New life in the ring center: REWE and gym are moving in!
The RingCenter III in Berlin-Lichtenberg has been empty since the retailer Galeria-Kaufhof has closed its gates. However, the owner, the Becken-Immobilien group, has already found new tenants who are supposed to bring a breath of fresh air to the once busy shopping center. The REWE supermarket chain will open a branch on the ground floor, while a gym can be found in the basement. The official handover of the two new tenants are planned for September 2025.
Senator for Economic Affairs Franziska Giffey is optimistic and expresses hope that life will return to the building in early 2026. "It is important to end the vacancy to avoid vandalism and other problems," emphasizes Giffey. In parallel to the new rental contracts, the development of a new high -rise building will also be promoted, which should further increase the attractiveness of the location.
strengthened infrastructure and future plans
The planned construction work provides for a high -rise up to 128 meters high, with the Berlin construction college recommending a maximum height of 100 meters. In the new building, both retail space and offices and possibly public uses are to be created. The construction work on the Ring Center III began in early 2025, and pelvic real estate is already in the installation of the development plan.
Investors like Dieter Becken highlight the attractive location at the Frankfurter Allee S- and U-Bahnhof, which is referred to as the "Gate at the city center". This infrastructure is seen as an important factor for the economic strengthening of the location. Lichtenberg's mayor Martin Schaefer is also satisfied with the developments in the ring center. The construction phases of the A100, which are to run over the Frankfurter Allee and the flat roof of the neighboring ring center 2, could give additional impulses for the region.
economic framework and urban development
The urban development plan Economic Affairs 2040 plays a central role in this context. Like berlin.de , this plan aims to activate and secure space for companies, especially for industry and production. A central goal of the plan is to activate commercial areas as well as their efficient use to accompany the economic structural change.
Overall, the further development of the Ring Center III is perceived as a clear commitment to Lichtenberg, with the aim of strengthening the district both economically and socially. After the closures in retail, the new plans are a welcome change and a ray of hope for the residents and surrounding shops.
