HAMBURG | Hafencity Development News

[LuckyLuke]

The resolution of the citizens council in August 1997 on the development of the HafenCity, set the initial impetus for the century project. Within a time-frame of 25 years, Hamburg will now realize an urban quarter with maritime ambience which will integrate housing, leisure, tourism, trade and services. Approximately 5,500 apartments and more than 20,000 jobs will be created in the HafenCity.

This is how it should look like in about 10 years.

Here are the first impressions of the masterplans for the Chicago Square

At the celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of Hamburg’s Sister City partnership with Chicago, Hamburg’s Minister responsible for urban development and environment, Dr. Michael Freytag, unveiled the City’s plans to develop a ‘Chicago Square’ area, with surrounding high-rise buildings, in the Elbbrücken district (east-end of the Hafencity). The plans will draw heavily on the high-rise expertise of architects from Chicago.

The Überseequartier for the Hafencity by dutch architect Rem Kohlhaas

The Überseequartier is the centrepiece of Hamburg’s HafenCity urban development zone. The quarter will complement Hamburg’s current inner-city precinct, featuring a vibrant mix of cultural, leisure and entertainment facilities, a cruise ship terminal, shops, restaurants, hotels, service-sector outlets and residential housing. The main attraction will be the Maritime Erlebniswelt, a large complex that will house a giant aquarium and Science Center.

Currently under construction is the DALMANNKAI QUARTER:
The Dalmannkai quarter is a peninsula-like area between the Sandtorhafen harbour to the north and the Grasbrookhafen marina to the south. On completion, the quarter will comprise around 115,000 m2 of gross floor space, providing a sophisticated mix of inner-city residential housing, office space for service-sector companies, hospitality outlets with attractive waterfront seating, and a new concert hall, the Elbe Philharmonic (Elbphilharmonie). Construction start is scheduled for 2005.

That's amazing. I love the whole maritime feel to it!

[Skyscrapercitizen]

Amazing project seems to have high quality, this is built for centuries! But the project needs one big tower...:)

[Van der Rohe]

I don't know what to say, it is simply fantastic!!!

I hope that Polish cities some day grow up to creating such fantastic and visionary masterplans...

[Cymen]

:omg: The project seems to be one of the biggest one in Europe!

Biggest in what?

This looks like a great project!! It looks a bit similar to project in Amsterdam and Rotterdam were they realized housing in old harbor area's. But the concert hall and living bridge, they rock!

[Skopie]

This looks great. I love this sort of dense midrise development.

Wow, Hafencity sure is a cool project. Is it as big as Örestaden projects in Copenhagen?

[Dubai-Lover]

great to see at least one german city is ambitious to build something new and big

it looks really good and even right now this place is unique

but why does it take 15 years to build a few buildings, now this is typical german!

[DiggerD21]

Amazing project seems to have high quality, this is built for centuries! But the project needs one big tower...:)

There are towers planned at the east-end of the Hafencity (you see them in the background of the first pic). The west-end of the Hafencity is too close to the historic church-skyline to built skyscrapers.

i like the concert hall

Wow, Hafencity sure is a cool project. Is it as big as Örestaden projects in Copenhagen?

As far as I know the Hafencity is the biggest Masterplan in Europe.

Wow, how beautiful that area will be. The concert hall is just amazing.

[DiggerD21]

The Hamburg Senate decided yesterday to build the "Elbphilharmonie" (it's the concert hall). If the local parlament approves this project in fall, constructions will start in the beginning of 2007 and finished in 2nd quarter 2009.

[Harkeb]

I'm very amazed by Hamburg. It surely looks like a very underrated city, especially seeing that it's the city that gave the world 'hamburgers'(the food, not the people!)

[Jaroslaw]

Good to see that Hamburg continues to recover from World War II.

[frank hannover]

Recently the new plans for the "Ueberseequartier" (engl.:Overseaquarter) were unveilled.
This quarter will become the new heart and center of hafencity.Background is the fact ,that several international investor groups competed for the project in the last two years.Only two groups survived and the dutch -german group of gross & partner,ING real estate and bouwfonds are the winners.
second placed and first looser were the conection of DIFA(hamburg),ECE(hamburg) and Tishman Speyer(NYC).

