The foundation stone for the new multi-storey car park of the Cologne trade fair was laid at a ceremony on 8 September 2016. Over the coming sixteen months, Deutsche Industrie- und Parkhausbau GmbH will create parking space for approximately 3,200 vehicles on the site. The new car park building will blend in nicely with the urban development context between the inner-city motorway and the Zoo Bridge and will be easily identifiable by its prominent scales-like façade. IQ Real Estate has been commissioned to act as project manager.
