Hamburg's youngest and most modern district, HafenCity, is flourishing in a formerly disused port area – and most of it remains right on the water. Here there's everything that makes for good infrastructure: local suppliers and shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, doctors, art and culture – because here life is lived in the quarter between the Elbe and the old town. Despite all its critics, the district has quickly become one of the most popular addresses in Hamburg.

With FRANK in HafenCity, a green and colorful mixed residential and leisure area is being created that shines with future-oriented architecture and a sustainable concept. The heart of the largest harbor basin in HafenCity is Baakenpark, a multifunctional area with a green area of ​​around 16,000 m².

The multi-award-winning Baakenhafenbrücke and the new U4 underground line ensure the development of the eastern HafenCity and traffic management to the south of Hamburg. The Elbbrücken S-Bahn station connects the district to local public transport.

This so-called “urban village” is growing around the central Lola-Rogge-Platz with a market square, attractive shopping facilities, small shops, drugstores, doctors and pharmacies. An education and family center with a primary school and daycare center is also on board. The highlight, however, is and remains the view of the Elbe.
