Subproject 1: 2- to 4-room apartments on the waterside promenade of the Oberhavel River
The first subproject (TP 1) has been implemented since summer 2018. West of Daumstraße, a total of 14 houses with 362 apartments and an underground car park with 95 parking spaces (including 10 parking spaces with charging stations) will be built by 2020 at an exclusive waterfront location in Berlin Spandau. Additional commercial space in the basement ensures local supply, accessible on foot, for both new and established Berliners. During construction, consideration is being given to the adjoining rows of terraced houses in order to facilitate neighbourly coexistence.
Subproject 2: community centre as a meeting place
The second subproject (TP 2) will be completed by 2021 in final agreement with the Berlin Spandau district administration and will contribute to ensuring that all people around WATERKANT Berlin benefit from the new neighbourhood. A community centre, commercial units, multi-storey car park and a mobility hub serves as a central contact point for all residents and can be used by everyone as a meeting place. The energy centre will become the main supply node for WATERKANT Berlin. The stepping of the upper floors in the direction of the single-family houses will incorporate them into the quarter. TP 2a and 2b offer a further 460 and 100 apartments respectively on the Wasserstadtbrücke bridge leading to Spandauer Forst.

Subproject 3:
A park and sports grounds as leisure facilities for families in Berlin Spandau
The urban planning competition for the third and largest subproject (SP 3) of WATERKANT Berlin with 900 apartments, to be completed in 2025, was won by the architecture firm wiechers beck (Pictures Model). A central park and sports grounds offer leisure facilities for all residents in Berlin Spandau and combine nature-oriented living with urbanity. The neighbourhood garage creates space and a mobility hub with car sharing service providers ensures flexibility for all residents of WATERKANT Berlin.
