The renovation will create a vibrant shopping destination with a mix of retail, dining and entertainment spaces. It is being implemented by Brookfield Properties, the asset manager of Berlin’s Postdamer Platz square, and ECE, the shopping centre’s operator.

The renovation scheme seeks to create a connection to the project site’s history and reposition the mall as a distinctive shopping and leisure centre with an international high street format.

The renovation work on the 46,000m² German retail shopping facility is underway and includes the repositioning of arcades. The refurbished mall will include 90 shops and flagship stores in the areas of science and beauty, technology, mobility and leisure, sport and entertainment, and gastronomy.

The existing shopping street on the upper floor will be removed and replaced with two-storey facades. The redesigned arcades will welcome new culinary options, including a community market, as well as global restaurant concepts and local providers on two levels spanning approximately 5,500m².

The architecture will include double and triple-height façades. International brands will occupy the upper levels of the mall while local amenities and service providers will be housed in the basement.

Retail stores at the mall include HM, Icono, DM Drogeriemart and Krass Optik while services stores include Essanelle, K Kiosk, Service Point (Shoe Key service) and Picobello. The shopping centre also includes Postdamer Platz Pharmacy and a supermarket, REWE.
