Uhlenhorst at a glance

The district has a clear limit, and it is a question of size. Our largest space in Uhlenhorst measures around 600 m², most range between 200 and 450 m². For a team of up to roughly 40 people, that is sufficient. Anyone growing beyond that has to leave the district, and you should know this before signing a ten-year lease.

Who is a good fit for Uhlenhorst?

Family businesses, foundations, specialist consultancies, mid-sized B2B service providers. Teams of up to around 40 people are realistic.

Less of a fit

Teams of more than 50 people. Our largest space here measures around 600 m², and above that there is barely anything in the district. And if you have plans for the evening, you go elsewhere for that.

Pros & cons

What Uhlenhorst really is like.

The case for Uhlenhorst

  • Within walking distance of the Außenalster From Hofweg it is just a few minutes to the water. For the lunch break, the district's most tangible advantage.
  • Significantly cheaper than west of the Alster Similar quiet, similar quality of building stock, a noticeably lower price level than Harvestehude or Rotherbaum.
  • Residential neighbourhood instead of office campus No deserted streets after office hours, no administrative-district atmosphere. For owner-managed companies, often the decisive point.
  • Stable neighbourhood Little turnover in the existing stock. Anyone who secures space here is usually settled for a long time.

What to consider

  • Very small selection Often only a handful of available spaces in the whole district. If you have a fixed move-in date, you need alternatives.
  • Above 600 m² it gets difficult That is the realistic upper limit. If you want to grow to 60 people, factor the move in from the start.
  • Only one underground line U3 Mundsburg, plus bus. No S-Bahn, so at least one change for commuters from the surrounding area.
  • Little happens after office hours Mundsburg-Center, Hofweg, Papenhuder Straße. If you expect more, you are in the wrong district.
