Municipal commercial propety Altona Innovation Park | construction site 2.1

The Altona innovation park has a total buildable area of approximately 55,000 m² and is accessible via Vorhornweg and Elly-See-Strasse. Construction site 2.1 covers an area of 2,521 m². A potential gross floor area of 8,320 m² can be realized here. As per development plan, the property is designated as a special area earmarked for a technology park and is therefore suited to innovative R&D-based companies from the fields of life sciences, laser and nanotechnology, quantum computing as well as material sciences, including highly specialized infrastructure. The "tecHHub Hamburg" opened in July 2024. The DESY Innovation Factory II technology and start-up center is scheduled to be built by 2026.

In the west of Hamburg, the Altona Innovation Park is one of the first developments of Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld, one of Hamburg's most ambitious, innovative projects of the coming decades. It integrates science, research and teaching, business and state-of-the-art urban development. The Altona Innovation Park is located in the immediate vicinity of the renowned Bahrenfeld research campus, which has developed into a global hotspot for structural research in recent years. With the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), a research facility of the University of Hamburg as well as pioneering institutions such as the XFEL X-ray laser research facility and PETRA, the synchrotron radiation source, the location has become a magnet for first-class research and innovation.

Here, startups, scaleups and innovative research-based companies from the fields of life sciences, nano and laser technology as well as materials science – including highly specialised infrastructure and quantum computing – will work on new technologies and drive innovation at the Altona innovation park. Basic research, applied research and the transfer into market-ready products come together in a unique way in the ecosystem of the Innovation Park, Research Campus and European XFEL. As a leading global R&I location and securing Hamburg’s future as a pioneer in these fields, the Altona innovation park will make significant contributions to establishing Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld.

Altona is the westernmost district of Hamburg and features an urban flair, vibrant neighbourhoods as well as almost rural tranquillity and prosperous suburban quarters on the Elbe River – alongside numerous attractions such as the St Pauli Fischmarkt, the Elbe beach, the stairs quarter of Blankenese and the Volkspark. Covering an area of 77 km², Altona is currently home to 280,838 people [as of 2023].

In the 19th century, the formerly independent city of Altona had an important harbour that competed with the port of Hamburg at the time. During the advent of industrialisation, housing and production facilities were developed hand in hand, which is still reflected in the cityscape. Today, trade and industry are mostly found in the quarters of Bahrenfeld and Lurup, where space-intensive and manufacturing businesses are located, as well as in Altona and Ottensen, where media companies and stakeholders from the creative industries have long found a new home. Altona is characterised by a large number of industrial yards, and many of these are located in converted factories (e.g. Borselhof, Phoenixhof and Zeisehallen in Ottensen, Altes Gaswerk in Bahrenfeld, Altes Bahnkraftwerk Leverkusenstrasse, as well as Alte Pianofabrik in the Schanzenviertel). Prior to WW2, the banks of the Elbe along Altona/Ottensen were largely dominated by industry. Later on in the 20th century, the vision of an urban economy was realised with a number of striking developments (e.g. Dockland and Elbberg Campus alongside conversions of historic malthouses and warehouses).
