history
The quarter was largely built on the former site of the NKG Kala Hamburg coffee warehouse . The company initially planned to use the area until the beginning of the 2020s, which is why development would only have been possible after this point in time. After the company was able to find an alternative property in Wilhelmsburg , the areas were released for development early in 2006. The first building in the quarter was a branch office of the software company SAP . In 2006, the German headquarters of Kuehne + Nagel followed as the second completed project. The Coffee-Plaza project was created to the east, and the foundation stone for the center of the coffee trade was laid in 2008. A project that brings together roasters, retailers and related businesses in the coffee sector in one place. The opening was in October 2010. A passage parallel to Am Sandtorpark street became the “Coffee Plaza” and a sculpture in the form of a coffee bean was set up. It comes from Lotte Ranft.
