The Berlin-based HD Group is expanding its portfolio and developing a seven-story residential and commercial building in a prime location in downtown Bremen. The property, spanning over 1,200 square meters, will feature a forward-thinking usage concept comprising micro-living, co-working, and retail spaces. The gross floor area is projected to be approximately 7,679 square meters, with planned rental space of around 6,038 square meters. The proposed usage concept aims to maximize floor space utilization, providing ideal conditions for efficient and optimal floor plans.
The HD Group plans to demolish the existing structure for the project, replacing it with a new building featuring six full floors and an additional penthouse level.
Situated in the highly-trafficked Obernstraße 45-47, in the heart of the city center, the project boasts high visibility and excellent accessibility.
Bremen is a sought-after office location, and the housing situation is tense, with an estimated demand for approximately 36,000 residential units by 2030. In response, the HD Group is taking a pioneering role by developing a mixed-use project in the city center that addresses these pressing needs.
Herbert Dzial, Managing Director of the HD Group, emphasizes the company’s commitment to intelligent and sustainable conversions. “Here in Bremen, we align with the city’s goals and deliver urgently needed inner-city residential, commercial, and office spaces at this central location. I am confident that this high-street mixed-use development will establish itself as a sustainable asset class.”
With a population of 565,000, Bremen is the eleventh largest city in Germany and a key industrial hub, home to 1,400 companies and 74,000 employees. Renowned companies such as BLG Logistic Group, Nordsee GmbH, and Daimler AG operate large facilities in the area. Additionally, Bremen boasts a strong academic presence with eight local universities and over 35,000 students. The retail sector in Bremen, with a turnover of €3.8 billion, benefits significantly from the city’s growing tourism industry, which saw 2.0 million overnight stays.
