New development areas and how they look nowadays due to energy saving regulations, etc.

It used to be a huge site in an old district of East Berlin (former military area and restricted zone).

In 2006, things still started off quite reasonably. In the end, there are now around 500 houses. What’s interesting is that each year the plots got smaller, but the houses built on them became larger.

This was the beginning in 2006, as mentioned, still quite moderate:

Aerial view of a construction site with a crane, new houses, and adjacent row houses in autumn.



Aerial view of a construction area with new buildings, streets, trees, and red roofs.



Now, around 2017 and after about four construction phases, this is what it looks like:


Aerial photo of a new residential neighborhood: many modern houses with dark roofs, streets, and vehicles.


There was no real zoning plan there. Practically anything could be built that was available in the portfolio.

OT: I would feel claustrophobic with these plots. The best ones are almost always in the shade...


Combining and rearranging didn’t go perfectly smoothly but it’s alright...

What do they all want there anyway? For me, Berlin is synonymous with dirt, incompetence, inability to get things organized, crime, Lebanese and Turkish gangs, broken schools, and so on.

I recently saw 600 sqm (6,458 sqft) on the outskirts of Berlin for 259k...

I would definitely go for that! Here, you pay 500k for the same area... Bavaria...

However, one must not forget that the upper middle class in Bavaria belongs to a completely different income bracket.

Have you ever been there yourself?

Yes. Several times. The development around Alexanderplatz from the year 2000 until now is a striking decline, for example. But we digress...

Are you saying that's not the case? My wife used to live in Reinickendorf, and she was shocked when she returned to Berlin after a year... when you live there yourself, you don’t notice the dirt. Only when you experience something different.

Here is an example:


Paved sidewalk next to parked cars, trees, and buildings on a residential street.


There is definitely no street cleaning here.
