Offenbach's Rockywood project in its harbor wins Brownfield Award for eco-friendly city regeneration
In the heart of Offenbach am Main, a new development project named Rockywood is making waves. This modern urban quarter, a model for sustainable business districts, has been designed with the goal of shortening transport routes and increasing the recycling rate.
Rockywood, winner of the Brownfield Award 2025 and home to three company headquarters, Topeople, TMS, and the IMPAG Group, is a testament to Offenbach's strategic economic location. The project, planned in cooperation with Eike Becker Architects, is a shining example of modern, urban business quarters.
The Rockywood complex, built in wood module construction, was realized by Primus development GmbH in just eleven months. A notable feature of this construction is the use of only replanted wood, ensuring a minimal environmental impact.
The circular economy is a central focus at Rockywood. The move of the CIRCLE hub of the Frankfurt waste disposal company Blasius Schuster has created a network of over 40 companies working on sustainable solutions in the construction industry. One such initiative is the integration of the Boxclub Nordend e.V., a regional violence prevention project, into the new Rockywood building, granted rent-free use for the next 20 years.
While the search results do not provide direct information about Rockywood's sustainable features, circular economy aspects, or its impact on the local economy, it is clear that the project is a significant milestone in the commercial development of the quarter.
