"Internationales Handelszentrum (IHZ)" in Duesseldorf-Oberbilk Grows
Further
HOCHTIEF will begin construction work on the new MK6 office and retail block on Werdener
Strasse before the end of this year. Here, close to Duesseldorf Main Station, on what is at
present still an empty site, the company is to erect a five storey-building, providing about
5,100 sqm of floor space for offices and retail outlets. The design for the MK6 project is by
the Duesseldorf architects FFNS and Giese·Bohne. It was selected in a contest last year in
which six renowned architects’ offices participated.
HOCHTIEF HTP Projektentwicklung GmbH - the company’s project development subsidiary
- acquired the 1,700 sqm piece of land from the city in 1996. The IHZ Park is one of the last
remaining large housing and office sites in the inner-city area. „The closeness to the train
station, the good transport connections - underground railways and bus services - and also
its high-grade residential and leisure features make the MK6 project particularly attractive for
many investors“, says Dr. Frank Billand, CEO of HOCHTIEF HTP Projektentwicklung. He
pointed to the other housing in the area of the IHZ Park and the nearby shopping facilities
and restaurants as factors already assuring urban-style living quality.
