Design

The Edge East Side Tower was built on the area west of Warschauer Street on Warschauer Brücke, right next to the railroad tracks. With its height, it is an eye-catcher at this location and is part of the Mediaspree, one of the largest urban development projects in Berlin.

The office space amounts to around 65,000 m2. Nine floors were built on a rectangular base with a grid pattern all around. A staircase-like curtain wall begins above, which is evenly distributed over the remaining floors. In addition to the office space, the first two floors are open to the public and have restaurants, cafés and event rooms. The client also planned a bar on the roof of the tower.[4]

Double-decker elevators from Kone are installed in the building.
