Grand Central Dusseldorf

On the 40,000 m² gross property area of the Grand Central site, a mixed-use complex is being created on eleven building plots, including residential space, retail space, restaurants, a fitness centre, a day-care centre, a multi storey car park and a communal underground car park. Over 1,000 apartments for all ages and income levels will ensure diversity in the neighbourhood – including privately financed, publicly funded and low-rent units. At the Grand Central, urban and vibrant city lifestyles are combined with quiet seclusion and green oases of calm. On one hand, the project’s location in the middle of the city means Düsseldorf‘s highlights, like the Old Town and the “Kö”, are very close by. On the other hand, the new neighbourhood is designed to be completely carfree, and stationary traffic will not be permitted underground. Lots of green in the open public spaces will promote a better microclimate, despite the urbanity. Children will be able to play safely in the green courtyards, while pedestrians stroll in pocket parks and along the boulevards.