The presented their spectacular architecture designed by Rem Kohlhaas.Pictures you can find on the hafencity.com homepage.

It will be 800 Euro expensive, having at least 16 buildings with 270.000 qm floor ground.

-office floors 124.000 qm.
-residential 47.000qm
-retail 48.000qm
-hotel 28.000qm
-science.cent. 14.000qm
-cruisecenter 3.000qm :eek2:

[Þróndeimr]

Great project, a lot of unique buildings there!

[Bahraini Spirit]

I really like Hamburg as a city, especially the residential districts.

[urbanaturalist]

A German Venice. Nice.

[Nightsky]

Great project! But the area needs a really tall landmark like Västra Hamnen in Malmö has Turning Torso. :D
The concert hall is however really cool!

[frank hannover]

hamburg is having several international sister cities.one of them is Chicago/illinois/USA.They will develop a new square at the east of hafencity called "Chicago Square",which should be designed all skyscrapers by chicago architects exclusively

[DiggerD21]

They will develop a new square at the east of hafencity called "Chicago Square",which should be designed all skyscrapers by chicago architects exclusively

This just a vision by the urban development senator after he came back from a visit to Chicago.
Not a vision but approved today by the local parliament is the construction of the concert hall. It will open in the year 2009 and the estimated construction costs are 186 million Euro (77 million by the city of Hamburg, 74 million by a businessman who wants to build a hotel and appartements in it, 30 million by a patron family and the rest by several smaller donations).

Article in the Spiegel news magazine (german language) including 5 pictures of the project. (http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/0,1518,381851,00.html)

[Andrew]

I like the look of this project, the shape of the whole development reminds me a little of the Easter Harbour district in Amsterdam. I love the concert hall, that's impressive.

[CODEKAGS]

I like to much the " Living Bridge " is great.

Overview
High-quality Rental Apartments
Construction of the first residential building at Dalmannkai started in January 2005. The Hamburg building cooperative “Bergedorf-Bille” constructs 42 high-quality rental apartments on the south side of Dalmannkai, directly at the waterfront of Grasbrookhafen harbour. The design of the two discrete structures was created by the architectural office of Prof. Jörg Friedrich. The buildings feature transparent and elegant façades, and sliding wooden shutters protect them from the sun and the wind. The apartments are flooded with light and some have a gallery-type layout extending on two levels. The staircases are of the straight-through type and receive natural light; they provide spectacular views of the Marco Polo Terraces and the Marina.

[Stuttgarter89]

Here are some more brand new facts about the plans of the 5 diffrent architectures.

Murphy/Jahn: The highest tower of the plan will be about 350 meter high and looks like a pyramid

Jeanne Gang: Plans a 260 meter high tower that is inspired by an habour crane

Mark Sexton: A exhibition centre and a 189 meter tower

Dirk Lohan: 4 buildings reaching up to 215 meter

John Rohan: 5 buildings (max. height: 180 meter)

I think pics of the jeanne Gang, Mark Sexton, Dirk Lohan, John Rohan Plan will be released in the next days.

[p5archit]

Have to admit, there is a lot to envy in those images which have been posted-like the OMA project a lot, but generally have to say that Hamburg looks pretty damned nice. It seems as though they are taking a chance on some projects, especially with the Elbphilharmonie-which is great, considering Germany's conservative- yet nicely executed architecture.

Muss mal Hamburg besuchen kommen, wenn ich mal oben bin nischt!!

[Justme]

Hamburg is my 2nd favourite city in Germany after Berlin. If projects like shown here go through, I can imagine it making the top spot. The city already is pretty amazing, it's hard to imagine what level it will take once these projects are completed.

Only problem is, it may take several decades.

[Bikes]

This is my favourite project of one of my favourite cities in Germany :)

[Bob]

Bloody hell, could that actually happen? I like it, quite a departure from Hamburgs current low rise development though and so much at once. That's 12 skyscrapers proposed at once including Europes tallest!

[frank hannover]

nice update , Lucky Luke :cheers:

[Stuttgarter89]

@Bob: Sorry not 12 ;) just one of these five plans will be built.
Here are the first impressions of the masterplans. Dont forget that this buildings are just an example and not the final design of the towers!

