Sneak peek: This is Berlin’s tallest skyscraper

Watch out London

German property agency, BEWOCON, has submitted proposals for a 150 metre skyscraper in the centre of Berlin, which will be the tallest in the city, signalling a new era for real estate in the capital. The plans for the Alexander Berlins Capital (ABC) Tower (commonly known as the Alexander Tower) include 475 residential apartments across 39 floors, with spa and gym facilities, private cinema, residents terrace and club levels, as well as underground parking facilities for cars and bicycles.

Located on Alexanderstrasse, just moments from the Berliner Fernsehturm (Television Tower), designs for the Alexander Tower were first revealed in the city’s Master Plan in 1994, as part of an initiative to regenerate the Alexanderplatz area of central Berlin. Following years of discussions and alterations to the proposals, the tower has received strong support from the local government, including the Senator for Urban Development and the Environment, as well as the Secretary of State for Construction and Living.

Karl Zeller, Executive Partner of BEWOCON, said: “This is a huge moment, not only for us but for Berlin, because proposals for the Alexander Tower have been in the planning process for a number of years. Once approval has been granted we’re excited to begin work on this iconic project that will not only provide high-quality homes and amenities, but a tower that symbolises the prosperity and diversity of our capital city.”
