Experience modular construction
In Berlin-Lichtenberg, construction of Europe's largest modular housing project is progressing at an impressive pace. By the end of 2026, 1,500 apartments are to be built here - realized in a modular construction method that focuses on efficiency and sustainability.
The construction project in figures:
- Every week, a complete floor is filled with 36 Wohnungen completed, including all ancillary work
- Every 30 minutes, a prefabricated residential module is precisely integrated into the building structure using a crane.
The pre-production of the modules in the factory reduces construction times on site by up to 50 %. At the same time, standardized production reduces potential construction defects and reworking.
Cooperation in the joint venture
The project is being developed as part of a joint venture between Capital Bay and Daiwa House Modular Europe. While Capital Bay is responsible for land and project acquisition, financing and long-term management, Daiwa House is responsible for technical implementation.
Background and further information
ZDF focused on the potential of modular construction and the challenges in social housing. Our project in Berlin-Lichtenberg is also featured in the in-depth report: ZDF report on modular construction and housing shortage.
