Tucherpark is becoming a new district: the “Eisbachviertel”, or Eisbach district – Munich’s first city-centre district in a green setting. A unique place that combines living, working and leisure in a natural environment, it is being created on a historic site in a central location with a total area of 14 hectares. Some 10 hectares are dedicated to nature, including green spaces, mature trees, biotopes and the Eisbach river, which runs through the entire district, connecting it all. Diverse, sustainable and forward-thinking.

At least 600 new apartments will be built in the new Tucherpark. But that is just the beginning. Instead of simply creating a one-dimensional living space, the new Tucherpark in the Eisbach district is based on a holistic urban and residential design concept. A nature-filled, lively district with modern leisure and sports facilities, new offices on the doorstep – for living and working in the same place, with day-care facilities, a health centre, a hotel and restaurants, a supermarket, the “Eisbachwelle” (surfing wave), and much more. In short, it’s a district where nature and people come first. Today, we call it “green urban living”; tomorrow, it will be considered the norm.

All areas of the new Tucherpark in the Eisbach district are scheduled for completion by mid-2029. The first office spaces are expected to be ready for tenants to move into by the end of 2026. We will share milestones until then. So please check back here occasionally.

Whether on foot, on wheels or by underground: the new Tucherpark in the Eisbach district boasts short distances within Munich. Want to go to Marienplatz? Just hop on your bike and get there in 10 minutes. The underground, the bus and even a new tram stop – currently in the planning stage – are all within walking distance. Even within the district, everything can be reached in 15 minutes max. There is also plenty of space in the underground car parks, complemented by above-ground smart-mobility hubs (bike, e-bike and e-scooter hire). There is something for everyone: distances are short, and everything is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, we are planning to offer existing car parks for overnight parking to future residents, while offices can make them available to their employees during the day. Dual use for greater efficiency. Fewer parking spaces and more efficient use of the garages are just some of the many aspects of our integrated mobility concept for the future.

Let’s take a short leap into history: with the ensemble of listed buildings in the Tucherpark (named after Baron von Tucher, then spokesman of the board of the Bayerische Vereinsbank, now HypoVereinsbank or UniCredit), the renowned German architect Sep Ruf (Sep Ruf Gesellschaft e.V.) designed a modern vision of the future back in 1969. He created light-flooded, transparent buildings whose DNA still defines our future development.

However, the redesign of the Tucherpark in the Eisbach district affects not only the buildings, but also the entire area of mature nature and architecture. We are developing a prototype for future urban living: a lively district that combines living, working, healthcare and leisure in one place.

Until now, Tucherpark has been a separate area from the English Garden, previously used for industrial purposes. This will change with the new development. Opening up the site will create a gradual, low-impact connection to the English Garden; what was once separate will now merge.

The existing green spaces and the animals and plants will be naturally integrated into the new Tucherpark in the Eisbach district. Covering 10 hectares of nature in the centre of Munich, the whole area serves as a set of vast “green lungs”. Mature trees, biotopes and the Eisbach river form the natural backdrop for a recreational living and working environment.

The architecture will be converted into a carbon-neutral showpiece project, setting new standards for Munich. Sun and water are the renewable foundation in terms of energy: photovoltaic panels on all the roofs supply the new district with environmentally friendly energy; the Eisbach river feeds the hydroelectric power plant, which supplies the apartments on the site with green electricity. Waste heat from the data centre is intelligently used to heat the hotel and offices. Many other sustainability measures, such as heat pumps and smart building communications, make the district so sustainable.
