Project description

Location

LUMEN enjoys a central, inner-city location at Sonnenstrasse 23, 80331 Munich, between Sendlinger Tor and Stachus. The property sits on a passageway connecting Sonnenstrasse and Herzog-Wilhelm-Strasse, and thus offers an attractive location that benefits from high footfall and prominent visibility. The site boasts a vibrant, urban setting and excellent transport connections, with public transport within walking distance and key road axes and commercial centers.

Property description

LUMEN is a modern new-build office and commercial development, with retail spaces on the ground floor and an underground car park. The C-shaped building with a central courtyard creates attractive livability and facilitates optimal natural light and flexible use of the spaces. The property has a total gross floor area of around 17,000 m² (12,500 m² above ground + 4,500 m² below ground), of which roughly 10,100 m² is office space (including on the ground floor) and around 1,100 m² is ground-floor commercial space. A total of 65 parking spaces are available.

Usage concept

The property offers modern, flexibly divisible office spaces from the first floor upwards, making it ideal for multi-tenant use. Companies benefit from the layout’s high adaptability, making it possible to tailor spaces to individual requirements and evolve with growing teams. The ground floor features an attractive retail unit that further enlivens the building and opens up wide-ranging potential uses.

Technical systems and sustainability

The building is equipped with modern technical systems and offers flexible office outfitting options. The technical infrastructure includes district heating and district cooling, high-performance technical building equipment, a photovoltaic system and a future-ready IT infrastructure. The property meets the highest sustainability and digitalization standards. Its environmental and economic quality has been recognized with DGNB Platinum certification, while its excellent digital infrastructure has received WiredScore Platinum certification.

Target group

LUMEN is specifically geared toward established companies, retailers and service providers that value a distinguished location offering a high degree of flexibility. Thanks to its central location and high-quality architecture, the property provides ideal conditions for wide-ranging usage concepts – from modern offices to attractive sales spaces.

Project status

Following demolition of the previous building (originally built in 1962), LUMEN was constructed from 2020 to 2023 (demolition 2020–2021; civil engineering 2021–2022; structural frame constructed by May 2023) and completed on schedule by December 2024. It is already successfully in operation: Alnatura moved in on 1 July 2024, while Zooplus commenced its tenancy on 12 December 2024. The operating authorization has been issued by the competent Urban Planning department and the Construction directorate.

Architecture

The project was designed by the renowned architectural firm Allmann Wappner (AW), which emerged as the winner from the workshop process in 2018/2019. AW’s designs impressed with their flexible layout, outstanding energy efficiency and architecture that blends harmoniously into the urban surroundings.
