The "Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck" project is located on one of the last undeveloped plots directly at the Gleisdreieck subway station, in close proximity to Potsdamer Platz. With foresight and creative vision, a sustainable district is being created that is flexible and responsive to developments and changing user needs.

The park, opened in 2013 and spanning 26 hectares at Gleisdreieck, offers expansive meadows, tree cover, as well as play and sports areas. Thanks to direct access to the subway lines U1 and U2, several bus lines, and the nearby Yorkstraße S-Bahn train station, the area is excellently connected and easily accessible by car.
The location and character of the property present many opportunities, but also challenges. Therefore, the owner prioritised an extensive dialogue early on: in workshop discussions, perspectives from citizens and experts were gathered, evaluated, and translated into clear tasks for further planning.

After an intensive jury session, COBE Berlin and Ortner & Ortner Baukunst emerged as the winners of the urban planning competition. Their designs unanimously prevailed over five other concepts, impressing the jury and the clients with their quality and vision. The design by Ortner & Ortner now forms the basis for the master plan of a vibrant and sustainable urban quarter at Gleisdreieck.
