It unites a mix of uses such as culture, leisure, retail, restaurants, hotels, services, housing, offices, a Cruise Ship Terminal, Science Center with Aquarium and Science Theatre on a total area of 275.000 m2.
The urban scheme combines buildings and landscape, with the Überseeboulevard as outstanding element. As connecting passage from and to the existing city centre, the boulevard meanders through the area and culminates in the main square of the quarter, the ‘Überseeplatz’.
