PLANT OBERHAFEN
The area also plays an important role in energy supply for eastern HafenCity. Thermal energy for the whole of east-ern HafenCity is being generated by the enterprise Enercity in part of Goods Shed 4, only recognizable from outside because of its chimney . A cogeneration plant con-cealed behind the brick façade produces a total heat output of 10 MW. Leading edge technology crammed into the tiny space
includes a combined heat and power unit, two natural gas-powered boilers (offset biomethane gas), a heat accumulation plant, and a substation for power supply to the local power grid.

KPW (Hamburg), Meck (Munich), Schenk + Waiblinger (Hamburg) and 6a (London)
The 1 km peninsula of the future Baakenhafen neighborhood stretches far into the Elbe; it forms HafenCity’s largest harbor basin
LARGE COURTYARDS WITH WATER VISTAS
The urban planning competition for the neighborhood was won by APB Architek-ten (Hamburg) in August 2011. The mod-erately staggered height of the planned buildings is a particularly convincing fea-ture. They will be of four to seven stories, in semi-open blocks with a few smaller, open variations. On the Elbe side, the buildings in the southern sub-section will have spacious inner courtyards opening out toward the Elbe, but forming an inci-sive perimeter to the city.
The rhythmic arrangement of the plots to the north between the port and Vers-mannstrasse where the buildings have diverse uses also guarantees real pro-tection against noise emissions from Versmannstrasse and the railroad line. They form a closed block frontage on the
street side, with the buildings opening out toward Baakenhafen harbor basin. This urban planning mechanism shields courtyards facing the water from noise. Thus even apartments on the street enjoy a noise-protected southern aspect, since small units facing the north only are not possible: all apartments “pierce” through, always having a southern aspect, too.
FIRST CONSTRUCTION START
An important step toward development of the neighborhood was the opening of the award-winning Baakenhafen bridge in August 2013. This 170 m link is much more than a local bridge. It opened the way for infrastructural development of eastern HafenCity and, during reconstruction of Versmannstrasse and work on extending the U4 subway, also channels traffic to and

Living, Leisure and Work between Double Waterfronts
On either side of HafenCity’s longest harbor basin, the coming years will see
a sustainable “urban village” grow up in the midst of this big city. Around Baaken-hafen basin a green neighborhood for residences and leisure will develop, with a variety of housing – some of it subsi-dized – to suit the needs of families, stu-dents and retired people, as well as many work places. Its topographical center will be Baakenpark, an artificial promontory extending over 1.6 ha, surrounded by water, which will fulfill a wide range of functions: first as a green space and rec-reational area, but also as a connecting element between the northern and southern sections of the quarter. Con-struction work will begin here in 2016. Completion of the whole neighborhood, apart from a few individual projects in the northeast, will probably be by 2021.
from the south of Hamburg. The central segment of the bridge can be lifted using the power of the tide, so that Hamburg’s larger historic ships can continue to reach Baakenhafen harbor.
Meanwhile development of the two plots at the northwest “entrance” to the neighborhood is going well. The architec-tural competition for the Campustower project at the junction of Versmannstrasse and Grandeswerderstrasse, directly oppo-site HafenCity University, was decided in December 2014. A 15-story office tower with side wings will take shape, as well as a building in a quiet situation by the water, in which one third subsidized homes and private apartments are planned. With total floor area of 22,000 sqm, designs are by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
(Vienna) and sop architekten (Düsseldorf) and realization by GARBE Immobilien- Projekte GmbH. Building begins in 2016.
Next door, excavation machines have been at work since early summer 2015. While DS-Bauconcept is building a 220-room family hotel here for Jufa-Gruppe with special facilities for children and teen-agers, the Justus Grosse Projektentwick-lung GmbH is responsible for around 150 publicly subsidized and privately financed apartments going up between Vers-mannstrasse and the harbor basin (81a/b). Planning for the project was by KBNK Architekten and PFP Architekten (both of Hamburg). An option to plan for the site on the east side of Gerda Gmelin square (83a) was granted to P&B Sportsdome Manage-ment GmbH in June 2015 for a very special
sports use. After a successful architectural competition, construction work on the site could start at the earliest from 2016.
URBAN VILLAGE
In the southern part of the neighbor-hood, the nucleus of an “urban village” will grow up around Lola Rogge Platz, including an attractive market square with all func- tions essential to eastern HafenCity. In addition to a supermarket, the area is planned for smaller shops, a health and beauty supermarket and other services, including doctors and a pharmacy. Adjoin-ing it to the east between Baakenallee and Baakenpark, a school and recreation center including a primary school and 200-place children’s daycare facility will open in 2018.

