We would like to thank our guests from the real estate industry and the press, as well as our joint venture partner Aam2core, who made our launch a very special occasion. We would also like to express our particular gratitude to our guest speaker Horst von Buttlar, who emphasized the importance of immediate, courageous and comprehensive action in the fight against climate change.
We fully identify with his clear appeal and share the opinion: We have no time to hesitate! Therefore, TESTA comes at the right time!
TESTA will be built on the site between BER and the lively southeast of Berlin and is our vision for sustainable and humane construction and work. The consistently sustainable idea is evident in the choice of materials, state-of-the-art building technology, design components and biodiverse green spaces. The ensemble, with a surface area of 45,700 m² consisting of three office buildings and a hotel complex, is being built around a green square with its own gastronomy, local amenities and fitness studio. Spacious, smart office spaces in a stimulating and relaxed environment of forest and heath create a unique working environment.
TESTA (Latin for brick)
is the eponym and symbol of our vision.
The façade is made from over a million recycled bricks. From the smallest unit, the individual brick, to air conditioning, water management and the integration of electric mobility, TESTA sets standards and shows what contemporary architecture can achieve. The sustainable concept is continued by the use of modern heat pumps, photovoltaic surfaces, a wasted water heat recovery system and numerous solar facade components, which makes it possible to completely dispense with fossil fuels. Thanks to these and numerous other energy-related measures, TESTA meets the highest KFW 40 standard today, is to be certified DGNB and LEED Platinum and fully meets the requirements of the EU taxonomy (according to Article 9). Particularly in times of sharply rising energy prices, tenants in TESTA save significantly on ancillary costs because around 60% of the heating and cooling supply can be covered by self-generated energy. This makes TESTA one of the greenest developments of its kind in Germany.
The holistic concept of TESTA continues in the interior: raw, robust surfaces and versatile spaces that can be adapted to the requirements of an individualized working environment are the basis for long-lasting attractiveness and durability. The spaces will utilize a variety of smart and efficient solutions designed to minimize the environmental footprint and maximize the well-being of the users.
