RE:BORN: Everlasting Buildings in an Ever-changing World
RE:BORN develops real estate that is built function-free, so the possibilities are virtually endless. A building that can continuously adapt to new functions and remain flexible in permanent transition is what it's all about. Over the past 15 years, RE:BORN has (re) developed more than 250,000 square meters of inner-city real estate. The projects covered, for example, old buildings that were completely made new again and new buildings transformed into offices, hotels, homes or schools.
