HENN develops new master plan for Berlin wholesale market

Along with Buro Happold and Müller-BBM, HENN is developing a long term redevelopment plan for the Berliner Großmarkt. Commissioned by the city of Berlin, the masterplan explores the revitalization and development of the market and its connection to the city.

The project explores new trends in the future of food and supply chain innovations, from food wholesaling, fresh produce logistics, e-commerce, and delivery. Through conversations with wholesalers and other stakeholders, the project examines how a market can give back to the city, and remain a profitable enterprise. Underpinned by an ambitious sustainability agenda, HENN’s proposal will make the “Belly of Berlin” central to the city once again.

Today, the market is an island within Berlin; HENN’s plan would reconnect the market to the city through infrastructural development and by reprogramming the former industrial waterfront with additional program.
