Oxford entered the Berlin market in October 2017 with its acquisition of the €1.1bn Sony Center, a 112,000 SM prime office-led mixed-use asset. In conjunction with this investment, Oxford opened a local office employing a team of 9 asset management, investment, finance and marketing professionals and continues to grow to ensure the correct resources are in place to manage the existing portfolio and to plan for further expansion in the German market.

Some 4 years after its acquisition of the Sony Center and some 20 years after the opening of the asset, Oxford plans to invest over €200 million to update and transform the historic destination. Planned investments include:

the refurbishment and upgrade of all office buildings, the cinema, retail and restaurant areas, as well as improved green and outdoor areas;

modernisation of offices to create a state-of-the-art, holistic and sustainable workplace;

extended leisure offering with focus on sports and well-being, as well as three new boutique cinemas;

expansion of the retail portfolio and introduction of the bicycle focused concept, Trek; and

addition of Frederick's, The Deli and KERB to diversify the culinary offer.

Oxford is working together with the original design team from JAHN Architecture and PWP Landscape Architecture on the new masterplan which respects the Sony Center’s architectural importance for locals and visitors. The redevelopment plans aim to place a greater focus on human-centric aspects of the Sony Center campus including optimising workplaces for health and wellbeing, world-class retail and future-focused amenity. This will be complemented by an annual program of events in sport, culture and entertainment that will be accessible not only for the Sony Center office community, but also for Berliners and visitors. Initial work began earlier this year, while major construction activity is due to start in January, with the majority of the development expected to complete by the end of 2023.
