The Urban Village was nominated for the imAward 2026 in the Management and Transformation category. We eagerly awaited the announcement of the nominees and are now all the more proud of this recognition.

We are delighted to announce that Lukas Woltery and Jochen Wismann have been appointed as partners.

Are you familiar with the 3-30-300 rule? Yes, that's right. It actually originates from an urban planning concept, according to which every person in the city should have access to sufficient nature (feel free to google it). However, the consulting and investment management company Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) has used the rule to illustrate potential for optimization in office use.

The mayor arrived in a fire truck: just eight months after the foundation stone was laid in April, the "Arbeitswelten am Prager Ring" in Aachen celebrated its topping-out ceremony. The sustainable new office building by Landmarken AG comprises almost 9,000 square meters of office and communication space. The main tenant is the global corporation Ericsson, which is moving its Eurolab to Aachen. Landmarken is in talks with other prospective tenants. Construction work is proceeding according to plan, so that completion is expected on schedule at the end of 2026.

Landmarken AG has submitted the building application for its "Neue Mitte York" project in the Gremmendorf district center in Münster. The project developer will realize a Mixed-Use-Ensemble here with retail, residential, and commercial space.

As a showcase project for successful building transformation, the New Gesundheitshaus in Dortmund is also becoming an international role model. The Landmarken project was nominated for the "ULI Europe Award for Excellence" by an international jury. Projects from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa were considered for the award. As announced by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) in October, the Neue Gesundheitshaus is the only German candidate on the shortlist.

Two renowned German real estate companies have joined forces to offer service development throughout Germany as an alliance of leading project developers. Landmarken and ehret+klein have jointly founded German Development Partner GmbH (GDP) for this purpose. The company is based in Frankfurt. The new company aims to offer both portfolio holders and international investors a "one-stop service" for the whole of Germany.

An impressive topping-out wreath for a pioneering project: the shell of Germany's first residential high-rise building to be constructed according to the cradle-to-cradle principle is almost complete. The mood was correspondingly cheerful on Monday as the topping-out ceremony for "Moringa Hamburg HafenCity" was celebrated. With its unique combination of resource-efficient construction and affordable living, this Landmarken project is considered groundbreaking for the entire construction and real estate industry. In addition to around 220 rental units, the complex will offer communal areas, a daycare center, and a restaurant area upon its completion in 2026.

Our meeting rooms at AUGUSTA 33 now bear the seal of quality from the Hotel & Location Partner Program of the Professional Association for Training, Consulting, and Coaching.

Here you can see how much you can change with a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, and a few plants. Take a look—it's worth it!

Our subsidiary StadtParken has successfully introduced a new license plate recognition system in collaboration with ARIVO.

Following the departure of LBBW, a new, open boulevard is now being created on the ground floor of the old building.
The redesign has begun: space is being created for offerings that will bring you real added value in your everyday life.

Landmarken is building a complex with 209 apartments, a co-working space, and three retail units on Kölner Straße in Düsseldorf. The foundation stone for the "Leben am Sonnenpark" project was laid on September 8. Construction is progressing well: the floor slab is now being laid on top of the underground car park and the ground floor is being built at the rear. The construction work is being carried out by August Prien. Completion is scheduled for mid-2027.

Colorful, friendly, imaginative, and with a great deal of love for the building and its people: that's the team at The Urban Village. "Where offices come alive" is the slogan of our sister company, and it is not only lived and breathed, but also taken to the next level. With the takeover of C-WERK in Aachen, the team is now also revitalizing flexible spaces for warehousing and urban production.

In the Aachen region, almost 1,000 new technology companies have been established in the past five years alone. This is according to a study by the Aachen Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). The spectrum ranges from IT and mechanical engineering to medical technology. In the IHK area, this means an increase of almost 10,000 jobs in these sectors. A total of around 46,000 people are employed in technology companies—and the trend is rising sharply.

Here, business and research go hand in hand: the latest working environment on the RWTH Aachen Campus Melaten is complete and ready for innovative tenants. SmartLog 3 is the third construction phase of the Smart Logistics cluster and the smartest building in the city. Flexible rental space (office, conference, workshop, catering) is still available.

Lise GmbH, a provider of customized software development and IT consulting services, has already signed its second lease agreement with Landmarken. Following the kite office complex in Cologne-Butzweilerhof, it will also move into space in our neighboring KiteLoft at the end of the year. We spoke with lise CEO Daniel Schwarz.

Less than a year and a half after the foundation stone was laid in spring, we were able to hand over the beautiful rental space in AlphaSpace Aachen to its users together with general contractor Goldbeck. After KiteLoft Cologne and BrainFactory Bochum, this is Landmarken's third Spirit Office building to go into operation and, at the same time, an important building block in the development of the Quartier Nord district between Krefelder Strasse and Gut-Damme-Strasse. The 10,000 m² modular building with six floors was completed on schedule and is fully let.

For the fourth time in a row, the Landmarken family of companies has received the "Best Employer in North Rhine-Westphalia" seal of approval from Great Place to Work. This award not only confirms our ongoing commitment to an excellent workplace culture, but also the trust and satisfaction of our employees, which we are very pleased about.

Brand Factory GmbH, a fulfillment service provider and expert in logistics, brand shops, and website development, is the first tenant at C-WERK.
