HafenCity covers an area of 157 hectares, making it one of the most
prominent inner-city waterfront development projects in the world. Based
on new concept for urban living, it will increase the size of Hamburg
City by 40 percent. Between the historic Speicherstadt
warehouse district and the River Elbe, new city with cosmopolitan
mix of homes, service businesses, culture, leisure, tourism and commerce
is emerging. The
development (to circa 2025) is being managed by HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, 100-percent subsidiary of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. HafenCity is already rated as the model project for international waterfront
development.
