Progress at the Maco 1927 office building: Cologne's new heart beats!

A lot is happening in Cologne! The construction of the new "Maco 1927" office building is progressing inexorably. The former building, which was restored in 1949 after the destruction in World War II, is now undergoing extensive renovation just around 250 meters from the main train station. Art-Invest, the project development company responsible for this, plans to complete the entire area by the end of June 2026. The existing building, which has not been fundamentally renovated since 1974, has lost a lot of its old charm, which is why the facade was first removed and the building was gutted to make room for new things. Art-Invest describes the old walls as a "classic 70s appearance".

The new office building is not only visually upgraded, but also designed sustainably. The planned supplementary construction is built in wood, which ensures ecological efficiency and a harmonious appearance. Managing Director Arne Hilbert emphasizes that the sustainable restoration of the existing building is at the top, and so the old substance is combined with modern elements. In addition, planned uses will include inner -city jobs and gastronomy, which further increases the attractiveness of the city center.

modern equipment for all

The central location of the new office building comes up to Cologne: inside. In just ten minutes you can reach the main train station on foot, and the “Ebertplatz” train stop with lines 12 and 15 is only 500 meters away. The construction also includes a modern mobility concept. Over 150 parking spaces are equipped with digital parking space management, and cyclists can look forward to e-bike charging stations, weather-protected storage space, rental bike offers and a small workshop for repairs.

The project is part of a more extensive plan in which Cologne expects around 70,000 new residents to be: inside. This brings numerous major projects, including the new Cologne-Kreuzfeld district, where 3,000 residential units are already planned for 8,000 people. The Parkstadt South and the Dutz port are also in the starting blocks to improve the living space and job offer in the cathedral city. These construction projects show: Cologne has the feeling for the needs of the citizens: in -eye and continuously develops to increase the quality of life.

A look into the future

With the increase in the "Maco 1927", a new attic with a roof terrace will also be created, which promises a breathtaking view over Cologne. The combination of a modern office concept and attractive gastronomy offers will make the area around the main train station an inviting and pulsating place for business travelers and Cologne: inside. The city links the past with the future and is determined to create a livable, sustainable urban environment for everyone. You can be excited to see what the next few months will bring!
