Berlin’s Pankow district welcomes 140 sustainable rental apartments by 2028
Developer Livory has received planning approval for 140 new rental apartments in Berlin’s Pankow district. The project, located on Schönensche Straße, aims to address the city’s housing shortage by converting a former commercial site into modern living spaces. Construction is set to finish by mid-2028.
The development will span seven above-ground floors plus a three-story garden house, offering around 7,140 square metres of living spaces. Apartments will range from one to three rooms, catering to different household needs.
Sustainability is a key focus, with buildings meeting the Efficiency House 40 standard. They will also qualify for DGNB Gold certification and EU Taxonomy climate adaptation criteria. Heating will come from fossil-free air-source heat pumps, supported by photovoltaic panels and a heat-recovery ventilation system. Residents will benefit from strong transport links, including nearby tram, S-Bahn, and U-Bahn stations. Drivers will have easy access to federal roads and motorways, connecting them to central Berlin and beyond. Livory specialises in diverse housing solutions, from subsidised rentals to student micro-apartments and senior living. This project continues their approach of repurposing underused sites to ease housing demand in the capital.
The 140-unit scheme is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2028. Once finished, it will provide energy-efficient homes with low-carbon heating and excellent transport connections. The development forms part of broader efforts to increase Berlin’s housing supply through sustainable urban renewal.
