Location

Building lots 10 and 17 are located in the “ Moldauhafenquartier,” which will be the future residential hub of Grasbrook. The neighborhood is characterized by short distances, a high quality of life along the waterfront, and its immediate proximity to HafenCity, the “ Veddel ,” and the Port of Hamburg. Plans include parks, waterfront promenades, schools, daycare centers, and cultural institutions such as the German Port Museum.

As the neighborhood is developed to feature short distances, a vibrant environment for living, working, and shopping is taking shape. The future U4 subway line, with its “Moldauhafen” stop, will further connect the neighborhood to downtown Hamburg and HafenCity. The development sites also benefit from their location at the entrance to the district and from the central neighborhood parking garage.