A second terminal has been added to the Hamburg Cruise Center at HafenCity

The cruise business has discovered Hamburg as a new favourite destination. The Hamburg Cruise Center in HafenCity is seeing more cruise ships and international guests than ever before. Around 60 ships will call at the cruise terminal this year, among them such renowned vessels as the "Queen Mary 2" and the "MS Europa". This boom required an extension of the Hamburg Cruise Center at HafenCity and a second terminal has been built. Now, even the largest cruise vessels carrying up to 4,000 passengers can be easily accommodated.
When the new Hamburg Cruise Center opened in 2004, hardly anyone could have reckoned on the need for an extension by 2006. The cruise business is booming in Hamburg. The number of cruiseships calling and passenger volumes are both steadily increasing. While in 2005, just 27 ships moored at HafenCity's cruise terminal, the number of luxury liners calling in 2006 has risen to 56 and estimates for 2010 are for over 100 ships. Furthermore, two ships will arrive at the same time on 10 occasions this year and on one occasion there will be even a "triple mooring" at HafenCity.
In order to ensure the long-term success of the Hamburg Cruise Center as a destination for the cruise industry, HafenCity Hamburg GbmH decided to build a second terminal. Within only eight weeks, a building of 50x24 metres with 1,200 m² of floor space has emerged.

Certain criteria were stipulated for the construction of the second terminal. During the construction phase of the Überseequartier district until 2011, the two buildings need the flexibility to be relocated to another site. The terminal was therefore designed as a temporary structure which can be completely disassembled. The second building was conceived to complement the original one, which had been built using brightly coloured sea freight containers. To preserve its unique design, adding an extension to the existing building was considered unviable and so a new, separate terminal was built. The façade of the second terminal takes up the colour scheme of the original and varies it, using transparent and partly coloured wall cladding panels. The terminal’s translucent walls and warm wooden floors and its amenities including shops, an information desk, and an open air terrace, will offer cruise passengers a friendly and welcoming environment.
However, the Hamburg Cruise Center in HafenCity is only intended as a temporary solution, even with the current extension. The ultimate cruise terminal, as part of the new Überseequartier district, is scheduled for completion in 2011.

SQUARES, PARKS AND PROMENADES IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

The promenades and squares of HafenCity playfully interact with the most essential of all elements – water

The presence of squares, parks and promenades in cities has long been the sign of a high quality of life, and often forms a cornerstone for urban planners wanting to create a people-friendly environment for living and working. To be successful, a European city for the 21st century needs to give a high priority to its open spaces, with careful planning and attention to quality. HafenCity has taken this approach in the development of its public open spaces, a fact that is strongly reflected in current plans.

In February 2000, the strategic framework for creating a new, open and green city was firmly laid down in the Masterplan for HafenCity. This will be the basis for any future town planning and open space planning considerations.

The Masterplan contains details of the areas given over to open space. There will be plenty of diversity with 35 hectares of parks (Lohsepark, Sandtorpark, Grasbrookpark), more than 10 kilometres of promenades, and squares and water areas at Magdeburgerhafen, Grasbrookhafen and Sandtorhafen harbours. Importance has been attached to careful integration into the surrounding open spaces and the lowlands of the River Elbe and the River Bille. For example, the Elbe riverside walking route will pass through HafenCity, leading along its promenades. It is a declared aim of the plan to integrate HafenCity's green spaces into the existing belt of parks that surround the city centre along the line of the former city fortifications.

Mediterranean concept: Benedetta Tagliabue of EMBT convinced the competition judges (© EMBT)

In 2002 the open space concept for the western part of HafenCity was initialy approved, following an international competition. The internationally renowned architects Enrique Miralles Benedetta Tagliabue (EMBT) of Barcelona won the first prize with a light, free and elegant design. The existing harbour basins – originally constructed from a purely functional point of view – are brought to life and put into a human scale. The artistic expressiveness of this open space concept is unrivalled in Europe.

Sophisticated design is one important factor for the square at Sandtorhafen, but the scene will be completed by the people and the backdrop, creating an almost stage-like effect. Construction work will be finished by early summer 2005. Framed by Sandtorkai and Am Kaiserkai and embraced by the surrounding architecture, this first city square – at around 5,000 square metres – will bring water and land together on many levels. Water steps turn the ebb and flood of the tide into an event to be experienced, constantly altering the shape of the space. Ornaments decorate the elegantly designed ground areas and retaining walls depict abstracted fish forms on their surfaces. In the evening, artistic lighting illuminates the scene with steel light spirals playfully scattered around the square.

