Estrel Tower Berlin Germany
A new architectural masterpiece will characterise the capital's skyline in the future: the Estrel Tower in Berlin's Neukölln district celebrated its topping-out ceremony last week. With an impressive height of 176 metres, the tower will be the tallest building in Berlin. Only the television tower at Alexanderplatz rises even higher into the sky.

Berlin Erstrel Tower topping out ceremony

The Estrel Tower will permanently change the skyline of Berlin and is an important symbol of the city's growth and further development. Located directly opposite the well-known Estrel Hotel, the building represents a milestone in the urban design of Neukölln. Completion is planned for 2026 and will add another architectural highlight to the capital.

The topping-out ceremony was celebrated in the presence of numerous guests from the worlds of politics, business and architecture. The city of Berlin sees the project as a significant step towards promoting economic development and enriching the urban landscape. The Estrel Tower will not only impress with its imposing appearance, but also with the functionality of the building. Office space, hotels and modern flats are planned, making the tower a versatile centre for work, recreation and leisure activities.

The construction of the Estrel Tower will have a lasting impact on Berlin's cityscape. We congratulate the owners on this milestone and look forward to seeing this impressive project take shape.
