WILHELMSBURG care facility, Hamburg

The WILHELMSBURG care facility replaces five individual buildings on the site at Hermann-Westphal-Straße 9 as part of the ‘Future Care Initiative’. It is operated by HSI Hamburger Senioren Immobilien GmbH. The ‘Haus LINDE’ was built at the same time on the north-west side of the property. PORR Hochbau Region Nord realised the construction project as general contractor.

With a total gross floor area of approx. 19,795 m² and a gross internal area of approx. 68,453 m³, the two new buildings comprise 312 care rooms, 35 of which are wheelchair accessible and 25 of which are for people in a persistent vegetative state. Construction began in January 2022. The shell of the four-floor building took just under five months to complete, with the last floor concreted on 18 August 2023. In September 2023, the installation of the windows and clinker brick facade began. Completion was at the end of May 2024. The general planning was undertaken by PORR sister pde Integrale Planung. The construction pits and the necessary pile foundations were built by PORR Spezialtiefbau GmbH.

Building on budget: a matter of trust  

In addition to the attractive calculation, the decisive factor for the award was the trust in the reliability of PORR. ‘We are very proud of our claim to keep our promises under all circumstances,’ explains Björn Motzkus, technical branch manager of PORR Hochbau Region Nord, adding: ‘The customer knows that they can rely on us in terms of cost-effectiveness, scheduling and quality.’
