Aachen’s Nord district continues to evolve: With the arrival of the health insurance provider BIG direkt gesund in mid-2027, modern office and collaborative spaces will be created on the first floor—spanning approximately 2,000 square meters—of the former Trösser furniture store. Following the closure of the furniture store in August 2025, the building will be transformed into a vibrant hub for work and shopping—tenants have already been secured for the new retail spaces on the ground floor as well.

The Mannheim District Court is moving into the existing Augusta 33 complex on Mannheim's Augustaanlage for at least five years. To this end, the state of Baden-Württemberg, represented by the Landesbetrieb Vermögen und Bau BW (State Property and Construction Agency), has leased around 5,750 square meters on the ground floor and on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th floors of the Landmarken property.

The Landmarken Group is developing EPIX Spaces, a new real estate product that sees sport, leisure, health, and community as integral parts of modern urban development. Specific locations have already been identified in Frankfurt, Berlin, and the Ruhrgebiet that are to be developed into EPIX Spaces.

Landmarken AG has sold the new data center of the North Rhine-Westphalia State Finance Administration (RZF). The buyer is the state of North Rhine-Westphalia itself, which is thus securing important infrastructure. Originally, the state had signed a 20-year lease with an option to extend. The new building, with around 37,000 square meters of space plus a parking garage, is almost complete after only around two and a half years of construction. The three-part complex will be handed over to the user in May.

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

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 ceremony for a groundbreaking project: The structural work on Germany’s first residential high-rise built according to the Cradle to Cradle principle is nearly complete. In keeping with the occasion, a topping-out ceremony was held on Monday for the “Moringa Hamburg HafenCity.” With its unique combination of resource-efficient construction and affordable housing, this Landmarken project is considered a trailblazer for the entire construction and real estate industry. In addition to approximately 220 rental units, the complex will offer communal areas, a daycare center, and a dining area upon its completion in 2026.

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.

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.
