The Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft "Am Ostseeplatz" eG is a Berlin-based housing cooperative that has been committed to providing affordable and sustainable living spaces since its founding in 2000. With a growing portfolio of over 630 apartments and 30 commercial units, the cooperative has established itself as a significant player in Berlin's housing market. The organization's mission is to create and manage housing projects that are not only affordable but also socially and ecologically responsible. This is achieved through a variety of innovative concepts, including community-led housing projects in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, as well as a seven-story wooden building in Wedding that has received architectural awards. One of the cooperative's key strategies is to acquire existing buildings through the right of first refusal, thereby protecting tenants and small businesses from speculative investors. Additionally, the cooperative continuously expands its portfolio through new constructions, aiming to provide good-quality housing at affordable prices to its members and those on the waiting list. The cooperative's team, comprising experts from various fields, works collaboratively to ensure the smooth operation of all processes. With a focus on long-term sustainability and community engagement, "Am Ostseeplatz" eG contributes significantly to preserving Berlin's cultural diversity and neighborhood cohesion. Through its commitment to affordable housing and community-driven projects, the cooperative has become a model for sustainable urban development in Europe.
