Essen Weber1

WEBER1 picks up speed: Allbau GmbH, Essen's largest housing provider, celebrated the ground-breaking ceremony for ‘WEBER1’ at the end of April 2024 - a new building with an outstanding urban and social impact for Essen's northern city centre. Investment volume: around 54 million euros.

In the 4th quarter of 2024, work will begin on the shell of the new building complex planned by architects gna with an underground car park and a total of around 10,000 square metres of usable space. In addition to 51 publicly subsidised flats, a new registry office for the city of Essen will be built by the end of 2026, which will take up a large part (almost 4,000 square metres) of the newly created usable space. Modern, contemporary office space will also be created for the other purposes and requirements of a registry office. The location directly on Weberplatz, which will also be redesigned, will provide wedding parties with space for an enjoyable get-together.

A catering facility will be located on the ground floor. This will expand the gastronomic diversity in the city centre with a high-quality offering and should contribute to the revitalisation of Weberplatz. This will also be given a new look by the city of Essen. Under the heading ‘The green living room on Weberplatz’, a concept by Greenbox
landscape architects is being realised. Essen's Lord Mayor Thomas Kufen and Allbau Managing Director Dirk Miklikowski believe in WEBER1 and the northern city centre location: ‘We are creating a modern, attractive new district with a strong appeal that will shape the cityscape!’