HOUSES IN WATER
A clue to the overall upmarket character to be expected in Baakenhafen is in the architecture of the “HafenCity Water-houses”, sustainable residential towers which will grow out of the waters of the harbor. The jury for the architectural competition for this ensemble, including political representatives and HafenCity residents, awarded a total of three prizes in July 2012. Although the first prize went to Shigeru Ban Architects Europe (Paris), Studio Gang Architects (Chicago) were given a second prize, with Szyszkowitz-Kowalski + Partner ZT GmbH (Graz) com-ing in as the third prize winner. Options have already been assigned on four Waterhouses designed by Shigeru Ban to be built in the center of the harbor basin. A site next to Baakenhafen bridge is foreseen for the two buildings designed by Szyszkowitz-Kowalski + Partner ZT GmbH. Finally, a single Waterhouse, to be built to the design by Studio Gang, is to go up on the northern side of the basin, in the east, where the neighborhood meets Elbbrückenquartier.
flood-protected and geared to future traffic demands. At the same time as the road works, the U4 subway line is being extended from HafenCity University sta-tion to Elbbrücken station. Work is pro-gressing well: in summer 2015 prelimi-nary work on the extensive storage and reversing sidings were completed. This section of subway is planned for comple-tion by the end of 2018. At that point the U4 line will also connect eastern neigh-borhoods of HafenCity to the Hamburg subway network, allowing transfers to and from the rapid transit S-Bahn. The stretch between HafenCity University and Elbbrücken stations will be around 1.3 km long and will take about two min-
At 75 percent, the proportion of space given over to residences in the neighbor-hood is about as large as in Dalmannkai, although the first buildings in the south-ern section of the quarter reveal much greater variety and mix: 44 percent of liv-ing space will be in the subsidized accom-modation sector (two grades of eligibil-ity: 1 and 2). Around Lola Rogge Platz one residential building company will be introducing concepts for a varied mix of building including homes for people with disabilities or in need of care, and for students.
After the granting of options to plan on eight plots – including four of the Water-houses designed by Shigeru Ban – to 11 option purchasers at the end of 2014 (see diagram p. 41), more architects have been finalized. The winners in the first archi-tectural competition for the core area (91-93) are Lorenzen (Hamburg), Max Dudler (Berlin), KPW (Hamburg), Meck (Munich), Schenk + Waiblinger (Ham-burg), as well as 6a (London). A second competition closed in fall 2015. Shortly before, the next invitation to tender got under way for at least 600 residential units in Baakenhafen.
GREEN ISLAND IN HARBOR BASIN
At the end of April 2012 Atelier Loidl (Berlin) was announced winner of the international open space competition. The winning design cleverly blends multiple leisure uses with the special maritime atmosphere of Baakenhafen quarter. At Baakenhafen’s heart is the 1.6 ha Baakenpark peninsula which will offer a playground, play and community building, trees and grassy expanses for recreational activities and relaxing from 2017. With the successful conclusion of landfill works, extensive landscaping of the open spaces began in summer 2015. A footbridge to the north, the winning design by Hamburg architects Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp) and Knippers Helbig Advanced Engineering of Stutt-gart, will aid the spatial integration of the two land areas.
Once Versmannstrasse is opened to traffic again from 2018, a 30 m-wide Elbe promenade, leading along the river
utes. The subway line will run beneath the raised and rebuilt Versmannstrasse as far as Baakenwerder Strasse and then resurface toward Elbbrücken at about the level of the bridges.
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
The whole neighborhood is a model of sustainable mobility: all developers are obliged to implement sustainable mobil-ity criteria, for which the concept and form of organization have to be included during the phase when the site is under option. The criteria include a below-aver-age parking slot ratio of 0.4 per home, a recharging infrastructure for e-vehicles
and its integration into a car-sharing con-cept based on individual buildings, which should include a high proportion of elec-tric vehicles (see sustainability chapter). Since these measures are better tailored to the mobility needs of households, they will help greatly to reduce the need for individual motorized transport in Baaken-hafen, as they are coupled with shopping and workplaces on the spot, excellent and well-integrated public transport, as well as high-quality routes for cyclists and pedestrians.
The topographical heart of Baakenhafen neighborhood is the 1.6 ha artificial promontory Baakenpark

Since June 2013, work has been in full swing on extending the U4 subway line toward Elbbrücken. Completion is planned for the end of 2018. By then, as part of continuing building since April 2015, a new subway station will be in place at Elbbrücken. The convincing win-ning design by the Hamburg architects Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp), was presented in April 2013. The load-bearing steel exterior structure has an interior glass façade opening up visual sightlines and simultaneously integrating the con-text of the Elbe bridges. In addition an interchange is to be established with the rapid transit network (S-Bahn) via a new S-Bahn station at Elbbrücken.
Urban planning development of the neighborhood will take place from 2016 to
2025, but mainly after construction works in Baakenhafen quarter are finished. Plan-ning of main access roads, embankment zones and clearance of sites has already begun. Work on renewing and widening the Zweibrückenstrasse bridge began in 2014. The Hafenbahnbrücke and the exist-ing Zweibrückenstrasse bridge will be demolished consecutively and replaced in each case by a new bridge. Then the two sections will be joined. One level deeper work is under way on the second impor-tant components of the project; the sharp northern curve of Zweibrückenstrasse will be moderated and the road will be joined directly to Baakenwerderstrasse. The upgrading work will not only provide much broader passage on Zweibrücken-strasse and improved cycle paths and sidewalks, the road will be much better protected in future against flooding. The reopening of these facilities is planned for mid-2016.
Protected by the high-rise ensemble, a densely built residential quarter will emerge at the head of
Baakenhafen basin with around 1,000 high-quality apartments (urban planning revision in progress)
ELBBRÜCKEN
HafenCity’s eye-catching eastern threshold, with its closeness to water and lush Entenwerder island, will also make a very attractive neighborhood to live in
A Metropolitan Business and Residential Neighborhood with a View
Elbbrücken neighborhood, named for this major River Elbe bridging point,
will be HafenCity’s second urban center after Überseequarter. Spectacular high-rises, water surfaces on three sides and a large central plaza will characterize this very densely built business and residen-tial location. Space for large retail users could also be developed in the Elbbrü-cken center.
Three striking towers up to 150 m high will be built next to the Elbbrücken bridges. Visible for miles around, they will mark the eastern entry point to HafenCity and the rest of the city, with-out detracting from Hamburg City’s sil-
houette. Whereas up to 40 stories are possible in each of these towers, build-ings of comparable height anywhere else in Hamburg would spoil its famous outline of church spires. The basements of the towers could also contain space for retail users.
UPMARKET CORPORATE BASE
Apart from the high-rise ensemble, mostly block structures of six to seven stories will be built along Versmannstras-se. Fourteen-story stand-alone towers will form the built structure to the east in
front of the Freihafen bridge crossing the Elbe and the rail tracks.
Overall, large business enterprises could lend Elbbrücken extraordinary presence. But smaller and growing businesses will also benefit by relocating there. A broad spectrum of properties for businesses and great accessibility offer ideal condi-tions for dynamic urban and business growth.
LIVING BY THE WATER
To allow offices to be positioned to minimize noise, the eastern end of Baa-kenhafen harbor basin will be partly filled in. This will allow buildings to be erected in a double row, with higher commercial buildings to protect the residential ones on the inward side toward the water. Moving eastwards through the quarter, there is an increasing concentration of retail, catering and particularly office and hotel uses. Despite the volume of traffic crossing bridges and using Vers-mannstrasse, this intelligent structure will create noise-protected zones ideal for homes.
Around the head of Baakenhafen har-bor and Amerigo Vespucci square, a densely built residential quarter will develop, with around 1,000 high-quality homes. Along the promenade and on the square it will feature a variety of upmar-ket public amenities as ground-floor uses, such as restaurants and bars and retail. The final urban planning compe-tition for HafenCity, whose results have been finalized since fall 2015, has defined the configuration of the eastern head of the harbor basin and its connection to Amerigo Vespucci square in more detail and thus thought through the HafenCity project to its conclusion at urban design

