The Hamburg-based project developer evoreal has performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Bramquartier in the Bramfeld district. State Councillor Jaqueline Charlier, District Administrator Thomas Ritzenhoff, and other project partners attended the ceremony in Moosrosenweg. The participants marked the start of the next construction phase by burying a time capsule.
Five point-block buildings with a total of 103 residential units are being constructed on a plot of approximately 5,660 square metres. The gross floor area will be around 13,440 square metres. The project volume amounts to about 55 million Euros. Construction work began in November 2025; completion is scheduled for early 2028.
Living Concept and Architectural Features
Of the 103 apartments, 81 are designed as owner-occupied flats in four buildings. Another building houses 22 publicly subsidised rental apartments. The owner-occupied flats offer two to four rooms and living areas between 48 and 110 square metres. Purchase prices start at 380,000 Euros, corresponding to 6,900 Euros per square metre. Susanne Gräff, Managing Director of evoreal, stated that the project would create a quarter that combines architectural quality and contemporary living. She emphasised that the project aims to develop places where people feel at home in the long term. Gräff added that interest in the project confirmed this orientation, as approximately 50 per cent of the apartments have already been sold or reserved.
The design for the Bramquartier comes from KPW Papay Warncke Vagt Architekten from Hamburg. The six- to seven-storey point-block buildings will feature individual clinker facades in various colour tones. Offset balconies, roof terraces, and private gardens complement the residential units. Green courtyards and paths are planned between the buildings. A public neighbourhood park with recreational and play areas forms the centre of the open space planning. Finn Warncke, partner and architect at KPW Papay Warncke Vagt Architekten, explained that the five point-block buildings were designed as independent structures that simultaneously form a cohesive ensemble. He elaborated that different clinker facades, the staggering of the building volumes, and the offset balconies give the houses their own identity, while the green intermediate spaces and the neighbourhood park link them into a common living environment.
Sustainability and Infrastructure
The buildings will be constructed to the energy-efficient EH-40 standard and supplied with district heating. A shared underground car park offers 78 car parking spaces, including e-charging points. Additionally, 244 bicycle parking spaces, including those for e-bikes and cargo bikes, will be available.
Jacqueline Charlier, State Councillor for the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, explained that in the coming years, a lively and mixed quarter with over 1,100 new apartments, including publicly subsidised housing, good infrastructure, and attractive green spaces, would emerge in Bramfeld around Moosrosenweg. She described this as one of the most significant housing development projects in the Wandsbek district and stressed that the Bramquartier, with 103 new apartments, represents an important building block for urban development around the main thoroughfare Bramfelder Chaussee.
The Bramquartier is part of a larger district development in the vicinity of the Otto headquarters. To the north, the Moosrosenquartier of the SAGA Unternehmensgruppe connects. Together, the Bramquartier and the neighbouring Moosrosenquartier will create more than 1,100 new residential units. These projects are embedded in Bramfeld's urban development, which is characterised, among other things, by the expansion of the U5 subway line and further new residential quarters. Thomas Ritzenhoff, District Administrator of Wandsbek, explained that the Bramquartier would create a forward-looking residential project that sustainably strengthens the Bramfeld district. He pointed out that the combination of high-quality housing, social mix, and attractive open spaces creates a vibrant quarter that meets the needs of local people and sets new standards for modern, affordable, and climate-protection-oriented living in the district.
