ADDITIONAL RENTAL AGREEMENTS FOR MUNICH OFFICE BUILDING SKYGARDEN

CA Immo has concluded additional rental agreements totalling around 2,800 m² (30,138 ft²) of gross floor space for the office building SKYGARDEN in Munich’s Arnulfpark.

 

The tenants include the globally active law firm Dechert LLP, which will move its Munich headquarters into the building and will rent an area measuring around 1,500 m2 (16,145 ft2).

“Moving into the highly efficient and architecturally outstanding office building SKYGARDEN will underscore our conception of ourselves as one of the leading international chambers for commercial law. We also feel that we are in excellent company in the neighbourhood of other innovative and international companies in Arnulfpark. The sustainability of the building is also important to us, expressed not only through future-oriented energy management, but also underlined by optimal public transport links”, comments Federico G. Pappalardo, Managing Partner at Dechert LLP, when asked about the choice of SKYGARDEN.

The service provider for business travel Egencia GmbH, the patent agents Forresters, the financial services company Finera GmbH and OFB Projektentwicklung GmbH have also concluded rental agreements for SKYGARDEN. The largest tenant in the building, whose gross floor space totals around 34,000 m2 (365,972 ft2), is the consulting and auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers, which acquired around 17,500 m² (188,368 ft2) of gross floor space when the building was completed in August 2011.

The SKYGARDEN office building was conceived and realised as a green building, and designed by architects Bothe Richter Teherani (BRT). The most prominent feature of the building, which is situated directly on the Hackerbrücke (Hacker Bridge), are the large winter gardens that encompass several floors. These not only improve the climatic conditions, but also optimise the building’s energy concept. LEED Gold certification is currently being prepared.

In recent years, countless international companies have taken up residence in CA Immo’s Arnulfpark development. They include the pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb, the auditing and consulting company Ernst & Young as well as Altran, a consulting company specialising in high technology.
