Upper Eastside Berlin

Upper Eastside Berlin is a complex of five separate buildings at Friedrichstrasse and Unter den Linden, each faced with Roman travertine stone. The eight-story ensemble contains shops, offices, and residential units in a unified architectural arrangement.

The Hotel Victoria once stood at this location, opening in 1859 as a prominent gathering place near Friedrichstrasse station. It was destroyed during World War II, and the current ensemble was built later as a new development on the same site.

The name Upper Eastside echoes the area's transformation from a historic hotel district into a mixed-use hub. People today navigate these spaces for shopping, work, and daily errands, creating a layered urban experience.

The complex sits at a central transport hub and is easily accessible from multiple directions with entrances on several sides. Underground parking is available, and the surrounding area is pedestrian-friendly with numerous shops and cafes nearby.

The complex was designed by three different architecture firms, with each group contributing different approaches to the facades and interior organization. This collaboration resulted in the five buildings each having distinct character despite their close proximity.