front on the Elbe. Thus HafenCity creates a high density of uses with a high propor-tion of public spaces and low proportion of road infrastructure.
CITY OF SHORT, ATTRACTIVE ROUTES
HafenCity is also characterized by a fine-grained horizontal and vertical mix of a variety of urban uses. As homes, work-places, cultural and leisure facilities and commerce are closely clustered, distances between them are comparatively short. Reinforced by a closely meshed network of cycle and footpaths, 70 percent of which run across promenades, jetties and squares and around 30 percent right on the waterfront, taking in private spaces also, it is frequently possible to do with-out a car in HafenCity. Commensurately only 13 km of road compare with almost 35 km of walking routes. A total 23 km of routes are available to cyclists, including users of the successful Hamburg StadtRad cycle rental system (with six stations in HafenCity already).
But it is easy to reach HafenCity without a car in any case. Cyclists and pedestrians can cover the obstacle-free route from the city center in just a few minutes. At the same time the public transport service is also good. The new U4 subway line, in ser-vice since the end of 2012, is a central ele-ment here. The trip from Jungfernstieg to Überseequartier takes four minutes – and to HafenCity University six minutes. At the latest with the opening of the third sub-way station at Elbbrücken in 2018 and the virtual completion of HafenCity construc-tion by 2025–2030, around 35,000 people a day are expected to be using the U4. There is also a dense network of bus stops and the first ferry pier is in service near the Elbphilharmonie (two more – HafenCity University and Elbbrücken – are to follow).
MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
Ground-breaking transport infra-structure will also characterize eastern HafenCity, a highly densified urban area. Baakenhafen and Elbbrücken will not only be served by an attractive public transportation service of buses and sub-ways, the entire zone will function as a kind of research lab for low-pollution mobility. Building developers here have to fulfil a catalog of sustainable criteria. For instance, they must commit to equip all underground garages with charging equipment for electric vehicles and to get involved in developing car-sharing systems including a high proportion of electric vehicles. These are supposed to include e-bikes, Pedelecs and other elec-trically powered micro vehicles. The City of Hamburg has scrapped its previous requirement that buildings provide 0.6 parking slots per residential unit, but builders in Baakenhafen have to agree from the outset to a different approach: instead of committing to a minimum number of parking spaces, builders will have to come up with concepts for con-figurations of reliable and user-friendly mobility supply which will increase the attractions of individual properties to residents, as well as the neighborhood as a whole.
HafenCity as a whole is part of the Ham-burg electromobility model region and already has two public recharging points (including Hamburg’s first rapid charging station). Since February 2012, buses and cars have also been able to refill with cli-mate-friendly hydrogen at the station opposite the Spiegel publishing house.
LOW-EMISSION THERMAL ENERGY
Supply of HafenCity’s heating power is also sustainable. Thus, all buildings in western HafenCity are connected to dis-trict heating networks driven by combined heat and power generation operated by Vattenfall. When combined, for instance, with solar and geothermal plants, this pro-duces an efficient blend of energy with CO2 emissions of 175g/kWh. To compare: “classical” new heat supply meeting envi-ronmental standards for individual build-ings produces average CO2 emissions of 240g/kWh.
But even the good performance of the western HafenCity district heating net-work will be outstripped in eastern Hafen-City through its decentralized, modular local heating supply network which will produce CO2 emissions of just 89 g/kWh. Thanks to its decentralized structure, the supply system operated by Enercity can grow in parallel with the city district. The first building block in the network is the Oberhafen “powerhouse”. Only its chim-ney is visible from outside. Part of the old goods shed will be used to supply thermal energy to the whole of eastern HafenCity. Hidden behind the red-brick walls, the combined heat and power generating plant produces a total thermal output of 10 MW. This smallest of spaces is fitted out with state of the art technology: includ-ing a combined heat and power generat-ing plant, two natural gas-fired furnaces, a heat accumulation plant and an electric transformer substation to feed the energy into the local power network.
Outstanding among the distinguishing features of the heating concept in east-ern HafenCity is that it uses a significant proportion of renewable energies and pri-marily locally sourced combustible fuels, because there is no sizable energy source in
HafenCity is setting leading-edge standards for the future through sustainable urban development. Intensive re-use of old docks and industrial areas is enlarging Hamburg City’s area by 40 percent
A City for the 21st Century
The principle behind the development of HafenCity is in itself an important crite-
rion for sustainability in urban develop-ment since, instead of expanding Ham-burg into land on its periphery, disused inner-city areas of the port are being regenerated. In addition to recycling of land, therefore, HafenCity represents a densification of the inner city which also embraces many other primarily ecologi-cal, as well as economic and social, aspects of sustainability. This is being initiated at a wide range of levels, for example in building projects, in supply of heating energy and in the area of mobility. Through its innovative energy and heat-ing supply system alone, HafenCity will
SUSTAINABILITY
emit around 50 percent less CO2 than comparable urban locations, thus also contributing to fulfilling Hamburg’s cli-mate goal of a 40 percent cut in CO2 emis-sions by 2020 compared with 1990 levels.
EFFICIENT LAND USE
HafenCity is developing on 157 ha of for-mer port and industrial sites in a central location. In contaminated areas such as the site of the old gasworks (now south-ern Überseequartier), the soil was removed in an elaborate process, consid-erably enhancing the ecological value of this old industrial area and also signifi-cantly reducing the area of surface sealing
of soil. Intensive use is also being made of the ground as a resource through high building density: floor space indexes (FSI) range from 3.7 to 5.6 according to neigh-borhood, which is in line with density in other mature European urban centers. In HafenCity, density of uses is correspond-ingly high, with 110 residents and 354 local employees per hectare (land surface).
New standards are also being set in terms of distribution of space. Road areas take up only 24 percent of land area (com-pared with around 40 percent in Hamburg City between Willy Brandt Strasse and the Alster, including road surrounds), while 38 percent is available for publicly accessible open spaces, including the 3.1 km river-

