Since January 2018, the so-called Koop5 has been working on the community-oriented development of the Haus der Statistik. The five cooperation partners - Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing, the Berlin-Mitte district office, the state-owned companies WBM Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte mbH and BIM Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH, and ZUsammenKUNFT Berlin eG - will jointly realize space for art, culture, social affairs and education, affordable housing, a new city hall for Mitte, and administrative uses in the existing buildings and through new construction on the Haus der Statistik site.
