Berlin’s Anna Lindh House Sets New Standard for Carbon-Neutral Offices by 2026
A new sustainable office building, the Anna Lindh House, is under construction in Berlin’s Europacity. Located near Berlin Central Station, the project aims for full carbon neutrality and is set to finish by 2026. Developer CA Immo is leading the effort, which forms part of a larger urban vision for the area.
The Anna Lindh House will span around 15,000 square meters, offering flexible office space alongside a lobby café and 800 square meters of rooftop terraces. Its timber-hybrid design uses wood for structural supports, beams, and floors, cutting CO₂ emissions by roughly a third compared to traditional construction.
The building will run without fossil fuels, ensuring energy use stays below legal limits. However, its location presents major technical hurdles due to multiple U-Bahn and S-Bahn tunnels beneath the site. To manage these challenges, the project team is applying Lean Construction principles, streamlining coordination between trades and dependencies. Named in memory of Swedish politician Anna Lindh, assassinated in 2003, the building honours her work in promoting a united and peaceful Europe. It is one of several developments in CA Immo’s Europacity plan, which also includes the Upbeat Berlin high-rise complex and a redesigned Europaplatz.
Once completed, the Anna Lindh House will stand as a model of sustainable urban development. Its low-carbon design and energy-efficient operations align with Berlin’s environmental goals. The project also reinforces Europacity’s role as a key area for future growth in the capital.
