At the heart of Berlin’s vibrant Ostkreuz district, Kintyre is transforming an existing office property into r:eo, a visionary urban campus spanning 76,000 square metres. Designed to go far beyond conventional offices, r:eo is a dynamic, multifunctional destination where work, leisure, and lifestyle seamlessly intersect. Complemented by hotels, services, and leisure facilities, it creates a lively, connected environment that inspires creativity, collaboration, and community.
The campus comprises interconnected buildings rising 7 to 12 floors, each featuring green roof terraces that provide tranquil retreats above the city while actively contributing to Berlin’s urban ecology. The existing structures are undergoing a comprehensive renovation, aligned with the ambitious 1.5 °C climate target, combining advanced energy-efficient technologies with innovative design solutions. Every detail is optimised to ensure sustainability, comfort, and adaptability, creating a future-ready workplace that meets the highest standards of urban development.
Sustainability is at the core of r:eo. The project is on track for LEED Gold certification, underlining its commitment to environmentally responsible construction. The use of low-emission, innovative materials and energy- efficient systems minimises the carbon footprint, while green terraces, efficient energy management, and sustainable building practices enhance the well- being of employees, visitors, and the surrounding community. r:eo exemplifies how ambitious urban projects can combine ecological responsibility with modern design and functionality.

It sets new benchmarks for flexible workspaces, sustainable construction, and urban lifestyle, blending business, leisure, and community into a single cohesive environment. Here, innovation thrives, connections flourish, and Berlin’s future is being shaped one green terrace and intelligently designed space at a time.
