East Munich

Alongside the established district Am Moosfeld, which has recently been internally developed, east Munich offers additional major spaces for development. One such location is Steinhausen commercial district, along the A94 autobahn to Passau. In the coming years, the area will continue its evolution into a state-of-the-art business center.

Further east, in the highly attractive commercial surroundings of Messestadt Riem, the last city-owned land and property in the Technologiepark is being made available to technology-oriented companies. You can get more information on our webpage about advice on finding commercial space.

There are also plans to revitalize and further develop sites in the southeast, including central Neuperlach, Neuperlach Süd, and the Perlach Süd commercial district.

Werk1 in the Werksviertel district is a growing innovation and startup center offering space for young companies to grow and connect.

Additional construction plans are either in the preparatory phase or already underway, including the Free State of Bavaria’s new concert hall for Munich. In addition, Munich’s city-owned business park (Gewerbehof) at Ostbahnhof is being modernized and expanded into a technology center.

Thanks to its direct proximity to Munich’s Ostbahnhof station, the Werksviertel district is well connected to the local, regional, and long-distance public transport network. Next to the S-Bahn Stammstrecke (core segment) with its connection to the airport, there is a major bus station, while the U5 and the tram also meet here.

Current project developments:

• i4 (32)
• i8 Campus im Werksviertel
• WERK 13 (34)

Neumarkter Straße is home to a mixed-use, 20-hectare commercial district with offices and traditional industries. Renowned companies such as Penguin Random House, Noventi Healthcare, Scandic, MSD, and the head office of Willy Bogner are all located here.

The Weisses Quartier on St.-Martin-Straße celebrated its topping-out ceremony in fall 2022. The ensemble, originally designed by Richard Meier, has now obtained additional stories. The campus has more than 60,000 m² of office space; the outdoor facilities have been redesigned to make them much greener. Renowned companies working here include NokiaSiemens, Infinera, Telit Cinterion, PPRO, Pearson Deutschland, and Dassault Systèmes.

The district can be reached by S-Bahn (St.-Martin-Straße station) or bus 54 from Ostbahnhof.

Arabellapark in Bogenhausen comprises an approximately 30-hectare site with office buildings. The HypoVereinsbank, whose offices in a listed building are visible from afar, the Bavarian Chamber for Social Benefits and Pensions (BVK), and the BayWa headquarters are all located here. Swiss Re, and Hubert Burda Media Holding are also represented at the site.

This diverse, 70-hectare site with offices, traditional industries, and logistics companies runs alongside the railway and the A 94 autobahn. It starts with the Bavaria Towers in the district’s west.

One part of the district is already being developed in the form of the office and retail building MUC.EAST, as part of an agreement with the City of Munich.

A city-owned business park is due to be built in the east of the district, with work scheduled to start in 2035.

Current project developments:

• DER Bogen (23)
• Steinhausen commercial district (25)

Right next to U/S-Bahn station Perlach Süd you can find the 24-hectare Campus Perlach with around 200,000 m² of office and lab space. The major German company Siemens is currently the main campus user. However, office space is still available in the MuniCubes on site.

The 17-story R.evo Serviced Apartments building has been constructed on Carl-Wery-Straße, south of the U/S-Bahn station. Current developments include the city-owned Berufsschule für Farbe und Gestaltung (Vocational School for Painting and Design), and Perlacher Tor, an office park with a total surface area of 55,000 m².

The 25-hectare Perlach Süd commercial district lies to the south of the old village center and the S-Bahn station Perlach. The location is home to a diverse mix of SMEs as well as to the city-owned business park Münchner Gewerbehof Perlach. Many of these companies have been based in Perlach for decades.

Since October 2022, Perlach Süd has also been part of the “Creating NEBourhoods Together” project. This is one of five lighthouse projects in the EU’s “New European Bauhaus” program. The aim is to make living and working in Munich’s Neuperlach district sustainable, socially fair, and environmentally friendly.

Perlach Süd is also a project area for Munich’s Commercial District Management team.

On the site of the former München-Riem Airport, some seven kilometers from central Munich, you can find Messestadt Riem, one of Europe’s largest city-led development districts. The 560-hectare area offers diverse forms of housing in the south, the 70-hectare trade fair location Messe München GmbH at its center, as well as all the infrastructure needed for a modern residential area (childcare facilities, schools, social services, a direct connection to the U- and S-Bahn), and the large shopping center Riem Arcaden.

Technologiepark Riem in the western section of the area offers 14 hectares of already constructed city-owned space for companies from the life sciences and high-tech sectors, and an additional hectare that has not yet been developed. The City of Munich awards the commercial space – via our location support service for companies – to organizations pursuing R&D. Distinguished companies such as the med-tech manufacturer Brainlab AG, the software developer Nemetschek SE, the consulting and IT services company Capgemini, Qlik Tech, GEW Deutschland, and Dassault Systèmes are all based here.

The area is connected to the public transport network via the U-Bahn station Messestadt West (U2) and bus 139 (Paul-Wassermann-Straße). It is also directly connected to the A94 autobahn.

The 24.5-hectare area around Rappenweg is part of the development plan No. 1728g for the east of Munich that has been granted preliminary approval. One idea is to build a dense, multi-use, and sustainable district with housing and space for business and retail on the section of the site earmarked for commercial use. The ecological and financial feasibility of the undertaking is currently being evaluated.

Space for a potential future city-owned business park at Rappenweg has already been identified.
