Cologne/Heidelberg- ipartment is expanding its portfolio to include a further building with 119 fully furnished serviced flats in Heidelberg Innovation Park (‘hip’). The project is being built at Palo-Alto-Platz 5-9 as part of the ‘PROXY’ new-build project and is being realised architecturally by Kolb + Partner as the owner and the Kolb/Hofmann planning office.
"With the location in Heidelberg Innovation Park, we are focussing on an exciting, forward-looking environment. The mix of technology, innovation and urban living fits perfectly with our concept: design-orientated, flexible living for modern nomads. We are particularly pleased to be realising this project together with Kolb + Partner - a partnership that has already proven its worth and which we greatly value. We are looking forward to developing another strong building together," says Ralph Stock, partner and CEO of ipartment GmbH.
The new building project consists of two building structures with a total area of around 13,600 square metres, which are connected by an attractively designed and landscaped inner courtyard. ipartment will occupy a total of 4,850 square metres of serviced flat space on the three upper floors of the L-shaped building, while digital service concepts such as digital pop-up spaces and an inviting café will be created on the ground floor, which will also contribute to the quality of stay for ipartment guests.
The fully equipped flats with high-quality designer furniture will be available in categories ranging from XS to L. An inviting lobby with a self-check-in desk, a digital self-service kiosk and a spacious roof terrace round off the offer.
In the neighbouring I-building, with a total area of approx. 4,500 square metres, a children's daycare centre and, above it, office space of 190 - 3,000 square metres flexibly tailored to the customer, which is currently still available. Both buildings will be constructed to the passive house standard, ensuring low energy consumption.
Heidelberg Innovation Park is positioning itself as an attractive location for companies from the IT, digital and Industry 4.0 sectors. With optimal connections to public transport, the A5 and A656 motorways as well as bus and tram connections, the ‘hip’ offers an excellent infrastructure for business travellers and temporary residents.
