Light Industrial & Office Complex

In the heart of Berlin´s working-class Moabit district and on the 2,250 sqm historical 1930s site of the REO company´s industrial plant, we are developing a mixed-used light industrial complex. The existing production and office space at the rear of the site will be complemented by a flexible front building with six floors and approx. 3,200 sqm of rental space. This block-edge development will restore the typical Berlin street setback and harmonise the streetscape. With a focus on energy efficiency and optimising access, we are also successively modernising the existing buildings.

Since August 2021, INBRIGHT`s headquarters are located here.

Location and Connection

Erasmusstraße is located between the Huttenkiez in the north and the Charlottenburger Spreebogen in the south. The surrounding area is characterised by a mix of residential and commercial buildings. Since 2018, increased new construction activity has been observed of both high-quality owner-occupied apartments and commercial properties. The neighbourhood is lively and offers diverse culinary experiences. The neighbours include companies such as Siemens, Menzel Elektromotoren, Porsche, Atotech, Horn&Görwitz, the Frauenhofer Institute, and many more.

Several bus lines stop within a radius of 350 m around the object. The nearest underground and suburban train stations are both 1 km away, and the A100 city motorway can be reached in 4 minutes. The main train station is 3.5 km away and can be reached by bicycle or e-scooter in just 13 minutes.

History

In the 70s, many guest workers from numerous countries settled in Moabit and still shape the multicultural life of the district to this day. Following the German reunification, Moabit shifted back into the centre of Berlin close to the new federal buildings and the main train station. Since 2010, the district has attracted students, start-ups, and established companies, as well as research institutions. 
REO was founded in Berlin in 1925 and initially produced resistors and transformers at the Erasmusstraße site. Today, the company develops and produces a large number of electric components, amongst others for vehicle and railway engineering as well as medical, testing, and conveyor technologies. REO employs 400 workers at 11 locations worldwide. In the immediate vicinity of Erasmusstraße is also the famous AEG turbine factory, where gas turbines have been produced since 1909.

Fixed Bottom Links

How we derived Our ESG strategy

In an initial workshop, we first developed core values for our company. The development of an ESG strategy for INBRIGHT is based on this: main topics were determined and validated based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a two-day workshop. On the one hand, the topics result from the requirements of national and international industry standards and frameworks, such as DGNB, LEED and GRESB, and, on the other hand, from general sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Sustainable Development Goals. The list of topics was ultimately supplemented by specific industry requirements from the Light Industrial area. The collection of topics was classified based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a materiality assessment using a two-dimensional matrix with the dimensions “Relevance to business” and “Effects on the government and society”. The topics with the highest values in both dimensions, and hence being above the materiality threshold, form the basis of our ESG strategy or our sustainability programme. The materiality assessment is revalidated annually with the participation of internal and external stakeholders and the assessment of the topics is adjusted accordingly. 

Our Contribution to the sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the member states of the United Nations.
They set a road map for the sustainable social, economic and environmental transformation of our world by 2030.

The SDGs also offer us as a company a framework for contributing to a positive future for the world. Our ESG strategy is our contribution to tackling the greatest worldwide challenges, especially to achieving the following SDGs:

We respect diversity, a fair pay and participation structure and the indivdual promotion of out team members, thus contributing to equality of opportunity.

Economic success and a profitable investment strategy are for us the foundation for securing attractive jobs in the long term and contributing to healthy economic growth.

We promote a low-emission infrastructure by locating our properties close to existing residential areas, offering our tenants access to public transport. We modernise and reposition old industrial and commercial properties to make their use lower in emissions, cleaner and more flexible, thus making a noticeable contribution to sustainable industry.

When building and repairing our properties, we are careful to use innovative and engery-efficient systems so as to aviod unnecessary environmental pressures on the surrounding area. Wherever compatible with legislation and the comfort demands of our users, we reduce technical equipment to a minimum to promote the longevity of our properties.

We align both our company and our property projects to ESG criteria. This includes planning our properties in a way that is sparing of resources and ensures them a long useful life with maximum flexibility. We also maintain open interactions in the spirit of partnership with all those involved – from planners and building firms through to the eventual user.

Reducing emissions, especially CO2 emissions, has a high priority for us within our ESG strategy. We as a company aim to reduce and compensate for our CO2 footprint to make the most effective contribution we can to protecting the climate.
