Berlin (dpa / bb) - The Karstadt-Kaufhof parent company Signa is sticking to the plans for its location on Berlin's Kurfürstendamm.

In return for the preservation of department stores, the Senate had promised to enable Signa to build high-rise buildings there.

"The cooperation with the Senate has so far proven to be very reliable and trusting," said a Signa spokesman on Thursday.

"We still have no doubt that the Senate will keep its word and implement the agreements in the Letter of Intent."

According to information from the “Berliner Morgenpost” (Thursday), however, the new draft of a “City West development concept” does not provide for any high-rise buildings.

Senate building director Regula Lüscher had presented him on Wednesday in the House of Representatives.

Berlin and Signa signed a letter of intent on the Berlin locations in August 2020.

Among other things, the state agreed to enable “one or two high points” in a development plan with the district on the area on Ku'damm - “taking into account the dominant elevations at Breitscheidplatz”, as it was called.

The skyscrapers there reach a height of almost 120 meters.
