Is the Paktposthallen investor Ralf Büschl also building the wholesale market hall?
The negotiations are on the home stretch, they say.
If the Büschl company steps in, it would probably have to be re-planned.
Because then apartments should also be built.
Munich - The real estate entrepreneur Ralf Büschl (parcel post hall) will apparently get involved as an investor for the new building of the wholesale market hall.
As our newspaper has learned, the negotiations should be on the home stretch.
It also says that the Grünwald company also wants to build apartments on the site in Sendling.
However, the previous plans had not provided for this.
So it would have to be re-planned.
A press inquiry to Büschl went unanswered.
New wholesale market hall in Munich: Completion probably not before 2030
The original concept of the Umschlagzentrum Großmarkt München (UGM) envisaged an office complex with an area of around 60,000 square meters on the roof of the new Großmarkthalle. That would have provided space for around 3,000 additional workplaces. The building on the area between Schäftlarnstrasse and Thalkirchner Strasse would have been up to 70 meters high and would in turn have provided space for all of the approximately 400 operations in the wholesale market. By bundling the dealers, a total of 14 hectares would be free south of Thalkirchner Strasse, on which 1550 apartments could be built. However, a year ago it became known that the completion of the new wholesale market hall was not expected until 2030 at the earliest.
The UGM had already presented the project in 2018 as a project manager to take over the property between Schäftlarnstrasse and Thalkirchner Strasse from the city on a long lease in order to have an investor build a replacement for the wholesale market halls.
This is necessary because the building is ailing.
By 2024 alone, the city will have to invest a total of 30 million euros in order to secure the hall statically and technically.
The city of Munich wanted to build the wholesale market hall itself - but that was too expensive
The city once wanted to build the new building itself, but the costs ran away at some point. In 2017, the municipal department calculated with investments of almost 160 million euros. The city hall majority at the time, made up of the CSU and SPD, then cashed in on the city's plans and looked for a private investor who seemed to have been found in the UGM.
As has now become known, the negotiations between the city and UGM regarding the long-term lease agreement were not continued for a long period of time in 2020 and 2021.
Numerous details of the contract design are therefore still unclear.
City politics therefore want to push the pace.
Local government officer Kristina Frank (CSU) told our newspaper: "A very timely decision on how UGM wants to position itself in the future is essential so that we can get deeper into the negotiations again."
