Berlin Hyp has completed its new “B-One” headquarters on Budapester Straße 1 in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. The building, officially inaugurated in September 2025, consolidates all Berlin staff of Berlin Hyp and employees of Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) under one roof. Designed by C.F. Møller Architects and built by Ed. Züblin AG under the oversight of bdp real estate GmbH, the eleven-storey structure reaches a height of nearly 45 metres and offers around 19,000 square metres of space. It accommodates approximately 500 workstations and includes open-plan areas, team and workshop rooms, quiet zones, and a multi-level “Town Hall” with a prominent open staircase that doubles as a gathering, event and reception space. Sustainability has been central throughout the project. During demolition of the predecessor building, about 88% of materials were recycled. The new building is designed to consume over 50% less energy than its predecessor, with photovoltaic panels integrated into the façade, a geothermal system using 60 boreholes, concrete core temperature control, green roofs and façades, and systems for rainwater retention. Berlin Hyp is pursuing DGNB Platinum certification for the completed building, adding to the DGNB Platinum award already achieved for the deconstruction phase. The headquarters also supports modern working environments, with interiors designed for flexibility between collaborative and individual work. Retreat zones, open-plan spaces, and dedicated workshop areas are complemented by social and creative meeting points. Employees were actively involved throughout the development process, from site visits to input on design and fit-out decisions. Construction of “B-One” began in January 2023 and was completed in July 2025, following the demolition of the previous headquarters which started in 2020. With the new building, Berlin Hyp underscores both its commitment to sustainable architecture and its long-term presence in the German capital as part of LBBW’s multi-location strategy.
