Abstract

The project in short Isar Süd is the name of a new urban neighbourhood being created out of a production site of Siemens Inc. acting as a global player in the world markets. This new neighbourhood will be located in Munich, in the district of Obersendling, and offer office space and housing to Siemens employees and to the public. The previously restricted-access site will be opened and linked to the surrounding neighbourhoods and municipal services. The entire project - planned area consists of approx. 750,000 m2 total floor space - will be completed in 2016.
The project will be realised by a coalition between the City of Munich which has the planning authority and the Siemens Inc. as the owner of the property.
Isar Süd is at the moment the biggest private urban development project in Europe and the biggest private construction project in the history of Munich. The transformation of this site can be classified as one of the important redevelopment projects in Munich (like Trade Fair City Riem, the conversion of former military sites, the redevelopment of the former trade fair “Theresienhöhe”) that have been released for the last 15 years. Moreover, considering the enduring recession in the building industry and the high vacancy rates in office space the project Isar Süd can be considered as a contra-cyclical signal in Munich’s current urban development. Isar Süd features citywide importance, because of its size but it has an even higher impact on the development of its surrounding district Obersendling.
