Are you a development policy-focused or migrant-diaspora NGO looking for new office space and want to become part of Berlin Global Village? Then apply now!

Starting April 1, 2026, approximately 700 sqm of space will become available on the 1st floor (Altbau) at Berlin Global Village, and we are looking for organizations interested in becoming a long-term part of the Berlin Global Village community. Priority will be given to migrant-diaspora organizations.

 

Size:
The entire floor offers approximately 700 sqm of space. There are five larger open-space work areas that can either be used by a single large NGO or shared by several smaller organizations. Anything from 10 to 500 sqm is possible. For planning purposes, we suggest the following calculation: 10 sqm per employee/workstation.

 

Costs:
The rent is €13.90 per sqm (net) plus €8.33 per sqm for heating and operating cost prepayments. Included in this are full access to the shared infrastructure of Berlin Global Village:

• Tea kitchen on the floor,
• Meeting rooms on every floor,
• Community café on the ground floor of the historic building,
• Lounge and rooftop terrace in the new building,
• High-speed internet,
• Electricity and heating, and much more.
These additional costs are typically extra in a standard commercial lease but are already covered here through the operating costs.

 

If you are interested, please reach out by June 15, 2025 to: verwaltung@berlin-global-village.de

 

Please include the following in your expression of interest:
• A brief written statement (approx. half a page) explaining why your NGO would like to move into Berlin Global Village,
• What your organization would contribute to the community,
• Any existing connections with NGOs currently based at Berlin Global Village,
• How many sqm of office space you will need,
• Your preferred location/floor within the building: Floor Plan 

 

The decision on the lease agreements will be made by the BGV Tenant Representation together with the BGV Shareholders’ Assembly, based on a criteria list developed by the tenants (see criteria list here) until end of June 2025.

The selection process, which organization will be located where on the floor, will conclude by mid of July 2025 through a participatory process. All selected organizations will have signed lease agreements by mid-September, allowing the current lease to be terminated before the end of September (six months ahead of the move).

 

Feel free to share this offer with other Berlin-based organizations in your network.
