In Cologne’s Neustadt-Süd district, between the historic town centre and Volksgarten park, a building is under development that puts people centre stage – SR75. Open and bright, terraced towards the green inner courtyard, and built to the strictest sustainability requirements, it offers a stimulating and motivating environment that encourages new ways to think and work.
With a population of 1.1 million, it is the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth-largest in Germany, the population centre of the Rhineland metro region, part of the Rhine-Ruhr metro region (home to more than 11 million people) while also being an administrative district, an industrial and media city, transportation node, the country’s carnival capital and one of the oldest cities in Germany – but while all of this is true, it hardly captures the essence of Cologne.
What makes Cologne so attractive is its liberal way of life which is defined by cosmopolitan open-mindedness and tolerance. Neustadt-Süd, a quarter dating back to the Belle Époque, borders on the Südstadt part of Cologne, both localities capturing the city’s conviviality. They are the most “local colour” districts of Cologne.
Sachsenring is part of a successive series of streets that, while collecting forming a ring road, each boast the name “ring.” Constructed in the late 18th century as a splendid boulevard, the ring road circles the historic town centre in a crescent. Its Sachsenring section was earmarked for development with mansions, a fact that is reflected to this day in generous green spaces and period building structures. SR75 is located inside a pedestrianised part that features bicycle lanes, a green belt and a tram track – thus combining optimal transportation links in all directions with an up-market setting.
SR75 is a new structure inspired by a new idea. And you will sense it in every aspect of the building. From the highly efficient building shell (hybrid timber construction) to its rainwater retention system, garden, apiary and its biodiversity concept in general.
From solar power generation and groundwater-based geothermal heating all the way to the perfect infrastructure for bicycles and electric mobility: The place is uncompromising in its ambition.
And it is in the process of being certified to DGNB Platinum, the highest rating.
The units of SR75 are bright, open and optimally set up for diverse types of use, whatever tomorrow’s work spheres require. Meeting areas, quiet zones, focus offices, kitchenettes, single desks, phone boxes, common areas: SR75 is designed to be the perfect home for collaborative work as part of the knowledge economy. To put it simply: People will love to come to this place.

The immediate vicinity of SR75 is dotted with welcoming cafés and restaurants. Volksgarten park lies within easy walking distance. A five-minute bicycle ride takes you to the vibrant student quarter called “Kwartier Latäng.” Public transportation links to the inner city, railway stations and the airport are swift and easy to use – and yet you almost feel as if you were out in the countryside.
