TIME TRAVEL

From the purchase to the keystone

It has been a long journey that is now coming to an end. Almost 20 years have passed from the purchase of the former military site to the completion of the magnificent Sophienterrassen urban quarter in Hamburg-Harvestehude with the construction of SOPHIE as the keystone. Years that were characterized by many highlights, but also by challenges.