The HafenCity Ecolabel has proven to be a huge success. Within just a few years, numerous projects have been certified in line with the rigorous criteria for the gold standard, been pre-certified or planned for it, including Katharinenschule primary school, the HafenCity University building, the Elbe Arcades on Magdeburger Hafen as well as the Musicians’ House and Ecu-menical Forum on Shanghaiallee. The first confirmed certified holder was Unilever headquarters on Strandkai. Since then, the highest grade of HafenCity sustain-ability certification has also gone to the Spiegel publishing group building, Cen-turion Commercial Center, as well as the Nidus Loft (the first residential building). Meanwhile, tendering invitations now increasingly call for compliance with the gold criteria. In Am Lohsepark neighbor-hood all buildings on sites belonging to Hamburg special fund for city and port are to be built to gold standard. These criteria are also regular for the eastern neighbor-hoods of Baakenhafen and Elbbrücken.
SUSTAINABLE BRIDGE BUILDING
Sustainable construction in HafenCity is not confined to buildings. Baakenhafen bridge has also set standards in many ways. As one of just five pilot projects throughout Germany it was planned and
realized in line with specific sustainability aspects and rated “very good” according to the criteria for assessing “sustainabil-ity of road bridges in the life cycle” devel-oped by the German Federal Institute for Roads.
OSAKA 9 – SUSTAINABILITY PAVILION
An overview of the HafenCity sustain-ability concept can be seen in the “Osa-ka 9” sustainability pavilion on the embankment promenade on Magdeburg-er Hafen harbor basin. Core topics in the exhibition are sustainable ground use and mixed use city structure, an energy and
time-saving mobility structure, as well as sustainable power supply and sustainable buildings. The info-pavilion is also the starting point for tours and is a popular location for events right by the water.
SUSTAINABILITY
HafenCity itself (e.g. waste industrial heat). The co-generation plant will be powered by offset biomethane gas: it is produced in agricultural biogas plants and refined in a treatment plant so that it can be fed into the natural gas grid. Similar to electric-ity generated from regenerative sources, biogas plants feed in the volume of gas to be consumed in another location – for instance in the urban area of HafenCity. This is known as offsetting. The Oberhafen co-generation plant will be “supplied” by biogas producers in Schleswig-Holstein.
LIFE BY THE WATER
A loose-knit building structure close to expanses of water also has a positive envi-ronmental impact. This results in a reduc-tion of the heat island effect in the city in summer and thus leads to lower ventila-tion and air-conditioning requirements – and more comfortable conditions at home and in the office. However, the position by the water and thus proximity to port activ-ity, as with traffic noise in eastern Hafen-City, means that high levels of protection
for both people and buildings are neces-sary. Positioning of buildings, orientation of living space and special window sur-rounds help to cut down on the effects of noise. Port planning regulations also limit emissions from the port south of the Elbe to the current level.
Another important aspect of sustainabil-ity is to cater for long-term flood protection requirements. Because of its position in the tidal part of the River Elbe, HafenCity is subject to considerable risks of flooding in cases of extreme storm surges. HafenCity was therefore built on compacted artifi-cial foundations – “warfts” – raising it to 8–9 m over sea level above the former level of the port and not, as is usual for low-lying areas, surrounded by dikes or provided with flood defense barriers. To protect it against high water, therefore, a new formation has taken shape, with the artificial “warft” that forms a flexible boundary between water and land: lower-lying areas such as promenades and parts of squares are designed to provide expan-sion surfaces and are flooded during severe storm surges – in such cases HafenCity is
robbed of some of its public space for an hour or two, but at higher levels it contin-ues to function as a “normal” city. Another side effect is that cars can be parked in the flood-protected underground garages inside building plinths. Above-ground parking slots are not allowed in buildings. Stationary vehicles therefore consume little public space (see p.60 ff).
THE HAFENCITY ECOLABEL IN GOLD AND SILVER
HafenCity Hamburg GmbH unveiled Germany’s first certification system for sustainable building in 2007. The gold Ecolabel for extraordinary attainment is designed to motivate developers and users to handle resources responsibly. The system evaluates the ecological, economic and social sustainability of a projected building. Initially the Ecolabel applied only to residential, office and spe-cial construction. But since 2010 retail or hotel uses and multi-uses are also being certified.
Buildings are certified which meet at least three of five categories of special or outstanding attainment. The developer submits the application, presenting plan-ning documentation demonstrating the special or outstanding sustainability of its building. After positive examination by an independent auditor, the project receives preliminary certification. This gives builders and developers the oppor-tunity to convince potential buyers or ten-ants of the sustainability of their desired property in the early marketing phase. The final certificate is awarded after the project is completed, when implementa-tion of Category 1 energy standards can be documented.
Certification breaks down into five categories:
• reduction of primary energy consump-tion well beyond statutory require-ments for running a building
• sustainable management of public goods (e.g. using advanced sanitary

delighting the public in its temporary theater tent every year. Art and Culture in HafenCity, the important cooperation between Hamburg Arts Foundation, Kör-ber Foundation and HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, successfully promotes new proj-ects. In cooperation with three cultural greats in the Hamburg culture scene (Kampnagel, the Hamburg Kunstverein and the Deichtorhallen), several art proj-ects have been initiated since 2011, which drive forward the debate on the oppor-tunities of social coexistence in the new urban public sphere emerging in Hafen- City. The HafenCity cultural coordination circle also brings together many actors and activities. This panel of experts, set up in May 2005 by the Hamburg Culture Ministry, holds regular meetings with HafenCity Hamburg GmbH representa-tives to promote the arts and culture in the new city district. In developing con-cepts, it takes on a share of responsibility for development of the range of cultural activities in HafenCity.
SUMMER IN HAFENCITY
HafenCity has become a popular and in some cases, permanent venue for events of almost every size, from pop-up street performances through to major events. From the Long Night of the Museums, Hamburg Architecture Summer, to the
Harbour Front literary festival, the Elbjazz festival – the list of events is a long one. The squares and promenades of Hafen-City frequently serve as open-air stages, auditoria or dance floors. Popular mag-nets for visitors are Summer in HafenCity, an annual event with open-air tango and swing, evening readings in a maritime atmosphere, or children’s building sites. The same goes for the Körber foundation’s series of top-level discussions open to the public in the Körber Forum.
Other widely varying events attracting an increasingly mixed public range from the former East German refrigerator ship MS Stubnitz, a music venue featuring everything from Pakistani jazz to hardcore electro music, now anchored in Baakenha-fen, to the relaxed Club 20457 on Osaka-allee or after-work sessions at the Sunset Lounge in front of the Unilever building.
FRESH IMPULSE FOR THE CREATIVE ECONOMY
Oberhafen, with its creative and cultural scene, is developing into a central source of inspiration (see p. 36ff). It has been used for all kinds of creative uses for ten years or more, and is a venue for large and small cultural events on a regular basis. But it is only since the majority of space has been freed up for artistic and cultural uses that Oberhafen has finally blossomed, becom-ing the nucleus of a creative and cultural neighborhood accommodating the short film festival, dance performances, creative co-working spaces, Gängerviertel e.V. (in temporary premises), or locations like Hal-le 424, an old storage shed combining a modern gallery with a cool jazz and classi-cal music location. Oberhafen is also excel-lently linked to the rest of HafenCity as

