Berlin Senate to Decide on Major Housing Plan for Pankow District

The proposed Blankenburger Süden development includes 8,600 apartments and integrated community infrastructure, with a decision expected today.

The Berlin Senate is set to review and potentially approve the usage concept for the Blankenburger Süden urban district today at 10 AM.
The project aims to address Berlin's housing shortage by constructing 8,600 apartments across a 4-kilometer-long and 2.5-kilometer-wide area in Pankow.
Plans include essential infrastructure such as schools, kindergartens, roads, bike lanes, and improved public transport connections.
The Blankenburger Süden project is part of a broader effort by Berlin to meet its target of 20,000 new apartments annually, which has not yet been achieved.
Other ongoing housing projects include developments in Köpenick (1,500 apartments) and Tempelhof (500 apartments), approved by the Senate in March.
