JetBrains is an international software company from the Czech Republic (where it has its headquarters). It has offices in the USA, Russia, the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Germany (Munich). The company employs around 900 people – with approx.150 of these based in Munich. 

The MY.O building, designed by Maier. Neuberger. Architekten, will have a gross floor area of around 25,000 m² (269,100 ft²) after completion at the end of 2019. Other tenants of the building include Pentasys and Ecovis. The MY.O is located in the Nymphenburg district, in the immediate vicinity of the Laim S-Bahn station on Munich’s main line, and consists of a prominent main building and three additional adjoining buildings along the railway line, as well as a stand-alone building slightly set back.

The building’s architecture is characterised by the arched windows in the lower and upper floors, spanning both floors at times, and the striking green façade. It consciously utilises the style of industrial buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. This theme is continued in the building’s loft-like and spacious interior layout. The building concept is therefore particularly suited to the drastically changing requirements of the modern office and new ways of working. The focus is on maximum flexibility in terms of utilisation of space, combined with a highly efficient use of floorspace and an emphasis on providing a wide range of informal places to communicate, meet and work.

As with all of CA Immo’s office building developments, MY.O will be constructed as green buildings that adhere to strict sustainability criteria. Special attention was therefore paid during development to the provision of 20 e-charging stations for up to 40 cars – which corresponds to around 20% of the total car parking spaces. In addition, MY.O is located directly on the primary cycle path network and offers around 155 bicycle parking spaces, some of which are located inside the building, as well as showers and changing rooms. MY.O’s sustainable traffic concept is optimised by its location on Munich’s main suburban railway line – which guarantees quick connections to both the city centre and the airport. MY.O is seeking a Gold certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
