Isar Süd project

The Isar Süd project of Siemens Real Estate in the Obersendling district of Munich provided for a fundamental redesign of the Siemens site from 2005 to 2016.

The aim of the project, which began around 2000, was to open up the site, which had been completed by then, to improve the quality of life in the district with new apartments and office space and to concentrate the workplaces and apartments of other Siemens employees. The project should be completed in 2016 after several construction phases, the planned volume being around 750,000 m² gross floor area (GFA). Of this, 440,000 m² GFA should be used for offices, 120,000 m² GFA for apartments and the rest for infrastructural facilities. Furthermore, 50,000 m² were earmarked for green spaces. Taken together, this would have been the largest investment (~ 1.5 billion euros) in the city of Munich that a company has ever wanted to make.

The project also included two high-rise buildings with a height of 148 and 112 meters, which should form an ensemble with the existing 75 m high Siemens high -rise (built 1961–63). These plans were heavily criticized by opponents of high-rise buildings, as they feared that the towers would have a negative impact on the well-known Alpine panorama.

Due to the petition of the “Initiative-Unser-Munich” initiated by the former mayor Georg Kronawitter, a complete rescheduling of the entire project would have been necessary in 2004, since after the success of the initiative in Munich no skyscrapers that tower above the Frauenkirche (100 meters) can be built would.

Siemens decided to give up the location in 2008 and sold the land to a real estate developer. The Siemens skyscraper on the site, which was originally to be demolished, had already been sold to the investor in 2005. The real estate company is developing the site under the name Südseite .
