Central Tower München, Office building in Schwanthalerhöhe, Munich, Germany.
Central Tower is a high-rise office building in Schwanthalerhöhe that rises 85 meters with 23 floors of contemporary workspaces. The structure combines glass and steel elements to create a sleek rectangular form that stands out in the neighborhood.
Lend Lease Real Estate Investments GmbH developed the complex and completed it in 2002; it opened as Munich City Tower. At the end of 2009, owners Rockpoint Group and Freo renamed it Central Tower. In early 2014, Talanx Asset Management, part of the Talanx insurance group, bought the building for just over 80 million euros.
The tower's name changed from Munich City Tower to Central Tower at the end of 2009, when owners Rockpoint Group and Freo renamed it. In early 2014 it was sold to Talanx Asset Management, the asset manager of the Talanx insurance group, for a price reported at just over 80 million euros.
The building sits near public transportation connections and is part of an established business district. Access to the interior is limited to business purposes, so the exterior is the main point of interest for visitors passing through.
The 30-metre antenna on the roof brings the tower's total height to 115 metres, making it Munich's third-tallest building. Across the Donnersbergerbrücke stands the architecturally similar Mercedes office tower in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, a deliberate visual counterpart at the district boundary.
