OFFICES: Hamburg-based management consultancy WAYES moves its headquarters to Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier! The letting of office space at the mixed-use quartier continues to progress successfully. The Hamburg-based management consultancy WAYES, which focuses on restructuring, litigation, transactions, planning, interim management and tax consultancy, and URW have signed a long-term office lease agreement.   WAYES will move into an area of 1,500 sqm on the top two floors (12th & 13th) of the “Luv” building.

In addition to the almost fully let office buildings Lee (10,500 sqm) and The Yard (8,000 sqm), letting is also progressing in the Luv building.   Stefan Wechsung, Konrad Martin and Falk Schnurbusch, Hamburg partners at WAYES: “The investment in modern and larger office space is an investment in the future - we are continuing to grow and naturally want to honour this. The urban environment of HafenCity, where change is constant, is exactly the right address for us. Here we can not only continue our growth trajectory, but also attract new talent and develop innovative ideas that will take us forward.”   Jakub Skwarlo, Chief Operating Officer Central Europe at URW: “The exceptional location of the offices at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, directly on river Elbe with excellent public transport connections and the immediate vicinity of retail, dining and leisure facilities makes it an ideal place to bring teams together. We are delighted that WAYES, a Hamburg-based company, has chosen the Luv office building as its new headquarter.

#ThrivingCommunities: This week, Bianka Petri, School Principal of Schule Auf Der Veddel, Thorsten Altenburg-Hack, Head of School Authority of the City of Hamburg, Ralf Neubauer, Head of the District Office for the district Hamburg-Mitte, and Theda Juliane Mustroph, Quarter Manager at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier came together on the grounds of the school “Schule auf der Veddel” to inaugurate a new kiosk.   The kiosk, a pavilion made of glass and steel, was donated by Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier to support an initiative founded by pupils in 2023 to sell snacks and drinks on the school grounds. A special feature of the pupils' initiative is that they sell the goods themselves. Originally, the pavilion was a prototype for pop-up kiosks at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, which had already been tested at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield’s #RuhrPark in Bochum. In the interests of using resources and materials responsibly and supporting the communities, the aim was clear: to reuse the kiosk. The school "Schule auf der Veddel" has been awarded the contract for the subsequent use of the prototype. As a part of its #BetterPlaces sustainability agenda, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield is committed to make a contribution to the social development of the cities and communities in which the company operates. The kiosk will initially be set up at the temporary location in Tunnelstrasse and will find its permanent home once the renovated school campus on Castellonstieg has been completed. We are pleased to be able to support the school and its pupils and contribute to a more attractive school environment.
