After acquiring the two plots of land with a total size of approx. 30,000 sqm in 2020 and 2021, this is now the starting signal for the implementation of the projects. Both developments are located almost next to each other in the heart of Cologne-Ehrenfeld on Widdersdorfer Straße. This means they are located in the midst of an enormously dynamic environment with numerous new buildings that are being constructed and planned for the coming years. For example, the Pandion project PAN is located in the immediate vicinity. We aim to work closely with these other projects to ensure that the concepts are integrated as efficiently as possible and to provide maximum accessibility for all parties involved.
With THE WID ONE and TWO, we are clearly pursuing the goal of preserving Ehrenfeld's commercial character and cultural charm while at the same time making it fit for the future. We are very pleased to be able to develop an urban meeting place for the most diverse areas of commercial use in the center of western Cologne. Of course, we will also plan space for training and educational facilities as well as for cultural uses. The aim is to have a truly sustainable impact in all areas of non-residential real estate in Cologne. It goes without saying that we have the highest sustainability standards for both projects and will lead by example.
The next step is to develop the architectural concepts for both projects. We are considering blending the architecture of the traditional industrial district of Ehrenfeld with designs for a new, modern working environment. Initial ideas are already promising, and we look forward to revealing more details soon!
