Berlin Senate Approves Plan for Climate-Neutral Köpenick District

The development will include 1,800 homes, schools, and community facilities, with construction beginning in autumn 2025.

The Berlin Senate has approved a framework plan to transform the former Köpenick freight station into a climate-neutral residential and commercial district.
The project will feature 1,800 housing units, with 40% designated as affordable housing, alongside two school locations and daycare centers.
Construction of the first 150 apartments is set to begin in autumn 2025, with the final phase planned for 2032.
The district will prioritize sustainability with reduced car usage and strong public transport connections.
A topping-out ceremony for the primary school is expected later this year, signaling progress on community infrastructure.
