This 38-storey administration building was erected in a prominent position in close proximity to the Olympic Park, the television tower and the BMW high-rise structure in the north of Munich. With a height of 146 metres, the new development is the tallest office block in the city to date. Situated on the middle ring road, one of the main traffic arteries around Munich, it stands, significantly enough, on the edge of the inner city. In a public ballot held in 2004, namely, it was decided that no buildings more than 100 metres in height should be allowed within this area. The new high-rise block is flanked by a “campus” with four seven-storey office tracts. These are linked with each other by a curved louvred roof and glazed walls that form a protecting screen against noise. The development includes a further building, containing 139 dwellings. This ensemble is complemented by a central boulevard, with pine trees planted in the open areas.
