The new construction project "Roelcke 111" by wvm Berlin Immobilien + Projektentwicklung GmbH in Berlin-Weissensee is approaching its next milestone: the shell of the four residential buildings has been completed. Interior work is proceeding in parallel and is already well advanced in some areas – the first apartments already give an indication of the future quality of living. Work on the outdoor facilities has also begun: the areas for green spaces, the neighborhood square, and the playground are in preparation.
The project comprises a total of 49 condominiums – from 2-room apartments to 5-room apartments, supplemented by eight penthouses and three townhouses. The living spaces range from approximately 43 to 150 square meters. For future residents, 41 underground parking spaces will be created, equipped with pre-installations for electric mobility. The centrally located, approximately 250-square-meter, landscaped courtyard is planned as a communal communication and meeting space.
"We are well on schedule and have reached an important milestone with the completion of the shell construction. The building is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in spring 2026, and around half of the apartments have already been allocated," says Dr. Clemens Paschke, Managing Director of WvM Berlin Immobilien + Projektentwicklung GmbH. the fact that we are also celebrating ten years of wvm this year is a clear signal for us: in a challenging market situation, we are demonstrating that projects can be reliably implemented – from planning to completion.
The ensemble bears the name of Berlin artist Hermann Roelcke (1832–1896), whose work inspired the design concept: open, green areas that extend into the inner courtyard. Four buildings are grouped around this central open space – an apartment building on the street side, two detached city villas, and another building with three townhouses.
In addition to architectural and open space planning aspects, the project focuses on energy-efficient technologies such as heat pumps and a photovoltaic system for generating electricity. The direct current model enables the apartments to be supplied with green electricity from the PV system. The extensive roof greening also contributes to climate protection.
The building is being constructed in a sought-after location: Berlin-Pankow is Berlin's most populous district and, according to forecasts by the Berlin Senate, will continue to grow at an above-average rate until 2040.
