The buildings in GoWest have 5 to 6 floors and an impressive landscape is being created on their roofs: Germany’s largest rooftop garden is being realized in GoWest with approximately 15,000 m\u00b2. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and even our own bee honey will be delivered directly to the tables of the quarter’s users via short routes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To allow the largest possible area for use by horticulture and commercial tenants, much of the photovoltaics will be elevated. This creates space for professional farming and at the same time provides shade for plants and people.  <\/span>

Bees were already established on the project site in the spring of 2018. Surrounded by the Schmargendorf allotments, they have quickly become at home here. Last year, our beekeepers spun 190 kg of the finest neighborhood honey in organic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In GoWest, we are planning an energetically optimized quarter through the use of both passive and active measures:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
