Urbany in Berlin is the first Good Urban Village that ZS, in close collaboration with a housing company, will bring into being. Organised like a village in the city, everything that makes up healthy, happy, big-city life in a vibrant community is networked together in the mixed-use district.
The focus of the car-free district is a range of offers that can be used together to promote both the community and interactions within the community and are aimed at health and activity. The wide range of housing is aimed at all income groups and age groups for a healthy social mix.
Functioning urban communities can offer potential solutions to some of the pressing challenges of our time. Urbany shows how places can transform into robust and resilient communities when people are offered opportunities to network, shape and grow together.
Urbany creates new realities that promote well-being and transform urban living spaces into healthier and happier places – more efficiently for everyone involved and at a more affordable price for the people who live there.
Needs and megatrend-oriented, the Good Urban Village concept links properties to a holistic living environment connecting all areas of life in a meaningful way.
Due to its proximity to the city centre and the comparatively modest apartment prices, the eastern part of Berlin has become more and more popular with young families, creatives and students in recent years. An urban infrastructure consisting of local supply and local transport on the doorstep is ideal for Urbany. To the north, the property borders a public park that enriches the city district.
Commercial space with a gross floor area of the order of 98,000 square meters is being
created for a neighbourhood supplier, co-working and small businesses as well as a wide range of residential apartments, rental apartments, serviced apartments and options for older people.
A child day-care centre and a large number of community areas enrich the environment for all age groups. These include, amongst others, a neighbourhood cinema, a sports ground, opportunities for urban gardening and shared roof terraces. Health-conscious nutrition is the focus of our food concept with an attractive canteen as well as a teaching and learning kitchen.
