"We chose the building in Koreastrasse because it offers modern offices in a central part of HafenCity," said Ingrid Heisserer, Chief Financial & Chief Human Resources Officer RTL Germany. The company had sought a suitable, sustainable, multi-use building with good transport links, she said, adding: "We are clearly committed to Hamburg as a media centre and are pleased to offer our employees a new home in a shared location where they feel comfortable."

Designed by Gewers Pudewill architects in Berlin, the building has already won several accolades including the "HafenCity Ecolabel" thanks to the verdant inner courtyard and cutting-edge workspaces.
