With its broad mix of uses, NEW HEART on the block responds to the needs of a modern, sustainable city and creates a unique destination, not only for those who live and work here, but also for the surrounding neighborhood and the city as a whole.
A NEW HEART at Kennedydamm
People shape the city, and NEW HEART on the block is designed to give something back to the people who make it thrive. Through an extensive public participation process, your ideas regarding housing, local amenities, quality public spaces, green areas, childcare, and parking have been incorporated into the planning and are now an integral part of NEW HEART.
STATUS QUO
Quo Vadis, NEW HEART?
Following the completion of the urban planning competition in 2023, the plans for NEW HEART have been further refined and developed. The project’s development plan is scheduled for public display in the fourth quarter of 2026, marking another important milestone toward realization. In parallel, the full lease-up of the office tower by Uniper has been announced (press release 
). Construction is expected to begin in early 2027 once demolition and site preparation works on the existing building have been completed.
