PANDION will once again announce a concept competition for rent-controlled spaces in its PANDION OFFICEHOME project at Berlin Ostkreuz. The aim is to create more affordable work and production spaces for creative people as well as neighbourhood meeting places in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The two-stage award process called "Space 4 Ideas" is aimed at tenants from the arts, cultural and educational scene as well as socially committed organisations that offer sustainable programmes for the neighbourhood. Several spaces are being advertised that can be used for a minimum of five and a maximum of ten years at a fixed rent of 6.50 euros m²/ net cold.

PANDION has sold its largest office project development to date to Union Investment as part of a forward funding. A PANDION OFFICEHOME with 44,700 square meters of office space on up to seven floors and around 1,500 workplaces will be built in Munich's Werksviertel district by summer 2024. Construction will start in January 2022, and the space has already been leased for 15 years since the summer of this year to the Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben for use by the German Patent and Trademark Office.

Not all cobblestones are the same: as part of our art in construction project Topography, shortly before the completion of the Berlin office building PANDION OFFICEHOME The Grid, twelf cobblestones will be inserted into its inner courtyard floor. They aretelling a very special story. The cubes are made of glass bottles that the Colombian-Dutch artist Roberto Uribe-Castro had collected in the surroundings of his Kreuzberg home, in gardens, courtyards and forecourts of nightclubs and bars, melted down and compacted to the size of granite paving stones in order to recycle them as building material. Interested parties can obtain further information about Topography and the artist via a QR code located in the immediate vicinity at the entrance to the office building
