METRO PHASE ONE

ACME won the international competition for the Dusseldorf Flingern masterplan in 2021. The site has now been split into two parts, with Swiss Life acquiring the 73,200 sqm main site to realize the visionary, forward-looking long term masterplan. Swiss Life will be working with ACME to create a diversified urban district combining living and working space with gastronomy, retail and local recreational facilities. 1,500 units will provide new housing for the local population.

The first part of the site, the existing METRO AG and METRO Deutschland headquarters, will be developed by Metro into an office campus centered around food excellence. This first phase of the masterplan has now received METRO board approval to commence to Planning Application. New Public spaces will be completed in 2025, opening out into the wider Flingern Campus, thus creating the stepping stones for the second part of the masterplan, which Swiss Life will bring to site from 2027 onwards.

 

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.
