around 2,000 tenants
You will find a large number of companies in all industries in our industrial estates.
„The approx. 2,000 tenants of the GSG are a very special and diverse mixture of the Berlin middle class. If you were to expose all of our tenants on a deserted island, you probably would not have to worry about your future, as the potential for synergies and collaboration is so diverse. This is not only fascinating, but probably unique in its form in Berlin.“

COO of GSG
Over 50 years experience
For over 50 years, Gewerbesiedlungs-Gesellschaft (GSG) has been a well-known part of Berlin’s economy. Student protests and squatters, the fall of the Wall and the government relocation, New Economy and its crash, cluster strategy and startup boom – catchphrases such as these represent not only the exciting history of Berlin but also that of GSG over the last fifty years.
The continuous work of GSG is closely linked to the development of the city and, in particular, to that of the Berlin industry. GSG has always been an important part of Berlin’s urban and economic development. Here, at about 50 locations, GSG offers small and medium-sized businesses, which form the backbone of Berlin’s economy, the right space to realize their business ideas. Not infrequently, products and services “made in Berlin” emerge, which often extend beyond the borders of the capital.
