Swiss
architects
Herzog
&
de Meuron, which was also
responsible for the Beijing Olympic
stadium, transformed the former
HypoVereinsbank headquarters site
into a vibrant old town city centre
destination. Four of the five courts
were acquired by Union Investment
Real Estate in 2003, the fifth court,
although included in the scheme, is
retained by HypoVereinsbank.
The development represents a
major urban regeneration success
story. Each day, the centre receives
around 25,000 visitors, attracted
by the unique ambience created
by its architecture, shops, cafés,
restaurants,
businesses
and
residential spaces. The halo effect
of the Fünf Höfe CityQuartier can
be felt throughout the adjoining
neighbourhoods and wider Munich.
Cushman & Wakefield’s retail
team in Germany has been a part
of the success story of Fünf Höfe
CityQuartier, having placed a
number of premium brands into the
centre over the last decade. Just
counting the last three years, these
brands include
René Lezard, Twin
Set Simona Barbieri, Falconeri,
Michael Kors
and premium
restaurant
Pageou
in 2014;
Bogner
Fire & Ice, Karl Lagerfeld
and
Jacques Britt
in 2013; and
7 For All
Mankind
and
Guess
in 2012.
Of the premium brands recently
placed by Cushman & Wakefield,
René Lezard
, a German premium
women’s and men’s fashion brand,
opened in the late summer of 2014;
Twin Set Simona Barbieri,
a high
quality Italian women’s fashion
brand, opened its first store in
Germany in the autumn of 2014;
and the Italian
Calzedonia

opened its first Falconeri branded
store (specialising in cashmere and
more refined natural knitwear for
men and women) in Germany in
December 2014.
