Grosser Burstah Office Building

Hamburg, Germany

The Grosser Burstah in Hamburg is nearing completion. The scaffolding has been taken off at the top of the building, revealing the new terracotta cladding manufactured by NBK. The rest of the façade will be finished by the end of the year.

The new office building will provide 13,700 square metres of offices and retail space, over ten floors, it is part of a larger development of the city north of the St Nikolai Memorial. The building aims to re-establish an urbanism which is consistent with the scale of the older streets in the central quarter. Most of the office space has been rented out, and the internal fit-out will start at the beginning of next year.
