One of the most significant opportunities of living is to build communities; that’s exactly what the CITY SHELF stands for.

Four “addresses”, four buildings with different qualities of living to create a variable living space around a quiet courtyard, the CITY SHELF is the “face“ in the public.

Apart from flexible apartments, the SHELF places a special focus on young living. Climate resilient developments and ecology are imparted on different levels.

The unit includes multi-story open space, community rooms, a gym used as a power plant, an ecological playground, a youth center, an urban movie theater and alternative mobility concepts complete the multifaceted character of the building and enhance the aesthetic appeal of urban living across the building site for the whole quarter and the urban neighborhood.

The buildings are connected nearly on every floor - combined with green terraces and open spaces.
