NXP Semiconductors has unveiled plans to relocate its German headquarters in Hamburg, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the company in the city. After more than 100 years in Lokstedt, NXP will move to a new site on Tasköprüstraße in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, with the planned move-in date set for early 2031.
The new campus will host more than 800 employees and serve as a hub for research, development, testing, and marketing across NXP’s automotive, industrial, and IoT businesses. It will also accommodate general management functions and several of NXP Hamburg’s key competence centers, including:
- System-on-Chip (SoC) Security
- Artificial Intelligence at the Edge
- System Innovation for Automation, Robotics, and Health
- TeraHertz Laboratory for Mobile Communication and Automotive Radar
Located close to Science City Hamburg, the new headquarters is designed to strengthen NXP’s engagement in the region’s high-tech ecosystem. The modern facility will combine timeless architecture with state-of-the-art sustainability features, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and a people-centric work environment.
The project is being developed by Hamburg-based real estate group Captiva, which is transforming the former wholesale market site into a modern corporate headquarters. AUG. PRIEN Projektentwicklung will construct the building and lease it to NXP, with CBRE GmbH advising NXP throughout the process.
Hamburg’s First Mayor, Dr. Peter Tschentscher, welcomed the move, emphasizing NXP’s role in advancing future technologies such as quantum computing and praising the company’s decision to base itself in Science City Bahrenfeld.
Lars Reger, CTO at NXP, highlighted the company’s vision for the new headquarters:
“This move follows our vision of a people-centric, inclusive workspace that fosters innovation and collaboration. It also expresses our commitment to supporting Hamburg’s development as a hub for future technologies and high-tech ecosystems across Europe.”
With this relocation, NXP is reinforcing its long-term commitment to Hamburg, ensuring its continued role as a driving force in Europe’s semiconductor and technology landscape.
