Borsig Green Living

Property description

This exclusive new build project comprises a total of 33 units, including two spacious penthouses and two maisonette apartments in the garden building. The homes are distributed across a front building with five floors and a garden building with two floors. Living spaces range from approx. 40 m² to approx. 110 m² and offer 1- to 3-room layouts – ideal for singles, couples and small families.

The basement level contains 33 separate storage units corresponding to the number of apartments, as well as the building’s technical room.

All units are characterised by high-quality outfitting and modern architecture. Generous floor-to-ceiling windows with triple glazing and durable aluminium-plastic frames ensure bright, light-filled interiors. An integrated, adjustable sun protection system provides additional comfort.

The entire living area is equipped with underfloor heating on impact sound insulation. Stylish natural oak parquet flooring creates a warm and elegant atmosphere. Bathrooms feature exclusive sanitary fittings from Villeroy & Boch as well as tasteful, high-quality tiles.

Each residential unit includes a video intercom system and an overhead door closer at the entrance, ensuring both security and convenience.

All apartments offer either a balcony or a terrace. The maisonette units in the garden building additionally feature generous wraparound terraces overlooking the quiet inner courtyard. The penthouses impress with expansive terraces offering panoramic views across the Tegel district – ideal for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.

In the front building, all apartments are conveniently accessible barrier-free via lift and staircase. The garden building is accessed via a separate stairwell and, due to its reduced number of floors, offers a particularly spacious atmosphere.

The landscaped inner courtyard includes bicycle parking spaces and a small playground, creating a place to relax – a retreat for all ages within an urban setting.

In addition, photovoltaic systems are installed on the roofs, and the buildings are supplied with energy via heat pumps. The high energy efficiency represents another outstanding feature and underlines the quality of the development.

Location description

The Tegel district, located in the southwest of Reinickendorf, is known for Tegel Lake, a popular destination for excursions. At its northern end stands Humboldt Palace, privately owned by the descendants who still partly reside there. In the adjoining park stands the “Dicke Marie”, believed to be Berlin’s oldest tree.

The project itself is located just a one-minute walk from the Borsigwerke underground station.

Northwest of Alt-Tegel, where little remains of its village past, lies the main artery “Berliner Straße” with shops for daily needs and the former Borsig works. Today, these form the shopping and leisure centre “Hallen am Borsigturm” with cinemas, retail outlets and more, set within historic Berlin brick architecture. The castle-style entrance gate is a listed building and a landmark of the district.

At the end of 2020, a new pedestrian zone was developed on Gorkistraße with numerous shops, offices, cafés and restaurants, representing one of the first large-scale revitalisations of an entire shopping street in Germany and integrating the historic Markthalle Tegel.

The Gorkistraße pedestrian zone and Tegel Center invite you to shop, while the surrounding side streets remain quiet and lined with trees. The Greenwich Promenade with its boat piers invites you to stroll. Points of interest include the historic red customs bridge “Sechserbrücke” and the Humboldt Library. Nearby are also Tegel Harbour and the Tegel Forest recreational area.
