In the heart of Berlin, the Uferhallen – a beloved hub for the city's vibrant artist community – has secured a significant future. After years of serving as a studio and event space for numerous creatives, the building, which covers a total area of 19,000 square meters, is set for a major transformation.

The journey towards this development began in 2017 when 95% of the Uferhallen AG fell into the hands of a group of private investors. Fast forward to 2024, and architect Anna Schneider made a significant breakthrough in the redevelopment of the Uferhallen building, not far from the Panke.

This breakthrough was initiated by then-Culture Senator Joe Chialo (CDU), and in early January 2024, a significant agreement was reached. The contract, described by the Berliner Morgenpost at the time, has a duration of 20 years, with an option for the Land Berlin to extend it by a further ten years.

Crucially, during this period, the owner of the property, the Augustus Management GmbH, has no right to terminate the contract. This assurance has alleviated fears of displacement that arose when the news of the redevelopment became known.

The Uferhallen, a vital part of Berlin's cultural landscape, will continue to thrive under this new agreement. As the redevelopment progresses, it is hoped that the building will not only maintain its status as a creative haven but also evolve into an even more dynamic and inspiring space for artists and the public alike.
