Benjamin Blocher führt Rundgang auf Baustelle New7
The transformation of the former Galeria Kaufhof in Mannheim is taking shape. On February 13, 2025, our partner Benjamin Blocher will offer an exclusive insight into the redevelopment of the building. In collaboration with Diringer & Scheidel, this pioneering project is redefining urban space: while the lower floors will provide flexible office and retail spaces, the upper levels will feature new urban living spaces built using sustainable timber-hybrid construction.
The tour offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the innovative planning and construction processes. Safety shoes, a helmet, and a high-visibility vest are required.
Nachhaltig. Effizient. Multimodal
Under this motto, the 17th German Retail Real Estate Summit will take place in Düsseldorf from February 20-21, 2025.
Erik Schimkat, Managing Director of blocher partners sens, who specializes in design strategy, will moderate the event on 21 February at 10:15 a.m. and, together with industry experts, will explore the question of how retail properties can be designed to be sustainable and resource-efficient. The focus will be on linking sustainability, efficiency and multimodal concepts: how can architecture and urban planning take new, resilient paths to make urban districts and retail locations successful in the long term?
