Project update Koelnmesse 3.0 – exhibition, conference and event location Confex©
Demolition of the old trade fair hall 1 is underway @Koelnmesse.
As part of this, it was also necessary to perform demolition work above the DB-Netz railway tracks (ICE line), which required a line obstruction.
As a consequence, it was only possible to perform the work between midnight and 5 a.m. on a few days that had to be agreed with Deutsche Bahn well in advance.

In close proximity to the Duisburg main railway station, in an area known as Quartier 1, Aurelis Real Estate is realizing a five-storey office building (approx. 11,400 m²) that will be used by the financial service provider Consors Finanz.
The project comprises a V-shaped building that will be constructed behind the south wing of the station. It will have a transparent entrance structure connecting the two legs and a single-level underground car park.
Earthmoving work already started in October 2020 and shell construction work is underway. The interior fit-out is planned for August 2021.
Upon completion of the project in the autumn of 2022, Aurelis will apply for certification of the property with a Gold Certificate from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
