There are actually chances of finding a rental apartment in Munich: In the new district of Freiham, the large new development area in the west of Munich, 11,000 apartments for over 25,000 residents are currently being built. The previously undeveloped area derives its name from the nearby Gut Freiham, an attractive excursion destination where Bavarian cosiness is celebrated: sitting together, being together, having a good time – in Bavarian: zam. ZAM is also the name of the new center in Freiham Nord. Isaria München Projektentwicklungs GmbH is realizing a mixed-use quarter on two of the four construction sites for the Deutsche Wohnen Group. The consulting company Drees & Sommer SE, which specializes in construction and real estate, is supporting the Munich-based company in this project.
Isaria, a subsidiary of QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG, has specialized in the development of sustainable buildings and districts in urban areas for over 20 years. “We want to create a lively environment for residents and visitors. The contemporary mix of living, offices, retail and gastronomy makes ZAM the new attraction and meeting point in the west of Munich,” says Isaria Managing Director David Christmann.
Living with a view of the Alps
332 new rental apartments between 30 and more than 100 square meters are being built on a total of 43,000 square meters of floor space, so that both singles and families can find a home here. Not a single apartment is on the ground floor, because retail and gastronomy will be located on this 6,000 square meter area. You can’t live on the first floor either, but you can work better: A total of 5,400 square meters of office and practice space is available for rent. The apartments are on the floors above – and some even in the tower. Because the very special highlight of the district center will be a 61 meter high residential tower, in whose upper floors the residents can enjoy an impressive view of the Alps on a clear day. Arcades make the tower permeable to the outside in the direction of the public town square, while at the same time attracting visitors from there inwards. The building designs come from the Hamburg architects Störmer Murphy and Partners.
Green lungs for the city
In all planning, Isaria has firmly anchored the idea of sustainability in its goals. The project developer is aiming for DGNB certification in gold for the new city district. Not only green inner courtyards are planned, but also green roof areas that ensure biodiversity and can drain rainwater. A photovoltaic system secures part of the self-supply of electricity, heated and environmentally friendly via the connection to the district heating network. In addition, mechanical ventilation systems ensure highly efficient heat recovery. There are enough charging stations for cars and bicycles, as well as sharing offers such as car sharing, bike sharing and pedelecs for residents. Both buildings have energy efficiency standard KfW 55.
All cogs mesh
Construction began in January last year, and the shell of the high-rise building is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2023. The facade and interior design will follow, so that apartments, offices and commercial premises will be ready for occupancy in mid-2024. In order to realize such complex construction projects on time and on budget, all the cogs on the construction site have to mesh. Oliver Pasche, senior project team leader at Drees & Sommer responsible for construction management for the new quarter, is responsible for this: “A large number of players must work together to ensure that ZAM becomes such a sustainable and user-friendly quarter. Coordinating all those involved in the project is therefore a major challenge of the project,” he explains. To ensure that time and cost plans move within an improved framework, the team relies on the lean management concept adapted from the automotive industry. “At its core, lean construction management is about perfecting processes and identifying problems early on. We have a detailed schedule that is clocked to the day and the materials and machines are needed at what time,” explains Pasche. With this method, the construction experts can increase the construction progress by up to 30 percent compared to the procedure.
