The BDC was developed as a start-up hub for medical technology companies; it offers tenants a high degree of flexibility in how spaces are used as well as how they can be combined. An important component of the concept is the “communication zone”, which stretches over all floors and encourages creativity and collaboration.

The project is part of a →Urban Masterplan

The project was named 'The building of the week' by the german-architects.com.
