A splendid outlook for modern work spaces

Historical elements are preserved and combined with the highest standards of modernity and luxury to create innovative office concepts. A sought-after business address in a prime location is hence emerging in a sophisticated and evolving environment.
Well-preserved design elements lend a stately flair to the prestigious rooms of the Ballinhof

The prominent century house on Ballindamm 17 is to undergo complete renovation, along with rejuvenation measures. In addition to its outstanding location on the Inner Alster and its well-preserved historical design elements, the potential of the house is to be increased even further.

As part of the revitalisation, the floor plans will be re-structured and equipped with new technical installations. According to the plans, the main entrance is to be returned to its original location of 1921. In addition, the courtyard will be upgraded in the style of the Hackesche Höfe in Berlin – with a restored historical ceramic façade, terrace areas and attractive seating in the refurbished courtyard.

A haven of relaxation will thus be created in the heart of the city — as well as an open-air space where tenants of the building can get together. The highlight of the renovations, which will be completed by 2020, are the attractive roof terraces that offer splendid views of the city’s crenellations and, of course, of the Inner Alster.

Courtyard – a place to relax and socialise

Courtyards provide tranquillity. They create a world of their own − a haven in the heart of the city. It has always been that way. These sheltered open spaces are now being rediscovered − the Ballinhof is one of them.

Courtyard – a place to relax and socialise

Courtyards provide tranquillity. They create a world of their own − a haven in the heart of the city. It has always been that way. These sheltered open spaces are now being rediscovered − the Ballinhof is one of them.

There are many good examples of how courtyards can be revived within cities. The most famous one are the Hackesche Höfe, where restaurants invite visitors to take a peek behind the façade. With its building sections facing Gertrudenstraße and Ferdinandstraße, the Ballinhof forms a courtyard which can be used in a variety of ways. The plan is to create an open space with attractive seating areas that invite visitors to linger. Apart from the roof terraces, the open space is a place where employees of the building can enjoy moments of relaxation or hold meetings. The courtyard also opens the Ballinhof up to the city – the heart of Hamburg – that it forms part of. The stony and strict office building presents itself in an open and modern way.

The historical ceramic façade alone is worth a visit to the courtyard, which opens the house up to the city.

Premium gastronomy in the finest location

With its central location right next to lake Alster, the premium restaurant at the Ballinhof will attract locals and visitors alike.

The Ballindamm is set to become a spectacular boulevard. It already boasts a fantastic location and this year will also see Business Improvement Districts (BID) being launched at the Ballindamm, including road reconstruction measures. This is intended to create space for outdoor restaurants and seating along the Alster. The Ballinhof, too, will play its part in revitalising the area. On the ground floor, premises for an upmarket restaurant are being prepared, where guests can dine and enjoy the impressive atmosphere of this magnificent office building.

Infused with an international flair of haute cuisine, the Ballinhof will become a centre of attraction for visitors and tenants alike.

More than just a friendly “moin, moin”

What distinguishes the office of the future? That it makes you feel welcome. Part of that is being personally received by a concierge at the entrance.
