Close to the Berlin Zoo, an elegant apartment block is being built at Gernotstraße 36 with a mix of 1-2 room flats ranging in size from 27 m² to 61 m².

Number 36 is a rare vacant lot in the middle of typical old Berlin buildings close to the eastern S-Bahn ring road. The street is located in the middle of Lichtenberg's Nibelungen neighbourhood in a quiet residential area with lots of greenery and mature trees. The underground/metro and buses as well as shopping facilities are within walking distance.

In Germany, micro-apartments have developed into a successful form of investment and residential property over the last 10 years. The demand for small, optimised flats is high due to the increasing number of 1 and 2-person households and rising rents.
