Overview
- The regional committee voted unanimously to rent three floors for BBS Cora Berliner, with a full assembly decision due next week.
- The lease is estimated at about €4 million per year, totaling roughly €154.8–155 million over 30 years, versus up to €226 million for a new build.
- The building is being gutted as an international design competition advances, and permits plus construction point to first classes starting in 2028.
- Owner Oliver Blume plans a glazed inner courtyard to replace former escalators and flexible “learning houses” within the five‑meter‑high floors.
- Around 150 apartments are planned alongside the school, and the relocation would free the Brühlstraße and Nußriede sites for other educational uses.
