25.04.2021 Strabag: Strabag subsidiary Züblin and Dreßler Bau GmbH are working together as management contractors in a consortium to realise the new public administration headquarters in the heart of Dresden. The design-and-build contract, which will leave its mark on the Dresden cityscape, was awarded by Kommunale Immobilien Dresden GmbH & Co. KG with a fixed lump sum price of Euro 116 mn. The project is based on a design by the architectural firms Barcode Architects (Rotterdam) and Tchoban Voss Architekten (Hamburg/Dresden). The contract has now been ceremoniously signed and the consortium of ZÜBLIN (66 %) and Dreßler Bau (34 %) will begin realising the striking 33 metre administration building at Ferdinandplatz scheduled for completion within a period of about four years. The detailed design phase is currently underway, to be followed by a three-year construction period from spring 2022 until late March 2025. The project will be preceded by archaeological excavations commissioned by the city of Dresden. The preparation of the excavation pit will be put out to tender separately.
