HafenCity Dresden

Location & development

Unique flair

The HafenCity development is one of the real estate hotspots in the city of Dresden. Located directly at the Neustädter Hafen on the Elbe, it offers a unique flair. HafenCity is a very special project from USD Immobilien GmbH, impressively and creatively designed through a series of architectural competitions.

Such a complex area, which influences urban development on a larger scale, requires very intensive planning and lots of good ideas. Numerous planners, architects together with USD have planned every single part of the property in great detail in order to turn HafenCity into an impressive urban zone.

HafenCity is long-established
as a prestige property in Dresden

HafenCity started in 2015 with the start of work on the Melkus Villa. The renovation of this heritage-listed building was completed in 2017. The creative centre was also completed and handed over in December 2018 - a modern commercial complex with shops, studios, practice spaces and office lofts.

In July 2021, the ARCOTEL Hafencity was opened with a total of 181 rooms. With more than 4 million overnight stays per year, Dresden is one of the most popular tourist regions in Germany. The further development of HafenCity is regulated by the B-Plan No. 357 B Dresden and No. 39 Leipziger Straße/Neustädter Hafen. House F along Leipziger Straße with 71 apartments was handed over to the owners in July 2021, before the planned completion date. House G with a proud 93 apartments, also along Leipziger Strasse, fits seamlessly into this successful timeline. This building was also handed over to the owners in January 2022, ahead of the planned completion date. We are also building city villas on the Elbe bend directly on the promenade. The structural envelopes of these 5 residential buildings are already completed and the homes will be handed over to buyers at the end of 2023.

We started building houses J, K and L in early 2022. Completion will take place by the 3rd quarter of 2024. The crowning glory of Hafencity will be Haus H - the "Haus am Stadtplatz". All buildings have been completed to date or are about to be completed. This ensures a good mix of high-quality residential buildings with leisure facilities, cafés and commercial premises. A total of around 341 residential and commercial units will be built on the site. With the completion of the "Haus am Stadtplatz", expected at the end of 2025, the entire Hafencity Dresden area will come to an impressive and glamorous conclusion.

Dresden – the best decision!

A very good connection to the motorway and local public transport networks as well as short distances to the city centre further increase the attractiveness of this location. The Neustadt train station is only a ten-minute walk away, the tram stops right in front of HafenCity and Dresden's famous old town can be reached in about 20 minutes on foot, preferably directly via the enchanting Elbe(rad)weg.

Also nearby you will find the baroque Königstraße with its upscale shopping facilities. But shops for everyday needs and, of course, schools such as the new Dresden-Pieschen grammar school as well as children's facilities and doctors are close to home and easily accessible.

With Dresden's Elbe meadows, you will find one of the largest local recreation areas in the Saxon state capital, including the Elbe cycle path, right on your doorstep. The tranquility of the future upscale harbourfront flair on the Elbe side, the moving, colorful Neustadt lifestyle with countless bars and trendy cafés just a 15-minute walk away, as well as the relaxed view of the Elbe right on your doorstep - all this makes this part of the city unique and guarantees an outstanding new residential area in Dresden.
