As before, the town hall building is not located directly on Karl-Marx-Allee, despite its address, but behind the Kino International on Berolinastraße.

The cost of the shell construction amounted to around 17 million DM , the construction costs totaled 52 million DM.

With the move into the new rented building, the offices of the Central District Office were all united under one roof for the first time since 1920. Until then, it had its headquarters in the Berolinahaus on Alexanderplatz . Since the Berlin district reform in 2001, however, the Tiergarten town hall has served as the official administrative seat of the Mitte district, which belongs to the district.

The previous owner Trigon Invest sold the property to Union Investment in early 2018 for EUR 87.4 million . The central district office is still only a tenant of the town hall and has to accept a rent increase of 54.5% to 13.50 € / m² net from March 1, 2018. The lease was extended for another ten years. The rent for 20,000 m² increases from € 167,772.98 net cold per month to € 259,269.40 per month. The district described the strong increase as comparatively cheap. In 2028, City Hall Mitte is to move to the House of Statistics , which was acquired by the federal government in 2017 , in order to counter the risk of rising rents. In the spring of 2018 it became known that as part of the remunicipalisation , the Mitte town hall will receive a new building on a traffic area in the inner courtyard of the House of Statistics and on open spaces generated by the demolition of low-rise buildings. The district itself will then be the owner of the new building for the town hall and BVV hall , which is planned on 25,000 square meters of gross floor area .