Restaurants and cafés, festivals, concerts, and other events will bring the entire area surrounding Sandtorhafen harbour to life. At the same time, the square will act as a the gateway to the museum ship harbour. Pontoons that vary in size and shape will provide access to the historic harbour basins allowing them to be viewed from a whole new perspective. Historic ships and cranes representing the maritime heritage of Hamburg will be open to visitors from 2006.

Whats the estimated cost of this?

[LuckyLuke]

Wow, thats fantastic. The benches ont he last picture look like sleeping bags.

Whats the estimated cost of this?

about 30 million Euros.

[choyak]

30 million Euros? Can't be. Must be at least 5 billion Euros for something as extensive as this!

[LuckyLuke]

30 million Euros? Can't be. Must be at least 5 billion Euros for something as extensive as this!


No No, 30 million just for the open space landscape (benches, lamps etc.) of this square.

Don't worry goschio. Those masterplans from the contest are just the very first ideas and won't be built like that. Actually I have the impression that these masterplans were created in lunchbreak sessions sacrificing 5 minutes of the architect's lifetime.

I love some of those buildings.

gibts irgendwas neues vom chicago square? ich hab gehört von beust stellt sich quer in puncto hochhäuser/wolkenkratzer...

[BlackBerry Fixer]

amazing

[frank hannover]

Hey ,some good news of Hamburgs local press: A few days ago they reported the crazy Livingbridge should really come true . The new plans and pics showed some two new high rise buildings constructed over the livingbridge like a huge gate like those buildings on Berlins new central station but taller for some 60.000 sqm office in the towers allone . Investor Dieter Becken recently sold some of his existing building in Hamburg to Morgan Stanley for some 700 mio Euro so he and others want this project soon . Next step until summer is a "Machbarkeitsstudie".:D

[KoolKeatz]

from where u get this news? mopo? abendblatt?

[YelloPerilo]

Schade, daß man nichts von einem Shanghai Square hört, schließlich ist Shanghai neben Chicago auch eine Partnerstadt der Stadt Hamburg. :(

[KoolKeatz]

und vom st. petersburg-platz hört man auch nichts. oder marseille-platz. oder dem osaka-platz. vom léon-platz und dem prag-platz hab ich auch nix gehört. mein favorit bleibt aber der dresden-platz. unsere lieblingspartnerstadt! :)

Was noch nicht ist, kann noch werden. :)

[frank hannover]

Koolkaetz , I get this news from Hamburger Morgenpost.If you currently search in the google news for living-bridge you will find two articels about in Abendblatt an " Welt", but they didn` t report (surprisingly) that the plans had been changed with the addition of the high-rise gate buildings over the bridge.This only reported the mopo.You can probably have a look in their archiev search on their Web site.

Names of streets and Squares in hafencity:I think their is on the official Hafencity site any where a section with maps and new streetnames.They used both , names of sister cities and other important port cities.The new bridge over Brooktorhafen is called Shanghaibrücke,
the western north-south street in Überseequartier alon Magdeburger hafen is called Osaka Boulevard , the eastern north south street San francisco strasse,and the massive 35m bold Quai (QM 2 parking lot) along Science-center , Waterfront towers and Cruise-center/hotel will be named Chicago-kai.But there are also names like Tokyo boulevard and so on,but I don` t know exactly where.

[KoolKeatz]

ive found some new pics of the bridge (with the gate buildings)

http://www.brt.de/content/02/projektimages/65_1.jpg

[frank hannover]

koolkaetz,thats what will come true until 2010 or so for the connection with Habourcity Two at the South side .

[DiggerD21]

Here (http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,469072,00.html) is a new (english) article about the Hafencity by Der Spiegel magazine.

Another news: Yesterday the Hamburg Parliament voted with 93% in favour of building the Elbphilharmonie. But the estimated construction costs have also risen: 186.7 million to 241.3 million Euro. Laying of the cornerstone will be on the 2nd April this year.

[oliver999]

great design, neat city.

