Eckert Carré Berlin-Friedrichshain: A DGNB Gold Residential Ensemble in Berlin's Tech and Creative Heartland

Published 28 July 2026 by Kefah Abu Gosh

Eckert Carré is a modern residential ensemble in the highly sought-after Friedrichshain district — steps from Berlin's most consequential tech-corridor anchors: the Zalando Campus and the Amazon Tower. The scheme is DGNB Gold certified — the German gold standard for sustainable building certification — and is designed around innovative "Sponge City" principles for climate-resilient urban water management. The current release brings 69 units to the abuda platform, with 69 currently available — the widest unit choice of any Berlin release in the pipeline. Project details.

Why Friedrichshain is Berlin's most concentrated employer catchment

If Kreuzberg is Berlin's cultural anchor and Charlottenburg is its wealth anchor, Friedrichshain is its employer anchor. The corridor hosts:

  • Zalando Campus — Europe's largest online fashion retailer's HQ

  • Amazon Tower — Amazon's Berlin office complex

  • Adjacent tech, media and creative infrastructure that has pulled the highest concentration of employer covenants in the city

For a rental-yield-focused investor, employer density is the single most reliable predictor of tenant demand consistency. Friedrichshain apartments rent to a wide employer catchment that overlaps only partially with pure lifestyle demand — meaning the residence occupies through market cycles that would slow lifestyle-only micro-locations.

What DGNB Gold means (and why it matters)

DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) is Germany's federal sustainability certification body. Gold is one tier below Platinum and marks the ensemble as engineered to substantially exceed regulatory standards on energy efficiency, materials sourcing, indoor air quality and lifecycle carbon. Two investor-level consequences:

  • Regulatory-shift protection — as EU building regulations tighten (they will), Gold-tier stock stays compliant while non-certified stock faces retrofit costs

  • Institutional buyer eligibility — Gold certification opens the resale market to institutional investors, ESG-mandated buyers, and green-financing structures

Product specification

  • 69 total units in current release — 69 available (full unit choice)

  • Sponge City principles for climate-resilient urban water design

  • On-site amenities: EDEKA supermarket, bakery, café on the ground floor
