Micro-apartment complex Harburger Ring 6

New housing in the centre of Hamburg-Harburg

From shopping centre to residential and commercial hub

The site was previously home to a shopping centre that had been in use for many years. As part of the redevelopment, a building complex comprising residential, catering and retail spaces was created. In line with Harburg’s urban development plans, new residential space was created on the site in the immediate vicinity of the town centre.

Living, working and city life in one location

With a gross floor area of around 20,570 m², the new development combines a variety of uses under one roof. On the ground floor, around 2,500 m² of space has been created for restaurants and retail outlets. On the upper floors, 203 furnished micro-flats as well as 31 rental flats have been built.

The building complex is complemented by an underground car park with 30 parking spaces and the central building services in the basement. Standing up to twelve storeys high, the building dominates the Harburger Ring site. Varying building heights divide the structure into several units. The red brick façades facing the street incorporate design elements that characterise the townscape in many parts of Harburg.

Right in the heart of city centre life

The construction site was situated in a densely used inner-city environment. In addition to a heavily trafficked thoroughfare, the site was directly adjacent to shops, service providers and public footpaths. A bespoke logistics concept was developed for the construction work to coordinate site operations, deliveries and the use of the adjacent traffic areas.

Different types of accommodation under one roof

The flats range from compact micro-flats to larger flats with several rooms. Most units have a balcony or a terrace. In addition, communal areas were created on the roof, featuring relaxation areas, play areas and raised beds.

Part of the Harburg town centre regeneration

The new development represents a further building block in the regeneration of Hamburg-Harburg’s town centre. The building complex combines residential, retail and catering uses on an inner-city site and complements the existing uses in the vicinity of the railway station, town hall and pedestrian zone.
