A big wave from
the Hanseatic city

QUEST Development GmbH has set itself the task of revitalising the eye-catching SATELLITE NINE 4 building at Steindamm 94.

Built in 1970/71, the building’s geometric grid lines are reminiscent of the first transistor radios of the 1960s and 70s which opened up communication channels across the world. With its fourteen storeys, SATELLITE NINE 4 is one of the tallest and most striking buildings to the south of the central railway station. Now, SATELLITE NINE 4 is ready for a new age. The current building, a valuable piece of architectural culture, has been preserved in the interests of sustainability and continues to enrich Hamburg's cityscape with its timeless modernity. 

BOHNZIRLEWAGEN supported the comprehensive revitalisation of the office building with targeted project management and clear organisational structures. The aim of the project was to reposition the building with circa 27,400 sq m usable space in the Hamburg office market following an extensive refurbishment and to make it attractive for future tenants. Elements of this revitalisation included the renovation of the façade, a complete interior fit-out of the office floors and a modernisation of the building services and engineering.

Working closely with its client from the start of the extended design phases, BOHNZIRLEWAGEN structured the entire tendering and award process, and represented its client’s interests in all technical matters relating to the project during the revitalisation process. Thanks to the meticulous project structure and methodological approach, tailored procurement strategies and requirements-based consulting, the project will be completed on schedule in early 2025. BOHNZIRLEWAGEN offered efficiency, transparency and a solution-orientated collaboration geared towards the project requirements and its client’s objectives.

With BOHNZIRLEWAGEN as our experienced and trustworthy partner, we achieved our ambitious objectives. The all-round success of this project was assured by our transparent and constructive cooperation at all times.

BOHNZIRLEWAGEN was commissioned by Gold Tree to carry out a comprehensive technical due diligence of the OVAL OFFICE building at Überseering 10 in Hamburg's City Nord district.

Originally constructed in 2003, the building with circa 25,000 sq m lettable space over seven above-ground floors is almost fully let.

In a difficult market climate, we collaborated with all project participants to identify potential risks and opportunities, always focusing on an objective-led transaction process. The services BOHNZIRLEWAGEN provided extended far beyond a classic due diligence exercise and the purchaser was fully supported from a structural engineering perspective throughout the process.

The provision of successful transaction advice requires an efficient and professional approach to due diligence and communication to be taken with all project participants across all disciplines. Thanks to many years of experience in supporting such transaction processes, BOHNZIRLEWAGEN provided its client with sustained support in their purchase considerations and when taking the necessary steps. Confidence in the work undertaken and the task itself was always at the forefront of the collaboration.

Thanks to BOHNZIRLEWAGEN, we were able to quickly grasp the complexity of the building without our own technical experts and were guided by the focused professional advice we received throughout the decision-making process in a difficult market climate. BOHNZIRLEWAGEN made an effective and solution-orientated contribution to the completion of the transaction.
