Berlin. The federal capital is growing and growing. The economy has been booming for years. Startups and established giants, SMEs and global corporations, talent and skilled professionals – they are all drawn here. Education and research in the metropolis on the Spree enjoy a first-rate reputation around the world. Politicians, political parties, diplomacy, institutions and associations make Berlin the city of decisions. All too often, however, the focus is only on Berlin-Mitte. Yet Western Berlin has much to offer in all these areas.
There are numerous legends all over Berlin’s City-West. For many years, the cultural and economic heart of the city beat here. Tiergarten, Tauentzienstrasse, the Zoo railway station and, of course, Kurfürstendamm – anyone who was anyone in Berlin was drawn here. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, things initially quietened down a bit.
However, more recently, City-West has been experiencing an astonishing resurgence. Business and research are practically exploding, and it’s no wonder! National and international companies and corporations, major brands, luxury boutiques and traditional shops, insider tips, hip bars and luxurious hotels can be found among the historic structures and style-defining new buildings.
Directly opposite the world-famous Berlin Zoo, on one of the most prominent corners in Western Berlin, is Westlight, whose unique crystalline façade has been a sign of the new Western Berlin visible from afar since 2020.
Westlight is unique in Berlin. The figures alone make that clear: 60 metres high, 16 storeys, 2 basement levels, 110 parking spaces, 3 outdoor terraces, 19,500 sqm providing generous space for modern companies and excellent vistas, and not only from the luxurious roof terrace.
With its style-defining, striking crystalline architecture, the building also sets new aesthetic standards. The octagonal floor plan makes it appear in a different, fascinating light from every angle.
The technical equipment also leaves nothing to be desired. Westlight was built to meet every highest standard.
The 19,500 sqm at Westlight enable forward-thinking workplace concepts. The storeys have a floor area of 1,000 and 1,300 sqm, respectively, divisible into up to four units. Various space configurations are possible within each unit.
Westlight also lives up to its name on the inside: all the areas are flooded with natural daylight. Two smaller outdoor terraces and the large roof terrace at the very top of the building provide excellent views of Berlin.
The technical equipment also leaves nothing to be desired: a modern ventilation system and opening windows, an effective double façade with built-in protection from the sun, highly efficient and fast heated/chilled ceilings, four lifts and high-speed data cabling ensure pleasant, comfortable working conditions.
The basement levels are home to the spacious underground car park with parking spaces for cars and bicycles, plus changing rooms and showers. Two outdoor terraces and a large roof terrace provide excellent vistas.
Westlight offers ultra-modern, ideally equipped office spaces from 250 sqm that can be freely planned according to the tenants’ wishes. Open space or individual offices, shared desk concepts or collaborative areas, meeting or quiet areas – the spaces in Westlight are equipped for everything modern working may require.

It is intended exclusively for renting to tenants subject to sales tax with the right to full input tax deduction.
The two basement levels are home to an underground car park with 110 parking spaces. There is also something here for cyclists: storage facilities, showers and changing rooms. The bright and spacious lobby and retail areas are located on the ground floor.
The first 15 storeys are reserved for highly flexible, prestigious office space. Each storey can be divided into 4 separate units, creating office space ranging from 250 to 1,300 sqm that can be freely planned by the tenants.
There are only a few structural limits to any floorplan ideas they may have. Ultra-modern office layouts for new ways of working are just as feasible as traditional offices in every conceivable configuration: individual, open-plan or combination offices are, of course, possible. All the spaces share a common technical infrastructure that is absolutely top-notch and designed for the future.
City-West is unique, even by Berlin’s standards. Here you will find historical parks, modern architecture, popular residential areas, and world-famous landmarks. Berlin’s economy rubs shoulders with global brands. Tourists rub shoulders with native Berliners. Corporations rub shoulders with traditional shops. Accordingly, you can find everything here that makes everyday life enjoyable: shopping, culture, restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities are just a stone’s throw from Westlight.
At the same time, this prestigious building is located in one of the best and most sought-after office locations in the heart of the city.
