“Le big TamTam” is an extraordinary project in the heart of Hamburg’s city center that combines culinary diversity, entertainment, and modern shopping – all within a heritage-protected building. A colorful food market, complete with an event stage and central bar, is being developed on an area of 2,000 sq m in the basement level of Hamburg’s Hanseviertel district.
The design concept of the envisioned food court is characterized by a number of striking contrasts. Historic tiles contrast with colorful furnishings, and maritime and Hanseatic elements intertwine with modern, creative design. As part of a collaborative effort, CBRE Investment Management Germany, the owner’s representative for the Hanseviertel, design studio Aisslinger and the tellerrand consulting team, which created the concept for Le big TamTam, have molded the contrasts into a well-rounded design.
Among others, the lineup consists of MOMO Ramen providing an authentic soulfood experience from Japan, the local ÜberQuell, which is known for its Neapolitan pizza and own micro-brewery, the first taquería in Germany, Miguelez that serves a mix of Mexican street food and traditional cuisine with a modern twist, YEAHBOY, which is all about American comfort food with a focus on fried chicken and vegan alternatives, and many more.
The food market also includes an event stage. The bar, which is operated jointly by all partners, acts as a central meeting point. The venue caters to up to 500 guests, and is debuting a modern, standardized order-and-pay system via QR code.
“Particularly in light of the new developments in the port, the Hanseviertel and the Passagenviertel strengthen the identity of Hamburg’s core city,” commented Markus Wagenknecht, Head of Asset Management Logistics Germany at CBRE Investment Management, in the official press release. “In partnership with tellerrand consulting, the great restaurateurs and partners, we are continuing to develop the quarter on behalf of a fund structured by the company.”