[ZZ-II]

good news

[Golden Age]

If the Hafencity holds what these sweet pictures promise (especially the Elbphilarmonie), then Hamburg will have truly "upgraded" its already spiffy downtown.

[frank hannover]

At the official site of www.elbphilharmonie.de you can find in the news an awesome +4min video of the construction of the next 2.5 years. For all construction maniacs, this is great !

I'm a big supporter of dense mid-rise development.

Throughout history these types of development in cities has always proved to be the most resilient and consistent.

More cities around the world try to follow this European model.

[Anna Maria]

I'm a big supporter of dense mid-rise development.

The World was developed, and survived, five thousand years without high-rises, but there is no evidence that our skyscrapers' cities will survive next one thousand years.

The whole Hafen-City is nothing special, it looks like a mad child played with Lego.
The historic Speicherstadt is really beautiful.

This living bridge is so incredible awesome. Hope it gets build.

[iLiR]

Beautiful project! Any estimates on how much this new project will cost?

[Elktest]

Beautiful project! Any estimates on how much this new project will cost?
the price for this projekt is 324 Million€ ~ 400 Million $

[iLiR]

^^ That much for the Hafencity? Impossible, it has to be in the Billions!

[Douly]

I think it is plausible. It may works on the same way that in Marseille Euromediterranée projetcs. One euro invested by French government must implies a 3 or 4 euros' investments by private companies.
So the project itself may cost one or two billions including $ 400 of German government investments and the rest by private sector.

Some german forumer could may be confirm that...;)

[KoolKeatz]

400 million just for the bridge. not for the whole project.

[KoolKeatz]

EDIT: sorry double post

[frank hannover]

the project will cost estimated 6-7 billions of Euro (buildings only) plus at least another 1 billions of Euro for infrastructure like streets , subwayline and stations,parksand so on.With another ideas like skyscrapers at the Chicago-square or this living bridge even more .
Überseequartier will cost allone 800 million Euro plus science center and cruise terminal extra.

[Insane alex]

WoW! Awesome project!

How many people will live and work in the area when completed?

[DiggerD21]

The goal is to have around 12.000 inhabitants and 40.000 new jobs in the Hafencity.

[Insane alex]

okay, thanks! That wasn't as much as i predicted.

[DiggerD21]

12.000 inhabitants on 155 hectares would result in 7.742 inhabitants per km². It would therefore be one of the denser districts in Hamburg (Hamburg average = 2322 inh/km²).

[Bluewarning]

I love this project. The symphony building is really going to be cool.

[iLiR]

the project will cost estimated 6-7 billions of Euro (buildings only) plus at least another 1 billions of Euro for infrastructure like streets , subwayline and stations,parksand so on.With another ideas like skyscrapers at the Chicago-square or this living bridge even more .
Überseequartier will cost allone 800 million Euro plus science center and cruise terminal extra.

Now that makes sense! Thanks for the info. :)

[Puinkabouter]

Stunning project! I hope things like this will become possible around here too.

[erbsenzaehler]

The Living-bridge is the ultimate dream of aquafreaks like me :D
Hopefully they make my dream come true...

[KoolKeatz]

i think it looks good for the living bridge. lets hope that the chicago square gets the same multiple agreement in the cityhall as this bridge.

[erbsenzaehler]

danke! leider sind zum hafencity projekt nur wenige infos zu finden die sich direkt mit der finazierung auseinandersetzen..

[DiggerD21]

The reason why the there is not so much detailed info about the financing: The whole project will not be developed at once. The eastern part will not start to develop before 2015, and that is intended. Therefore the financial planning for that area is not yet needed.

The Living Bridge looks awesome! Wouldn't mind living in there at all. Great project indeed.

The video is just great, I watched it on TV :colgate:

Due to the criticized lack of imaginativeness - There's a new render video of the proposed LIVING BRIDGE (http://www.macina.de/) It's about 7 minutes and shows something from the view of it and some of the renders. This is goin to be a new landmark for the Hafencity and Hamburg, it really stings out of the desertly building masses up there ;)

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1240/sl655lg4.jpg

You just have to click on "costumer" on the top, search for "BRT - Bothe Richter Teherani" and click on "Apply filter" down the scroll bar. You'll find the Living Bridge in the middle of the render collection. Now you have to enjoy.

