Location
Wedding is calling
COURTYARD LIVING is located in the Wedding district, bordered by Charlottenburg to the west, Reinickendorf to the north and Pankow to the east. Once a traditional working-class neighbourhood, Wedding is now undergoing a dynamic transformation. From refurbishments and densification projects to new recreational areas and sustainable mobility concepts, the district is evolving at pace. The immediate surroundings of our apartments – including the neighbouring Antonkiez quarter – are also on the rise, well on their way to becoming an even more desirable place to live.

CONCEPT
Sustainable Coziness
Even if you do not plan to move in yourself and benefit directly from the reduced operating costs, as an investor you will profit from strong rental demand – as sustainable living is becoming increasingly important to tenants. Not only to save costs, but also to contribute to climate protection.
EFFICIENT: For the energy supply of both the apartments and the shared areas, COURTYARD LIVING relies on environmentally friendly district heating, complemented by an efficient photovoltaic system.
HIGHER RETURNS: Higher cold rent at the same total rent level compared to a conventional new-build property – offering landlords a clear advantage without competitive drawbacks.
MAXIMUM COMFORT: Thanks to healthy building materials, high-quality finishes and carefully selected interior details.*
ALREADY INCLUDED: High-quality fitted kitchen with branded appliances and bathroom furnishings.
* The wine cooler shown in the visualisation is not included in the standard specification.