Curtain Up: HafenCity as a Stage for Art and Culture
Up until 2003, HafenCity was a big blank spot on Hamburg’s cultural map. Its
status as a free-port and the Port Devel-opment Act prohibited any type of usage that was unrelated to port activities. Art and culture therefore only subsequently gradually found a place here. However, cultural and artistic uses are a very impor-tant driving force in the new district’s development.
The decision to maintain structures typi-cal of a port wherever possible was there-fore a cultural signpost in itself, provid-ing a backdrop for culture in HafenCity: the harbor basins, quay walls, cranes and
a few warehouses were restored. At the same time, from the very start the needs of art and culture were taken into account in the design of squares and promenades throughout HafenCity. Thus, in addi-tion to major cultural institutions such as the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall and the International Maritime Museum Hamburg, completely new settings with history are taking shape for art and cul-ture – and, on the southern embankment of Oberhafen, a permanent arts and cre-ative quarter is developing.
Whether for a jazz concert, theater performance or as a platform for readings, HafenCity is a popular location for events and well-established as a venue

In April 2015, the Prototyp automobile museum celebrated its seventh anniver-sary in HafenCity. The permanent exhibi-tion in the listed former premises of the Harburger Gummi-Kamm-Compagnie on Shanghaiallee is based on the private collection of the museum founder. It includes rare automobile icons, including the legendary Porsche 64, as well as orig-inal cars of Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher.
In the immediate vicinity of the historic Speicherstadt several creative and cul-tural uses have opened their doors, with a number of museums here describing the past of this listed ensemble. At the same time, HafenCity is becoming increasingly popular with art dealers for galleries.
ELBPHILHARMONIE CONCERT HALL
It is hard to overlook HafenCity’s inter-national landmark, the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall. Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron are now erecting a spec-tacular concert venue atop mighty Kai-
speicher A, a cocoa warehouse built between 1963 and 1966 to plans by archi-tect Werner Kallmorgen. Its cubic shape and façades remain intact beneath a unique architectonic hybrid housing the concert hall, a hotel with 250 rooms, 45 apartments and a garage offering park-ing for around 500 cars.
The former warehouse building is crowned by an undulating, curved glass structure, up to 110 m high, blending ele-ments of historic port architecture and contemporary building design, port tradi-tion and the district’s new identity. Sand-wiched between the original building and the new wave-crested crown, a public plaza at a height of 37 m offers fantastic views of the harbor, HafenCity, the River Elbe and rest of the city. It is the interface both between the original and new parts of the building, and the public open space and the other uses.
The warehouse shell will be used for car parking, as well as backstage areas and space for musical education. The new glass superstructure will contain two auditoria holding audiences of 2,150 and
550 respectively. The unveiling of the first designs by architects Herzog & de Meuron in 2003 caused an international sensa-tion; yet their plans could only be realized through the unequalled commitment of Hamburg citizens, more than 7,500 of whom promised support and endow-ments for the construction of the concert hall. However, the city’s contribution will be considerable due to the dramatically increased cost of the building to EUR 789 million. The Elbphilharmonie is to be offi-cially opened on January 11, 2017, although the public plaza should be accessible from November 2016.

MUSEUM BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT
The International Maritime Museum Hamburg opened its doors back in the summer of 2008. It took up residence in Kaispeicher B, a warehouse dating from 1879 (architects: Wilhelm Emil Meerwein, Bernhard Hanssen); it is actually the old-est warehouse in HafenCity and the Spei-cherstadt.
From the summer of 2005, architect Mir-jana Markovic extensively renovated the listed warehouse at Elbtorquartier, con-verting it into a museum but leaving its characteristic architecture intact. The ten floors or “decks” of the museum, covering 11,500 sqm, house an exhibition based on the Peter Tamm private maritime collec-tion. Kaispeicher B and the adjacent “Hei-nemannspeicher” building also accommo-date the Institute of Shipping and Marine History and a library, including an archive.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Western HafenCity has become an urban place, home to 2,000 people. Despite their very different backgrounds and lifestyles, neighborly networking is already advanced
Living in the Center: HafenCity as a Place of Neighborly Coexistence
Child-friendly HafenCity: in addition to the infrastructure, families also appreciate the chance to combine career and children flexibly. Families with small
children are therefore particularly strongly represented
The variety of housing in HafenCity is already quite exceptional. It includes
a small-scale mix of apartments to rent or to buy in different price brackets, although the spectrum ranges from pub-licly subsidized rental housing through to the luxury segment and also takes in the special requirements of groups such as musicians, designers, the physically dis-abled or seniors. Building cooperatives and joint building ventures have played a special role in the development of liv-ing in HafenCity, catering for a mid-price segment of the newbuild market and
often acting as an important catalyst in formation of a neighborly culture. In addition, because of sharp rises in the cost of rental and owned homes in Hamburg’s inner districts, 20 percent of residential building plots in HafenCity have been put out to tender for subsi-dized homes since 2010 – since 2011 the proportion has risen to one third. At the same time a modified concept bidding procedure was introduced in HafenCity, in which 70 percent accounts for the con-cept and 30 percent for the offer price for the plot. This will enhance the diversity of
the range of housing offered even more, making way for rentals in the subsidized sector of EUR 6.20/sqm (housing subsidy scheme 1) and EUR 8.30/sqm (second tier subsidy) in the lower price segment.
The spectrum of living concepts, price levels and architectural styles available attracts many people to live in Hafen-City. Some households are prepared to shoulder higher direct costs, since hav-ing workplaces, daily requirements, schools and leisure facilities on the door-step cuts mobility costs and makes for a better work-life balance in terms of time.
FAMILY FRIENDLY HOUSING
What families particularly appreciate about HafenCity is the opportunity to be able to combine family and job easily and flexibly. Here the attraction is not just the availability of jobs, but also the high-quality child care on offer since the Katharinen primary school and neigh-boring kindergarten opened in 2009. It is possible to detect a marked trend in the makeup of residents: the proportion of households with children registered in HafenCity continues to grow. It is cur-rently 15.5 percent which means that HafenCity has overtaken other popular inner-city districts such as Eimsbüttel (12.4 percent), Winterhude (11.9) or Neustadt (11).
The influence of subsidized housing construction in HafenCity compared with more mature residential areas of the inner city will enhance this family orientation in coming years. To continue to meet the needs of the many children and teenagers, a gymnasium secondary school to the east of Lohsepark and another primary school in Baakenhafen neighborhood (opening 2018) will be added in the next few years in addition to four more kindergartens. The three planned play-cum-community houses in Grasbrookpark, Lohsepark and Baaken-hafen also play an important role, as will the planned KinderKulturHaus children’s arts center on Strandkai.
FAMILIES, RETIREES AND YOUNG COUPLES
In addition to young families, another very prevalent group found in HafenCity is of couples aged over 50. Often they have taken the chance to reorient their lives after their children have moved out and have targeted HafenCity as the place to live. In the desire to open a new (resi-dential) chapter in their lives, they have chosen a place to live which offers cul-tural events, a socially alive environment and proximity to neighbors including young, career-driven couples and single people. Residents are also particularly attracted to HafenCity by its emotionally positive waterfront situation, individual home types, and good transport infra-structure.
At 46.5 percent, the quota of one- person households is lower than the Hamburg average of 54.3 percent and significantly below the average in inner-city districts, where it is usually already more than 60 percent.
ENCOURAGING INITIATIVE AND DIALOG
Whether for families, sports cracks or the culturally inclined, a stimulating social community has already developed in HafenCity. Many residents are active in the community, organizing the digi-tal residents’ forum hafencity-leben.de, for instance, or the HafenCity-Zeitung, a paper started by one of the locals on
his own initiative (www.hafencity-news.de). In addition there are regular local get-togethers, special occasions such as a flea market or neighborhood parties. While Störtebeker SV sports club offers a wide range of sports, Spielhaus Hafen City e.V. looks after the interests of HafenCity’s youngest residents;members of the busi-ness seniors group Wirtschafts-Senio-ren-Beraten – Alt hilft Jung e.V. offer the benefits of their years of experience free to fledgling entrepreneurs.
HafenCity Hamburg GmbH actively nur-tures identification with the new district supporting initiatives and regularly seek-ing dialog with residents, whether through direct contact or through regular information and discussion events, for example.
It sees its responsibility not only as establishing a diverse mix of uses and social milieus, but making sure that even where friction arises, equilibrium is maintained. Proactive impulses include promoting social neighborliness and offering advice during the process. One such project was the first playground developed in conjunction with parents, while school pupils contributed ideas to the planning of Grasbrookpark and Lohsepark. In a future workshop, a school committee at Katharinenschule primary tried to pinpoint the actual needs of chil-dren and adolescents in a public urban place. Pre-school and primary school kids in grades 1 to 3 took part in the Baaken-hafen participation camp in 2015, giving them a say in the design of open spaces in HafenCity.
The Netzwerk HafenCity association has been a force in sharing responsibility for HafenCity’s development since 2009, involving itself in finding cooperative solutions to everyday issues for all Hafen-City residents. In addition, it initiates events and festivities, increasingly also in cooperation with surrounding districts, thus making a real contribution to neigh-borly coexistence – in HafenCity and beyond. In May 2013 a business commu-nity of interest (IGG) came into existence under the aegis of the network. It aims to bring all business operators in HafenCity into an efficient network to promote communication between them which will further strengthen the location.

