Currently HafenCity is the largest development project in Europe, and its figurehead is the Elbe Philharmonic Hall (Elbphilharmonie). Hamburg's new 'transparent' concert call, built on the foundations of the old Kaispecher A, is billed as a 'beacon' and should be inaugurated in the near future.Hamburg downtown is planned to expand by about 40%. By 2025 the construction works of all 12 quarters will be finished. By then there will be space for more than 50.000 people within both business and residential settings. All this is taking place in front of the Hamburg's most beautiful scenery - the harbour.With the construction of a new subway line, Hafen City will also be directly connected to the centre of Hamburg. At the new Cruise Centre, the terminal adjacent to the Unilever-Haus, the giant cruise ships already dock with their crowds of tourists.
