Hamburg's colonnades: million project for new elegance and atmosphere!

in the heart of Hamburg, between the new Jungfernstieg and the Esplanade, is all about the redesign of the colonnades. An ambitious project that aims to increase the quality of stay and to better stage the impressive architecture of the quarter. By decision of the Hamburg Senate, the Business Improvement District (BID) Quartier Colonnaden was launched, which has a term of three years until March 1, 2028. A budget of around 1.2 million euros was planned for the first measures, and exclusively from private means, reports the Hamburg urban development .

The motivation behind this project? The local property owners want to make the charming quarters more attractive, so that both Hamburg and guests feel comfortable there. The focus is on a variety of design and functional measures. In addition to a new lighting, fresh city furniture is also set up, and targeted green space creates an inviting ambience. In particular, the accessibility of the arcades should be improved to increase the attractiveness of the area.

more than just a facelift

The redesign of the colonnades is more than just a cosmetic refresher. It is about creating a living and modern space that respects both the historical substance and meets the requirements of today. "We would like to highlight the charm of the listed arcades and at the same time offer modern amenities," explains a project manager of the BID project company. The initiative has its roots in the experiences that Hamburg has gained with the BID model since 2005. Over 100 million euros have already been invested in the development of various quarters that have positive effects on cities.

Not only the centro businesses benefit from this initiative. The focus is also on private investments: Dieter Becken has acquired two listed houses in the colonnades. With 2,500 square meters of rental space, he plans a careful revitalization of the buildings, which previously belonged to the insolvent Signa Group. In addition, the HanseMerkur plans to build basic assets, a new office and commercial building complex directly on the Gänsemarkt, adjacent to the colonnades. These developments will significantly strengthen the link between traditional trade and modern lifestyles in this historic part of the city.

The way to a successful BID

A BID not only means investments, but also careful planning and cooperation between landowners. According to architecture sheet is required that the urban development agency is integrating and with a specialized Working agent. The result should not only improve the infrastructure, but also increase the quality of stay and thus make the neighborhood more accessible to everyone.

The BID model has proven to be an effective instrument since its introduction in Germany to revitalize inner-city quarters and to improve the quality of the location. "The owners have overslept the change in the city center," said Benjamin Willi, project manager at Urbanistic GmbH, during a panel discussion about the future of the BIDS. The aim remains to not only secure Hamburg's city center as a commercial location, but also to design as a pulsating center of life and culture.