Sandtorpark, with its mounds, trees and grassy play area, also acts as an integrative urban planning element: the same materials and paving decoration used
for the Magellan Terraces continue on the open areas around the park
them down into smaller sections, so that they appear more sheltered, green and soft. Promenades along the quays link these varied urban spaces.
Vasco da Gama Plaza, also alongside the promenade, is a popular meeting place with outside eating areas and space for basketball. South of the Marco Polo Ter-races, a stroll leads to the Elbterrassen steps, after passing through Grosser Grasbrook and the publicly accessible mall in Unilever House.
SPACIOUS GREEN SPACES AND PLAY AREAS
In the west, Sandtorpark, covering around 6,000 sqm, with its mounds, trees and a grassy play area designed for a variety of uses, is the urban planning element unifying the materials and ground surface design used for the Magellan Terraces with those around the open space surrounding the park. The green area, opened in April 2011, is also used by neighboring Katharinen school. In summer 2013 Grasbrookpark, the inter-face to Strandkai neighborhood, was inaugurated. With a play ship as its cen-
terpiece, this large leafy play park, for which primary school pupils were involved in designing the play and recre-ational facilities for young and old, is a meeting place popular well beyond HafenCity limits.

Squares, promenades and parks are not just urban planning devices in HafenCity, but individual elements putting their stamp on the cityscape
PUBLIC URBAN SPACES
HafenCity’s exciting, new urban spaces on and beside the water enrich Hamburg. Squares, promenades and parks are no mere urban development tools but distinctive elements of the cityscape in their own right
The City of Plazas, Parks and Promenades
The significance of urban open space for HafenCity is clear from just a few
key figures: 25 percent of its land area – as much as 28 ha – will be public open space. All open spaces, whether parks or promenades, are on the waterside, and 10.5 km of shoreline will be made. Water surfaces in harbor basins and the River Elbe are all “islands of fresh air”, opening up views. In addition to the public open spaces, which are closely interlocked and well connected to one another, publicly accessible private open spaces account for a further 13 percent. A mere 7 percent of all open space is inaccessible to the public. Open space therefore accounts
for 45 percent of all of HafenCity – while 31 percent of it is built and 24 percent is devoted to traffic.
MEDITERRANEAN AIRINESS WITH AUSTERE PORT INFLUENCES
Architectural firm EMBT Arquitectes Associats designed most of the largely completed urban spaces in the western section of HafenCity, an elaborate and esthetic interplay between water and land; severe forms typical of a port con-trast with airier Mediterranean influ-ences. Two large terraced squares were

created at the heads of the Sandtorhafen and Grasbrookhafen harbor basins. The Magellan Terraces (5,600 sqm), complet-ed in 2005, are stepped down to the water on several levels. With its rather hard surfaces, this plaza resembling an amphi theater has an urban character with multiple functions.
From here the gaze sweeps across to the Traditional Ship Harbor in Sandtorhafen, opened in 2008; 5,800 sqm of floating pontoons rise and fall with the tide, pro-viding permanent moorings for up to 30 historic watercraft. The Marco Polo Ter-races (7,800 sqm) opened in 2007. Grass islands, wooden decks and trees break

THE LEAFYEAST OF HAFENCITY
Beside the Elbe the park joins up with a 30 m wide promenade, leading along the river to Entenwerder, integrating the Elbe cycle route and crossing the new neighborhoods of Baakenhafen and Elb-brücken in the process. The open spaces in Baakenhafen, in which the focus is on homes for families with children and a multitude of integrated sport and rec-reational uses, were planned by Atelier Loidl (Berlin). One of the convincing aspects of their concept was Baaken-park in the center of the harbor basin, where construction began in fall 2014 – a footbridge will link the two parts of the neighborhood, as developed in the reworked Masterplan. The 1.6 ha prom-ontory will not only represent the topo-graphical center of eastern HafenCity, it is also an out of the ordinary infra-structure project. A total 350,000 cubic meters of sand from the Norderelbe riv-er have been shipped systematically to HafenCity to form the Baakenpark prom-ontory, scheduled to be ready 2017. Fol-lowing successful completion of infilling in summer 2015, work has now begun on landscaping the green open spaces.
Development of the neighborhood started with a flourish in June 2013, when Baakenhafen bridge, the winner of many awards, was lifted into place. The bridge, designed by the London firm of Wilkinson Eyre Architects and Berlin’s

