The Golda-Meir Bridge for the Europacity in the centre of Berlin is reaching the final stages of construction. Built in a Bavarian steel factory by the Danube, the seven segments, each weighting 30 tonnes, have been assembled in the Deggendorf harbour, in southern Germany. During August, the segments were welded into one continuous 77m long deck. In September, the completed structure will be painted with 7 layers of anti-corrosion paint and a final layer of anti-graffiti coating, before the 200t heavy structure will be loaded onto a canal barge.  The barge will make the 1600km journey to Berlin via canals and 64 locks over 12 days in October. Once installed, the bridge will create a new link between the former East and West Berlin territories, previously separated by the canal and the Berlin Wall.

Mamsha Gardens draws inspiration from the natural surroundings of the island and boasts signature landscaped gardens in which residents can relax and unwind. The gardens will feature water-efficient irrigation systems and a selection of native plant species, ensuring that the landscape thrives with minimal resource consumption.

The development features seven residential buildings comprising 493 homes thoughtfully designed with premium finishes and fittings. The development features a range of amenities, including two centrally located pavilions with gyms, yoga, Pilates and meditation rooms, as well as swimming pools, kids’ play areas, a multi-use games area, underground parking, bike storage, and residents’ lounges with workspaces and lounge seating. 

Mamsha Gardens will also include restaurants with outdoor dining terraces and shops, as well as a community theatre and separate retail underground parking. The locations of each of these spaces have been strategically designed to attract foot traffic and provide a vibrant social space while affording residents the utmost privacy.

In line with Aldar’s goals to promote sustainable living and building practices, the development is targeting a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and a 3-star rating from Fitwel - the world’s leading certification system for optimising building health and wellness outcomes. 50% of both retail and residential parking will be EV ready, and residents will have several pedestrian routes to explore.
