Upper West is a mixed-used skyscraper in Berlin, Germany. It is located at Breitscheidplatz in the City West area of Berlin, next to the high-rise Zoofenster. It opened on May 3, 2017, and was designed by Christoph Langhof and KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten (Berlin).

Building

[edit]

The Upper West is situated in the district of Charlottenburg in Berlin. It has 33 floors and a height of 118.8 metres (390 ft) and was constructed from spring 2013 to March 2017.[3] The building is the 5th tallest building in Berlin after Edge East Side 142 metres (466 ft), Park Inn & Treptowers, both 125 metres (410 ft) and Steglitzer Kreisel, 120 metres (394 ft).

Usage

[edit]

The lower floors contain 3,900 m2 of retail space. The first 19 floors above are occupied by the Hotel chain Motel One with 582 rooms.[4] The commercial law firm Görg, including an insolvency administrator, has leased floors 20–23 as well as partial areas on the 19th and 25th floors.[5] A real estate company and an online marketing company moved in above the 25th floor. A Skybar was supposed to open on the 33rd floor, but this has not yet happened.

The developer, the US company RFR Holding, sold the high-rise in November 2017 to Signa Holding, the real estate and trading company founded by René Benko,[6] whose Berlin office is located on the 31st and 32nd floors.
