As a city known for its diversity, rich history and culture, and world famous music scene, it’s no surprise Germany’s capital Berlin is an incredibly attractive location for investors.

Modern Berlin is experiencing soaring rents, which increased 85% between 2007 and 2019. This is impacting the population, of which 80% rent their homes. The demand for housing will only continue as the city is expected to grow further tightening the housing supply. This makes projects like PATRIZIA’s Havelufer Quarter all the more critical.