I'd take this Hafencity development over Dubai anyday. It looks fabulous!

[frank hannover]

Lucky luke , thanks for the Infos .:)You posted the link above of the ueberseequartier , the pics and renders of the buildings changed in recent weeks 2 times . The eggeraat pics of the waterfront-towers are probably old and a little dark , but if you click on " buildings" of the ueberseequatier - page you will see a new white version of this towers. This particular waterfront quai will later consist of the spectacular cruise-center / hotel building , the waterfront -towers and finally the unique science-center ( from west to east ) and later be called the " Chicago-Kai " ( quai ) . :cheers:

what about the lil tower just east of the Ueberseequartier and oppossite the Science-center (34 /12).Its not the final design they show , are there new decisions ?

[Sbz2ifc]

I'm not a big fan of the Waterfront Towers either, but I really like brick buildings and all these new ones are great... not to mention the "classics", of course. I like the Cruise Terminal as well.

Anyway, when all these projects are ready, including the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, Hamburg will attract lots of tourists... including me :D

[Bibelo]

wow, I like this area more than the Amsterdam waterfront development. Great urban plan and architectural overlay :okay:

[goschio]

Very nice high quality construction. My favorite project in Germany right now. I really like the brick facades. Looks very urban and will age well.

In the near future I would add Arabica , cruise-center / Hotel , Science-center , the high-rise next to the HC - university and Spiegel - HQ .:)

[EszettRocks]

Great waterfront architecture.. all those projects look so promising. Der Spiegel headquarters will be quite a knockout.

[frank hannover]

the new Spiegel HQ will have a kind of a large video screen (60 m x 40 m ) or (180 ft x 120 ft) on the outside for Spiegel news , world news and others .

[seth-underneath]

Wow, what an awesome project! :) How much is everything seen here going to cost approx.?

[Waxo Khana]

There are stil 60% of the "Hafencity" left to be planned.

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9921/dez07fk5.jpg

The red buildings are u/c or finished.

Orange buildings are ready to start construction.

Yellow: to invite for tenders.

Green: are areas in preparation.

Right from this picture there is a huge amount of area which is, at the moment not ready to be build.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/965/dez072wo0.jpg

Nobody can really say whats the approx cost.

[erbsenzaehler]

Nobody can really say whats the approx cost.

Well, there's some information given on the homepage of the HafenCity (http://www.hafencity.com/index.php?set_language=de&cccpage=ueberblick_artikel&show=artikel&item=50), as well as some additional facts and figures.

Whole size of the project: 155 hectares

Investment volume:
Private investment: about 5,0 to 5,5 billion (milliard) €uro
Public investment: about 1,3 billion (milliard) €uro


I guess these are the estimated charges, so let's say there'll be around 7-8 billion Euro pumped into the projects. Peanuts for Hamburg eh :)

This square/pedestrian area looks great.
I'm guessing the lamp posts are inspired by port cranes, right?

[SuburbanWalker]

I quite like the density of the developments. I assume there will be a far more lively environment than is the case with supertalls surrounded by swathes of parkland.

Thank you , Kool Keatz . I think on the same site from this two graphics are two more new renders.

[SimsPlanet2]

Wow, great job Hamburg. Hamburg is a really nice city. I've been 1 time in Hamburg, only on the highway to Denmark.

The last picture in this topic is ugly, the others are nice!

I think on the same site from this two graphics are two more new renders.

There are. Further renders of the Science Center (click 2 enlarge):

Look at that guy with the bowler hat! Amazing.

Addition: The article given on that page, offering some deeper information 'bout this project.

Hamburg Science Center

The complex, comprising of the Science Center, Aquarium and Science Theatre, is located at the entrance to the Magdeburger harbour and sits at the end point of an urban axis from the inner Alster to the river Elbe. Situated at the waterfront in close proximity to container and cruise ships, the building marks the connection between the harbour and the city.

The Science Center will become a hub for scientific study in Hamburg and help strengthen the city’s educational profile creating a place for the next generation of scientists to study and share knowledge. Not only will the Science Centre be linked to many other institutes in Hamburg but it will also become the generating force for innovative education and be a cultural highlight in itself.
