High-quality revitalization
of a traditional industrial site
into an innovative Campus 4.0
HAVEL LABS are a 24/7 campus that is fully tailored to the needs of the people on site.
These amenities include sustainably designed architecture that enables a close connection to nature, as well as diverse leisure activities in green spaces and right by the waterfront.
These aspects significantly contribute to the well-being of individuals and therefore represent a key success factor for companies that want to thrive in the current "war for talent". In addition, the quality of the highend serviced apartments, which offer state-of-the-art living comfort, also enhances the attractiveness of the campus.

For around 300 years, the area on the banks of the Havel
has been used as a production site. The future use at
Zitadellenweg builds directly on this DNA.
The location offers excellent opportunities for Production 4.0, prototyping, research and development, both digital and analog manufacturing, and much more.
An extraordinary highlight of HAVEL LABS is the planned
boarding house in the Manufaktur with 120 units: perfect
for new employees and out-of-town guests.
Spacious and open courtyards, inviting alleyways, various buildings with very different characters, and always Intriguing views of the water in between.
The architectural concept of the architects at Gewers Pudewill deliberately focuses on diversity and at the same time manages to make the whole greater than the the sum of its parts.
Cafés, beer gardens, and restaurants offering healthy and high-quality food can find their place in HAVEL LABS and sustainably benefit from the location and the people on site.
Conference and event rooms
Modern, well-equipped rooms for meetings, conferences or events will be attractive to both tenants and external customers. A corresponding app can also be used to create convenient booking options.
Charging stations for electric cars and secure bicycle parking spaces
In order to conserve resources, electromobility is promoted by providing suitable infrastructure. In addition, the use of sustainable means of transportation is supported with secure bicycle parking spaces and innovative solutions for an environmentally friendly everyday life.
Parcel stations and cold storage
Workplace amenities such as parcel stations for the secure receipt of orders and cold storage for fresh food from online supermarkets increase employee satisfaction with convenient, time-saving solutions.
Health and wellness offers
Offers such as fitness courses, nutritional advice and relaxation areas promote health and well-being in the workplace. The benefits are increased employee satisfaction, reduced sick days and increased productivity. The HAVEL LABS campus offers the best conditions for this.
Living in the boarding house
A boardinghouse is being planned on the campus, which will offer individually tailored housing solutions for specialists. This opportunity to accommodate employees comfortably and directly on site offers a decisive advantage, especially in a dynamic city like Berlin. The temporary accommodation of employees also facilitates the integration of new team members and offers an attractive alternative for commuters or during career transition phases. The combination of first-class living space and campus makes HAVEL LABS an attractive overall package that significantly strengthens the position of companies in the battle for the best minds.
HAVEL LABS is a future-oriented work-life space that focuses on sustainability and diversity. The planning of the campus is consistently ecological and resource-conserving, with an architectural and aesthetic quality that puts people at the center. The integration of natural elements into the design and the direct connection to nature make the offices and work areas places where employees enjoy spending their time. This not only promotes loyalty to the company, but also a sustainable working culture. As a logical consequence of this philosophy, LEED Platinum certification is being pursued.
