In light of today's ruling by the Berlin Regional Court regarding the action for eviction taken against the Theater und Komödie am Kurfürstendamm, Norman Schaaf, the Managing Director of CELLS Bauwelt GmbH, had the following to say:
"At the end of 2014, CELLS Bauwelt GmbH was appointed as the project developer for the Ku'damm Karree by the company Mars Propco 1 S.a.r.l, based in Luxembourg.
The Ku'damm Karree will be revitalised by means of comprehensive construction and renovation work based on designs by the renowned architect Prof. Jan Kleihues and developed into an urban, mixed-use quarter. Needless to say, its attractiveness will also be boosted by cultural amenities, along with shopping, workplaces and restaurants. A theatre company will therefore continue to be a part of the Ku'damm Karree well into the future.
Mars Propco 1 S.a.r.l is a company which was effectively founded under the laws of Luxembourg. We have furnished the court with the requested documentation regarding the founding of the Luxembourg-based company Mars Propco 1 S.a.r.l. Today's decision demonstrates that the court recognises this company's capacity to be a party to legal proceedings. For us, this was a purely formal act."
