CTSpace’s document management and collaboration workflow application is being used by Union Investment Real Estate on their latest project, the EMPORIO in Hamburg. The real estate company has been given the task of refurbishing this beautiful listed building and modernising the structure to adhere to the new high standards of material and energy efficiency. The CTSpace solution is being used in the distribution of documentation and to aide the complex coordination processes on the project.
In 2007, Union Investment appointed CTSpace to streamline the coordination of document workflow and to facilitate project communication between all involved project teams. With 450 document activities per month and a functionally rich integrated message system, the solution has already gained a huge adoption rate on early project phases. Since the beginning of the construction work in mid July 2009, the use of the system has increased even further with the additional project participants.
The EMPORIO quarter in downtown Hamburg consists of the former Unilever building and a new building complex with office and commercial space, apartments, and a hotel with 325 rooms. The Unilever building is a heritage listed site undergoing refurbishment; HOCHTIEF Construction will perform all the refurbishment work and at the same time add two extra stories on top of the building. Once the construction work is completed, the two buildings will have a total usable space above ground level of approximately 60,000 square meters. Construction work begins in early 2009 and will be completed by 2011.
