Corporate headquarters for VR-Bank Bayern

ZÜBLIN had already provided the general planning services in advance. STRABAG's "Central Technology" competence center was also involved in this project.

The new "DonauTower" building complex consists of a 57 m high tower and a base building with six upper floors. Construction work began in mid-2022 with the excavation of the construction pit and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2024.

STRABAG Real Estate (SRE) is also involved in the "DonauTower" project: in 2019, the financial company commissioned SRE as a service developer to prepare the construction site for construction in a project-related development plan, among other things.

Partnering for project success

The collaboration between Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Bayern Mitte eG and ZÜBLIN is based on the TEAMCONCEPT^® partnering model, which focuses on involving the construction partner in the planning process at an early stage and handling construction projects as partners.

"Every project is unique and has its own challenges and opportunities. With TEAMCONCEPT® we can recognize and take these into account at an early stage. Following the successful completion of the planning phase with VR-Bank, we are now looking forward to putting the project into practice," says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE.

Once completed, the new building with its 14-storey tower and base building will offer around 10,500 m² of usable space. Half of this will be occupied by VR-Bank, while the remaining 5,200 m² will be let on a freehold basis.

In addition to office and commercial space, the building complex will offer a café with outdoor catering on the first floor and two roof gardens on the 1st and 6th floors. Trees up to seven meters high are to grow there.

The building will be constructed using energy-efficient construction methods with technologies such as concrete core temperature control and a PV system on the roof. Certification with the DGNB sustainability seal in gold is also planned.
