Two striking historic brick buildings form the entrance to the former Köpenick cable factory and will also form the entrance to CÖPIUS – a BUWOG quarter. Since closing in the mid-1990s, the buildings have been unused and fallen into disrepair, and the site has been left vacant. The district of Treptow-Köpenick is conducting the 9-53 development plan procedure for the approximately 66,000 square meter site. In preparation for the planned new quarter with around 920 apartments, a daycare center, and non-disruptive commercial enterprises, BUWOG began soil remediation, clearance, and disposal of contaminated sites on the former industrial site in October 2024.
