Zurich, Switzerland/Hamburg, Germany, May 19th, 2011 – Today the foundation stone was laid for the Harvestehuder Weg 36 project by Switzerland-based Peach Property Group AG. At this unique site adjacent to the Outer Alster lake in Hamburg, 63 luxury condominiums in the top price segment are being built in two phases. The first phase at Alsterkamp 43 is scheduled to be complete in spring 2012.
The prominent location at Harvestehuder Weg is the site of the former Blohm Villa, well-known for its legendary porcelain collection, portions of which can be viewed today at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. Following the partial destruction of the Blohm Villa during World War II, a contemporary-style development was erected during the sixties. Now a new interpretation of the classic white Alster villa architecture can be found at this exclusive address.
„Our project, which has been integrated with great care and attention to detail into the overall concept of the Alster lake shores, is meant to make the flair and intrinsic quality of its location palpable – not only for the residents, but also for passers-by and visitors of the Outer Alster,“ says Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, CEO of Peach Property Group AG. „The response has been gratifying – half of the condominiums in the first phase of construction at Alsterkamp are already sold.“
The premises, divided into two segments at Harvestehuder Weg 36 and Alsterkamp 43, owe their allure to their singular location on the Outer Alster of Hamburg with its traditional historical villas. Allocated among five new villas, 63 apartments are being built, with living spaces ranging from 80 to 280 m². The buildings at Harvestehuder Weg 36 are a new interpretation of the classic white Alster villa, with unadorned lines, large window areas and tiered terraces. The five residences are named after traditional vessel names of the Hapag shipping company in Hamburg – Arcadia, Belgravia, Columbia, Hammonia and Rhaetia.
„The design is authentic, emotional and forward-looking,“ says Jürgen Göttsch, who co-designed the architecture with Jutta Czerner. „The buildings are conceived to create individual urban spaces, which convey a sense of openness and communication.“
The new residents can avail themselves of amenities such as a private fitness and spa area, as well as 145 underground parking spaces with direct elevator access to some of the apartments. Ceilings are 3 meters high, and even higher, at 3.2 meters, on ground floors. Sales prices for the apartments begin at approximately 7’500 Euro/m². Peach Property is expecting the total sales volume to be approximately 85 million Euro at its Harvestehuder Weg 36 estate.
