Germany's most sustainable urban neighbourhood KIRSCHGÄRTEN in Munich receives DGNB platinum development certificate

General

Congratulations to ECKPFEILER Immobilien Gruppe GmbH on receiving the DGNB Platinum development certificate – with the highest result ever achieved for a neighbourhood certification and a degree of fulfilment of around 90%. The award was presented on 8 October at the EXPO REAL trade fair in Munich. A remarkable success and a strong sign of our commitment to sustainable building!

Our planning team contributed to the success of the project with comprehensive building physics services and supported the client in obtaining federal funding for climate-friendly new builds at efficiency house level 40 (EH40).

The new residential neighbourhood is being built on a site of around 12 hectares in the popular Untermenzing district, where green spaces and life on the banks of the River Würm ensure a high quality of life. The plans include around 1,300 flats, a primary school, daycare centres and a neighbourhood square with a café, as well as a spacious landscaped park that will promote community life in the neighbourhood.

The ‘Kirschgelände’, which was previously used as a warehouse and logistics site, has been unsealed since the beginning of 2024 and transformed into a lively residential environment. 400 newly planted trees, green roof terraces and numerous recreational opportunities will create a new living space for people and nature. The well thought-out energy concept includes the use of CO2-neutral groundwater heat pumps and large photovoltaic systems on the roofs.

We are looking forward to the start of construction of the first
