commercial building Aachen
LIST Construction has constructed a modern, mixed-use turnkey property in the heart of Aachen's pedestrian zone.
The approximately 6,500 sqm commercial building was constructed on a site that formerly housed an old textile department store and now combines retail and hotel space.
The six-story building, which impresses with its Alucobond façade, was constructed with an underground parking garage with 18 parking spaces. A dm-drogerie markt drugstore occupies 700 square meters on the ground floor of the commercial building, while the upper floors are occupied by the economy hotel chain B&B Hotels with 144 rooms.
The foundation work for this construction project presented a particular challenge. As the property is directly adjacent to the neighboring buildings, some of the neighboring properties had to be underpinned. The pilgrim step method was used for this. In addition, pile foundations were necessary for the commercial building.
