– Investment volume of around €100 million
– 20,000 sqm of new laboratory and research space; total area 65,000 sqm
– Full redevelopment in several phases to be completed by 2030
– Sustainable refurbishment of existing buildings
– Redesign of outdoor spaces
Berlin, 28 November 2025 – Feldberg Capital (‘Feldberg’) has commenced the comprehensive redevelopment of the former Osram Courtyards (‘Ehemalige Osram-Höfe’) in Berlin-Mitte.
Over the coming years, the listed industrial site, bordered by Oudenarder Strasse, Seestrasse, Groninger Strasse, and Liebenwalder Strasse, will be transformed into one of Germany’s largest life sciences campus projects. Approximately €100 million will be invested to reposition the historic ensemble.
The redevelopment will be carried out in several phases and is scheduled for completion by 2030.
Out of the total 65,000 sqm of rental space, around 20,000 sqm will initially be converted into state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities. These spaces will be gradually revitalised and leased to institutions and companies from the life sciences sector.
The aim is to create a forward-looking ecosystem for research, development and innovation: resource-efficient, CO₂-optimised, and committed to the highest standards of sustainability and quality of life. The Osram Courtyards are already home to leading tenants including Charité, the German Heart Centre, and several laboratory companies. Additional users span sectors from retail and policing to brewing.
Feldberg took over the asset in mid-2024 and has now launched the implementation phase. In addition to expanding laboratory and office capacity, the project includes a wide-ranging energy-efficiency retrofit (subject to heritage regulations), the refurbishment of roof structures and a full redesign of the outdoor areas.
The updated landscape concept will introduce green spaces and high-quality public spaces to foster a contemporary urban environment where work, life and residential uses can coexist seamlessly.
All works are being closely coordinated with heritage authorities.
“The former Osram Courtyards offer ideal conditions for the development of a modern life sciences campus – both structurally and in terms of location,” says Rodney Bysh, CEO of Feldberg. “We are proud to lead this iconic Berlin industrial landmark into the future – creating long-term value for our investors, the city, and Germany as a business hub. This repositioning lays the foundation for highly qualified jobs in one of the most dynamic future industries, while strengthening the life sciences cluster of the Berlin-Brandenburg region.”
The former Osram Courtyards reflect more than a century of industrial history. In 1904, Germany’s first lightbulbs were produced here by the Bergmann-Elektricitäts-Werke AG. After being acquired by Osram in 1935, the factory became one of the largest lamp production sites in Europe and served as Osram’s German headquarters until the late 1980s – a prominent symbol of Berlin’s industrial heritage.
Modern laboratory space is in high demand in the Berlin-Brandenburg region, particularly facilities that meet strict standards for safety, functionality and technical infrastructure. This demand covers both large units and modular configurations, including hybrid combinations of laboratory, office and storage areas – all of which can be accommodated flexibly at the former Osram Courtyards.