granite slabs intersected by paving stones recycled from old quays for the prome-nade on Osakaallee, Dar es Salaam square and the forecourt of the International Maritime Museum.
With the advent of the new area around Magdeburger Hafen, HafenCity and the existing city center are increasingly grow-ing together. The Inner Alster is only 900 m away and thus just a few minutes’ walk from Magdeburger Hafen, intercon-nected by the central “Domplatz axis”. Inside HafenCity, this links Überseequar-tier, Elbtorquartier and Brooktorquartier, which are connected, for instance via Busanbrücke bridge, opened at the end of 2010. Along Osakaallee, an embankment promenade up to 12 m wide borders the western side of Magdeburger Hafen. Ramps, steps and clumps of green shrubs lead from road level onto the historic quay level. The difference in elevation integrates the site for the Osaka 9 sus-tainability pavilion; the ecological aspects of HafenCity have been exhibited here since 2011.
At the head of Magdeburger Hafen is the most important entrance to central HafenCity, Dar es Salaam square, an
attractive place that faces south to the harbor basin, with sweeping views to the Elbe. The León-Brücke bridge links the square with Brooktor promenade, opened 2010 and leading alongside the DNV Ger-manischer Lloyd building ensemble to Ericusspitze and the Spiegel building. A special design feature here is the 30 m stone “sofa”. WES & Partner Landschafts-architekten (Hamburg) were responsible for most of the design of this open space. The Ericus promenade, the continuation of Brooktor promenade, ready since fall 2011, is an invitation to change levels.
On the eastern side of Magdeburger Hafen, the promenade has led along the new Elbe Arcades on two levels since fall 2013 – on the water and on the flood-pro-tected “warft” level. It continues along the harbor basin down to the new HafenCity University building. This now links the square in front of Kaispeicher B with the open spaces at HCU since, as from August 2014, the pier has continued southwards under Magdeburger bridge through to Lohsepark and Baakenhafen basin, offering a through route without crossing any roads.
LOHSEPARK IN THE CENTER
Four-hectare Lohsepark, for which Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten AG (Zurich) designed the open space concept, based on the principles of the urban develop-ment Masterplan, is the largest contigu-ous park in HafenCity, covering 4.4 ha; it will incorporate a variety of urban, social and ecological functions. Generous sweeps of grass broken up by loosely winding pathways, seating areas and play opportunities will attract residents both young and old in future, as well as visitors. On the long sides of the park, terraces open out to the street, providing an unob-structed transition between the green area and its urban surroundings, inter-linking built structures and open space. Although the park has made a green impression since 2013, many areas in the central section were opened to the public in time for the HSH Nordbank Run in HafenCity in 2015. This included play areas for children, a stone grotto, as well as a streetball pitch. By summer 2016, the whole park will be ready to be handed over to the public.
PUBLIC URBAN SPACES
Many new routes and places to go close to the waterside are particularly attractive to walkers and
cyclists – as here at Magdeburger Hafen
In addition to public open spaces, many private areas in HafenCity are also acces-sible to all residents, local employees and visitors. Public and private land is closely interlocked; many spaces in private ownership are subject to general rights of way or, as in Überseequartier, compa-rable rights to public thoroughfares. This ensures, for instance, that private areas between buildings remain passable to pedestrians and sometimes cyclists – and that they have a dense network of paths and well-connected leisure areas at their disposal.
Ingenieurbüro Happold, gives cyclists plenty of space on both sides of the car-riageway on their way to and from southern Baakenhafen.
LAST URBAN PLANNING DESIGN COMPETITION
Further to the east, Elbbrücken neigh-borhood is shifting more sharply into development focus. In fall 2015, the last urban planning competition for HafenCity came to a successful conclusion, tying up the final loose ends of urban planning for the whole of HafenCity.

HAFENCITY PROJECTS | ESSENTIALS 5958
HafenCity is accessible through a complex and efficient
transport system. Public transport services play the main
role. The new U4 subway line connecting with
the rapid transit service is the central transport artery,
complemented by a dense network of bus services
FLOOD PROTECTION HAS PRIORITY
Protection against flooding was a cru-cial precondition for the development of HafenCity. Surrounding it with a dike was ruled out, since it would have had to be in place around the whole 127 ha land area of the new district before realization of the first buildings. A rapid start to develop-ment would not have been possible; and, as well as generating huge upfront costs, the urban spatial relationship to water so characteristic of HafenCity would have been prevented.
Instead, the new buildings and roads are built on plinths or “warfts” which are formed at a height of 8–9 m above sea level, thus protecting against flooding. Their interiors also offer space for flood-protected underground garages. Prom-enades and many squares, on the other hand, remain at the area’s previous level of 4.5–5.5 m above sea level, which maintains the close relationship to water and cre-
ates high quality, usable public spaces. All roads are built at a minimum of 7.5 or 8.3 m above sea level, protected against floods. New bridges are built in flood-protected form, or old ones upgraded and lifted. One exception to the rule of raising road levels is the street running between HafenCity and the historic Speicherstadt. Elevation of the whole width of Am Sandtorkai/Brooktorkai would have been extremely difficult and would have made no sense due to the proximity of the Speicherstadt.
In the rare and brief occurrence of a storm surge in combination with high water, new flood-safe access routes to HafenCity have been created, such as the Kibbelstegbrücke bridges: under normal conditions they function as an attractive route for pedestrians and cyclists; in flood conditions they provide safe access for fire and rescue services.
The second flood-secure traffic axis to the dike-bound city center is via Ober-baumbrücke bridge and Brooktorkai, Shanghaiallee and Überseeallee roads.
These routes are also open to private vehicles in case of flooding. Additional flood-secure links will be formed via the bridges Grossmarktbrücke and Freihafen-brücke, both of which connect with Vers-mannstrasse.
NEW ROADS AND BRIDGES
An additional challenge is the ground itself in the new city district. HafenCity’s location on the Elbe marshes is subject to the alluvial influence of the Elbe, which means that the upper layers of soil are made up mostly of clay and glacial sedi-ment. As so-called cohesive layers, they are highly water absorbent, which means they cannot bear heavy weight. Sand, which is load-bearing, begins further down. This is why all buildings in HafenCity are built on piles. These are usually driven around 20 m deep into the earth, which transfers the weight to the loadbearing sand layers.
For road building, preloading is used to raise the level temporarily to 10 m: the
INFRASTRUCTURE
Proximity to water, ground conditions and flood risks present particular challenges
A new Infrastructure as the Basis for Urban Development
rate protection measures are required: HafenCity hugs the Elbe for more than 3.1 km and has a total waterfront of over 10.5 km, including the harbor basins.
In the past, the HafenCity area was laid out as an industrial and port district. The extension of the modern port facilities that began in 1862 gave this area the typical appearance which largely remains today, with harbor basins and docks con-stituting HafenCity’s character.
In many places, Am Sandtorkai/Dal-mannkai, for instance, the historic quay structure could be partially conserved and carefully restored. New quay walls were built in sections where the old sub-stance was too damaged or previously did not exist.
HafenCity is characterized by infrastruc-tural features specific to the site: the
area is a low-lying island in the River Elbe, indented by several harbor basins. The prerequisites for its urban use are there-fore new internal and external connec-tions and cross-links as well as effective flood protection.
A particular challenge is the east-west orientation of the historic warehouses in the Speicherstadt, forming a barrier between HafenCity and the City like the waterways extending east-west in paral-lel and broad Willy Brandt Strasse. These factors meant, for instance, that efficient public transport connections could only work well underground via subway.
Furthermore, the HafenCity site is situ-ated outside Hamburg’s dike line on low-lying land not protected from flooding at 4–5.5 m above sea level. Because of its location in the Elbe, separate and elabo-

