The Ten Towers complex in Berg am Laim is set to be transformed into a multi-functional district. In addition to offices, plans include creating hotel and residential spaces. The planning application has already been submitted.
Munich – A transformation is planned for Munich’s eastern cityscape: the high-rise Ten Towers complex in Berg am Laim is to be redeveloped into a multi-functional district. Moving away from their long-standing, exclusively office-based use, the future plans for the approximately 50-meter-tall towers include hotel space and, prospectively, residential units. The architectural firm Kiessler Architekten, acting on behalf of the developer, has submitted the corresponding planning application to Munich’s city administration.
Hotel Opening Planned for 2028
A few weeks ago, the first major tenant was announced: the Leonardo Hotels chain intends to occupy 13,200 square meters within the Ten Towers. The hotel’s opening is scheduled for the end of 2028. As the developers announced, the submission of the planning application is a major milestone for the extensive redevelopment. “This marks the start of the next phase in transforming the former mono-functional office complex into a multi-functional district with a hotel, office space, and, prospectively, residential units,” stated Veit Weidinger, Head of Rental Management at Wealthcap.
Towers in Munich Have Largely Stood Empty for a Long Time
For many years, the primary tenant of the space was the company Telekom. The company vacated the premises in 2022, after which the towers have been largely vacant. This is set to change following the redevelopment. It is not yet clear how many apartments might be created, nor which other tenants will move in.
One thing is certain: “By preserving the existing structure, we are saving embodied carbon and making an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions,” explained Weidinger.
