Upcoming "Milieuschutz" Areas in Moabit and Tiergarten

The Berlin-Mitte district council put the pressure up for “Milieuschutz”. In their last meeting before the summer break, the representatives demanded the district administration by resolution to identify the so-called observation areas Körner- and Lützowstraße in Tiergarten and Moabit the Lübecker Straße and the Thomasiusstraße and the Beussel district as “Milieuschutz” protection areas. Further to formally announce the dedication of the areas in order to apply the social conservation mechanisms as soon as possible. This means that homeowners must meet certain approval criteria for construction projects and take into account the rent index in the district.
The “Milieuschutz” is an urban and social instrument for avoiding displacement of the existing resident population also known as gentrification.

The New Lifestyle Center of Berlin-Mitte

Chausseestrasse at the north end of Friedrichstrasse in Berlin-Mitte is the new Lifestyle Center of the city.

The immediate environment is developing fast. Every visit brings new discoveries, a new espresso bar, a new restaurant, a hidden away well-established restaurant or the new bio-supermarket. There are attractions like the climbing garden “Mountmitte", the Natural History Museum and others at nearby Invalidenstrasse. For art lovers, the contemporary arts gallery at the “Hamburger Bahnhof” – is within a few minutes walking distance.
Looking at an aerial view, the amount of interspersed green areas become apparent. Bigger parks like Humboldhain or Tiergarten are within comfortable jogging distance. Pankepark and the Park am Hauptbahnhof (currently under development) surround the vicinity of  Chaussestrasse.

The company offices, some of them Germany headquarters, and federal ministries in the area are numerous. A few examples: Deutsche Bahn AG (3,000 office jobs), Vattenfall, Total, Bayer-Schering Pharma, Charité (University Hospital w. 3,800 doctors and scientists).  Federal Ministry (FM) of Transport, Building and Urban Development, FM of Economics and Technology, FM of Education
 
Currently there are several interesting property developments in construction or planned. There is "The Mile", "The Garden Living" and of course Daniel Liebeskind’s prestigious "Sapphire" project, with still more opportunities to come. For an interested buyer, especially living far away, it is a tedious task to follow all the developments, get brochures from all kind of agents and developers and at the same time know what is real and what is "pie in the sky" and might never be built. To help in those situations, there is a service available which provides an independent one-stop-shop for luxury condos in Berlin, especially in the central areas.
