Stellantis Germany grEEn-campus Reaches Topping-Out Milestone in Rüsselsheim

New grEEn-campus Reaches Topping-Out Milestone

On September 2, Stellantis Germany, Opel, and VGP celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the new grEEn-campus in Rüsselsheim, Germany. The site is being developed as the new global headquarters of Opel and the headquarters of Stellantis Germany, with modern and flexible workspaces planned across the campus. The ceremony marks the completion of the main structural work, while interior construction has now begun. The project remains on schedule, with overall completion planned for the second half of 2027. The development is intended to provide a modern working environment while supporting the long-term presence of the companies in Rüsselsheim.

Campus Scale and Planned Facilities

The campus will cover 114,000 square metres and is designed around three major components. An administration building of approximately 23,000 square metres will accommodate the Opel and Stellantis Germany headquarters. A separate R&D and design center will cover about 36,000 square metres and provide modern facilities for developing and designing future Opel models. The site will also include a 55,000 square metre car park. Together, these facilities are intended to create a consolidated business, research, development, and design location. The scale of the project reflects its role as a major corporate and engineering site for the automotive operations based in Rüsselsheim.

Sustainability and Energy Strategy

The grEEn-campus is targeting DGNB Gold certification and incorporates sustainability measures throughout its construction and energy concept. The project focuses on reducing carbon emissions associated with construction and using sustainable building materials. A significant share of the campus energy supply will come from solar panels installed on a green roof. This solar generation will be supported by a large geothermal system located beneath the car park. Heat pumps will use stored ground energy to provide heating and cooling throughout the year, combining renewable energy generation with ground-based thermal energy to support the campus's operational requirements.

Strategic Importance for Rüsselsheim

The grEEn-campus is a key project under the “Made for Germany” initiative and is expected to strengthen Rüsselsheim and the wider region as an important business location. Beyond providing new headquarters facilities, the campus will bring administration, research, development, and design functions together within a modernized site. Its dedicated R&D and design center is intended to support the development of future Opel models, while the sustainability-focused construction and energy systems are designed to reduce the environmental impact of the facility. With construction progressing according to schedule, the campus is expected to become an important part of the companies' long-term presence in Rüsselsheim once completed in the second half of 2027.