and the surfaces of promenades have been made with an eye to walking and rolling quality, using cut (and therefore smooth) cobblestones.
An essential requirement for sustain-able development in HafenCity, with its dense mix of uses and high number of visitors, is an efficient public transport system. The start of U4 subway ser-vices – the line was not foreseen in the original Masterplan – to Überseequartier station in December 2012, therefore, rep-resented a major new link in the public transport chain. Since then regular ser-vices have connected HafenCity directly to Jungfernstieg and the central station. In August 2013, services to the HafenCity University station followed. Two months earlier the ground-breaking ceremony for the extension of the U4 through to the Elbe bridges took place. Construc-tion is forging ahead: in summer 2015, preliminary construction of the storage sidings and reversing facility in Baa-kenhafen quarter was completed. The last 1.3 km section runs from HafenCity University station to the new station at Elbbrücken. From 2018 it will link the new neighborhoods with their approximately 3,000 homes and some 20,000 jobs.
SUBWAY, FERRIES AND BUSES
In the course of construction of the extension a new overground subway sta-tion has been going up at Elbbrücken since April designed by the Hamburg office of Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp). The objective is not only to link up with the rapid transit S-Bahn at a new S-Bahn sta-tion; a new stretch of the U4 subway is to be built southwards to Wilhelmsburg/Kirchdorf Süd.
There is also a dense network of bus stops in HafenCity: the MetroBus 6 serves the Auf dem Sande stop in the Speicher-stadt; the new 111 line, skirting the port and known as “Hamburg’s cheapest city tour”, initially runs from Fischereihafen, the fishing port, through HafenCity to Baakenhafen. The first ferry pier has also been installed near the Elbphilharmonie. Two more are to follow: at HafenCity Uni-versity and the Elbbrücken. In addition there are various jetties for port barges, for instance in Magdeburger Hafen and in Baakenhafen harbor.
Planning and realization of these com-plex infrastructural measures – except on private land – is the responsibility of the
developer, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, owned by the City of Hamburg. Financing is covered exclusively by sales of land in the planning zone. However, finance for the new U4 subway line is an exception. It is being planned and realized by Ham-burger Hochbahn AG, and financed out of budgetary funds of the Free and Han-seatic City of Hamburg as well as federal subsidies. The cost of the extension of the subway, however, will be carried by Ham-burg’s special fund under public law hold-ing “city and port” assets, while the cost of external access to HafenCity, the planned reconstruction of Deichtorplatz, as well as bridges to be built between HafenCity and other city neighborhoods, is also financed out of Hamburg’s budget.
weight of heaped up sand presses any water out of the cohesive layers of ground below, creating a stable foundation suit-able for road-building. When this process is finished, the sand preload is removed down to the future level of the road, so that piping and conduit can be laid and roads built.
Roads in HafenCity are planned in at an early stage but the realization of road surfacing, pavements, cycle lanes, tree-planting or parking bays only takes place gradually and in close coordination with construction firms. This is why almost all roads initially get temporary surfac-es. After completion of the surrounding buildings, the final surface is then laid and finished, together with ancillary surfaces, cycle paths/strips and tree planting.

east-west, serves as western HafenCity’s central access road link northwards. From it, traffic fans out along to the south; pri-marily via Shanghaiallee and Osakaallee. Then it continues across Kornhausbrücke bridge along an extension of the so-called “Domplatz axis” thruway. On a boulevard running from Überseeboulevard across Kornhausbrücke and Domplatz, Jungfern-stieg is just ten minutes’ walk away.
NEW BRIDGES OVER BAAKENHAFEN
The new bridge over Baakenhafen har-bor links the northern part of the neigh-borhood of Baakenhafen with its south-ern part. Much admired for its range of functions, the bridge has been showered with praise and prizes – including the 2014 Balthasar Neumann Prize, the German Steel Construction Prize, the renowned British RIBA award and the title “Structure of the Year” from the Hamburg architects and engineers association (AIV). The 170 m Baakenhafen bridge, opened in June 2013,
marked another important milestone in the rapid development of eastern Hafen-City in which work on the infrastructural basis continues apace and construction of the first building began in summer 2015. In summer 2013 a two-lane traffic diver-sion was put in place during simultaneous work on the neighborhood’s most crucial traffic connections, the new Versmanns-trasse and the extension of the U4 sub-way. The temporary diversion takes traffic across Baakenhafen bridge along the Elbe embankment to the Elbe bridges, Elbbrü-cken. In 2017 the southern carriageway of new Versmannstrasse will be ready for use. Then traffic can be redirected and the Elbe embankment newly landscaped as a leafy promenade. A number of cycle and footpaths will be laid out; a bridge over the Baakenpark peninsula for pedestrians and cyclists will connect the north and south of eastern HafenCity from 2017.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TRANSPORT
HafenCity’s central situation and good accessibility are increasingly an invitation to leave the car behind – particularly as HafenCity, with its short distances, is ide-al for cycling and walking with its branch-ing, unusually dense network of paths. The majority of cycle and footpaths are isolated from motorized traffic, running along promenades, piers and squares, often along the waterside. Cycle lanes are standard on streets with heavier traffic. People with limited mobility or sight can move about HafenCity easily.
Despite differences in height, a mass of measures make open spaces virtually barrier-free. The most important walk-ing and driving routes are equipped with wheelchair-accessible ramps; acoustic signals can be operated at traffic lights,
