The non-profit trust is once again supporting more humanitarian projects at home and abroad. One of the projects is concerned with integrated support for young people in sports training centres in South Africa, another grants people with disabilities in Ramallah, Palestine, access to education and training. The third project contributes to the formation of public opinion in Germany through crowdfunding. A further initiative that is supported by the knodel foundation deals with an app to coordinate assistance with shopping for members of coronavirus risk groups in Germany.

PANDION celebrated the completion of the carcass work for its new commercial project PANDION THE GRID in Berlin on a small scale at the end of June with the placement of the topping-out wreath and a word of thanks to everyone involved. The project is in the direct neighbourhood of Moritzplatz in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district and has been planned as a Business Courtyard 2.0. Following completion, PANDION THE GRID will offer plenty of space for attractive and innovative offices with its 13,000 or so square meters distributed on five floors.

A new residential area in being developed in Leonberg near Stuttgart with our PANDION LEON project. Together with the architects Hascher Jehle, PANDION won the town planning competition for the housing development on the former sports ground in Leonberg. We are planning to build a total of 142 apartments, 42 of which will be publicly subsidised, as well as three smaller commercial units. Work can finally begin on site now that we have received planning permission for the project.

PANDION’s CEO Reinhold Knodel is the guest of the latest Immo podcast of the PR agency PB3C. He talks about “The vertical city: do big German cities really need more residential high-rises?” together with their Managing Partner Dr. Girshovich.
