Historic residential and commercial building complex with a guest house in Berlin-Mitte – Sophienstraße.

The property for sale is a historic complex of residential and commercial buildings located on Sophienstraße, in the heart of Berlin-Mitte. The street-facing apartment building is dated to 1882 in the Berlin State monument database and is part of the protected architectural ensemble known as "Spandauer Vorstadt." The current owner, the non-profit youth organization CVJM-Ostwerk e.V., has used the site as a club premises since 1894 and acquired the property in 1897. The approximately 926 m² plot of land includes the main building with side wings, an initial cross-building, and a second cross-building completed in 1997. The latter was approved as a youth hostel and has since been used as a center for youth education and accommodation. The total above-ground residential, commercial, and other usable area is approximately 1,793 m². The complex is also largely partially underground. The historic building on the street is part of the Gründerzeit-era block development and, with its historical facade design, shapes the streetscape of Sophienstraße. The building complex combines historical elements with an exceptionally diverse range of uses. The main building comprises six apartments, the first floor currently used as the association's office, and a commercial unit on the ground floor. The side wing houses group rooms, seminar rooms, guest rooms, and storage areas. The first annex building contains four apartments, as well as additional seminar and accommodation spaces. The fully developed top floor features five multi-bed rooms with a communal area and two bathrooms; this space is currently being used as part of a housing provision program. The second annex building is the core of the existing guesthouse operation. It includes twelve double rooms with en-suite bathrooms, three common areas, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, an office, and a passenger elevator. The three common areas have the potential to be converted into additional guest rooms. The accommodation offering is further supplemented by two double rooms in the side wing, one single room in the first annex building, and five multi-bed rooms on the top floor of the first annex building. The association will completely abandon this location as part of its organizational restructuring. Upon handover, the following areas will be available: the association's office, the catering facilities, the seminar, group, and guest rooms, the entire second building, and an apartment of approximately 24 square meters. Additional living space may become available in the short to medium term, depending on existing contractual and organizational conditions; further details will be provided in the subsequent sales process. The property offers various development perspectives due to its central location, diverse building structure, and the significant amount of available space. Potential uses include continuing its current educational or accommodation function, increasing the rental of areas currently used by the association, or developing alternative residential and commercial concepts. All changes of use and construction work are subject to the approval requirements of public and heritage law. The building complex as a whole is in a condition that requires significant renovation and modernization. In particular, there is a considerable need for investment in the roof, facade, heating system, electrical systems, piping, stairwells, windows, and guest house. Therefore, the offer is primarily aimed at investors who wish to combine the exceptional location and space potential with their own sustainable development concept.
