Flexible housing operator Habyt will manage residential units within DOXS NKLN, a mixed-use development planned on the Neukölln Ship Canal. The project, developed by Trockland in partnership with architecture studio GRAFT, is scheduled to be completed in 2028 and will include around 317 flexible living units operated by Habyt. The scheme is designed to redevelop a former recycling yard into an urban quarter with more than 30,000 square metres of gross floor area. It combines residential accommodation with office and retail space, gastronomy, and public amenities. Plans also include a canalside promenade and an urban square, intended to integrate the site into the wider Neukölln district. The design preserves two historic cranes as part of the area’s industrial heritage and incorporates sustainability features such as green roofs, modular construction, solar power and the reuse of building materials. Habyt’s units will be furnished for both short- and long-term stays, with layouts including a sleeping area, kitchenette and bathroom. Shared amenities such as coworking areas, a fitness centre and communal spaces are also planned. “DOXS NKLN is an important project for Habyt, reflecting our approach to combining design, sustainability and flexible housing models,” said Patrick Breuer, Managing Director Germany, Austria and Netherlands at Habyt. Barbara Sellwig, Senior Project Manager at Trockland, noted that maintaining elements of the site’s industrial past while opening the waterfront to the public had been a central goal of the development.
