From “Liberty Corner” to “Free Word Memorial”…

Once, on the ruins of the Censorship Headquarters, in joint venture with Polish Press Agency (PAP), Von der Heyden Group built the ‘Liberty Corner’ building, the symbol of freedom, the symbol of free market economy and co-operation between companies and people of diverse nationalities. We feel very honoured that on June 5, 2014 under the Patronage of the President of Poland, Mr Bronisław Komorowski, the idea of freedom spread into ‘Free Word Memorial’ at the ‘Free Word Square’.

Sven von der Heyden, Chairman of Von der Heyden Group, said:

‘When thinking about our nearly 25 years of positive experience in Poland I tend to get sentimental at times. When we invented at the time the name ‘Liberty Corner’ for our flagship-development as an exclamation mark behind the destruction of the former communistic censorship office, we could have not paid enough tribute to this brave country. It is nice to see that the Mysia square has received the biggest distinction being called ‘Free Word Square’ and now also received the ‘Free Word Memorial’. May Poland and the Von der Heyden Group prosper for the next quarter of the century’.

Bavaria Towers, Munich

Die mit der Projektentwicklung beauftragte Bayern Projekt GmbH gibt bekannt, dass eine Tochtergesellschaft der Hospitality Alliance AG einen langfristigen Pachtvertrag für einen der beiden geplanten Türme der Bogenhausener Tor Immobilien GmbH, Investmentgesellschaft der Investorengruppe um die Von der Heyen Group, abgeschlossen hat.

Damit sind bereits ca. 40% der im Teilprojekt der Bogenhausener Tor Immobilien GmbH geplanten Flächen vermietet.

Der Pachtvertrag mit einer Festlaufzeit von 20 Jahren wurde für ein geplantes Ramada Hotel der Vier-Sterne Kategorie abgeschlossen.

Betrieben wird das Hotel von dem europaweit größten Franchisenehmer für Ramada Hotels, der erfahrenen Hospitality Alliance AG, aus Bad Arolsen. Konkret sind in dem künftigen Vier-Sterne-Hotel auf rd. 15.000 m2 ca. 344 Zimmer und Panoramasuiten sowie eine insgesamt ca. 700 m2 umfassende Konferenzebene geplant. Zur besonderen Attraktivität werden im obersten der insgesamt 15-geschossigen Hotelimmobilie ein großzügiger Wellnessbereich sowie eine Skybar und Executive Lounge angeordnet. Von hier wird man dann auf ca. 45 m Höhe einen Panoramablick über München, dem Voralpenland, der Messe sowie der Innenstadt genießen können.

Das Hotel-Hochhaus wird in hochwertiger Bauqualität ausgeführt und ist für eine LEED Gold Zertifizierung angemeldet.

Die Inbetriebnahme ist Mitte 2017 geplant.

Das Hotel entsteht als Teil eines neuen städtebaulichen Ensembles aus insgesamt vier markanten Hochhaustürmen unterschiedlicher Höhe, die ein neues Stadtportal im Münchner Osten zur Innenstadt, zur Messe und internationalen Kongresscenter formen werden. Eingefasst wird das Ensemble über eine zusammenhängende Landschaftsplanung, die in Anlehnung an das Voralpengebiet eine hügelige Gräser- und Baumlandschaft vorsieht, verbunden mit einem zentralen Platz mit Aufenthaltsqualität im Inneren des Quartiers. Abgerundet wird das Projekt von einer rd. 450 Stellplätzen umfassende Tiefgarage.

Als verantwortliche Architekten zeichnen das renommierte spanische Architekturbüro Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, Sieger des in 2008 ausgeschriebenen internationalen landschaftsplanerischen und städtebaulichen Ideenwettbewerbs, sowie das erfahrene Münchner Architekturbüro Lauber + Zottmann für die Planung des 15-geschossigen Hotels im Rahmen des Gesamtprojektes BOGENHAUSENER TOR verantwortlich.

Nachdem vor wenigen Wochen nach einem mehrjährigen Bauleitplanverfahren der Bebauungsplan durch den Stadtrat der Stadt München beschlossen wurde und der Bauantrag in Kürze bei den Behörden eingereicht wird, ist dies bereits die zweite bedeutende Erfolgsmeldung für das Ausnahmeprojekt am Stadteingang vom Münchner Osten in die Innenstadt.

Die verantwortlichen Unternehmen:

Die Unternehmensgruppe Von der Heyden wurde im Jahr 1989 gegründet und versteht sich als pan-europäischer Investor und Entwickler. Seit 1989 haben die Unternehmen, die Teil der Von der Heyden Group sind, ein Investitionsprogramm im Immobilienbereich mit einem Wert von mehr als 275 Millionen Euro realisiert. Gegenwärtig laufen Investitionsvorhaben und/oder Ankäufe für weitere rund 75 Millionen Euro in Polen und Deutschland welches das realisierte Gesamtvolumen inklusive der Entwicklung des BOGENHAUSENER TORS auf bis Ende 2016 auf rund 500 Millionen Euro ansteigen lassen wird.

Sven von der Heyden, Chairman der Von der Heyden Group: “Ich freue mich, dass die langjährige Phase der Baurechtschaffung vor kurzem endlich erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurde und wir bereits zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt einen ersten großen Vermarktungserfolg erzielen konnten. Das Projekt BOGENHAUSENER TOR ist eines der wenigen neuen Leuchtturmprojekte in München, einem der stabilsten und gefragtesten Anlagehäfen für Immobilieninvestitionen weltweit. In unserem Projekt vereinen sich erfolgreiche, internationale Architektur bestmöglich mit den Erwartungen und Bedürfnissen der künftigen Nutzer und Eigentümer, Panoramablick über die Stadt und Fernblick in die Berge inklusive.”

Seit über 15 Jahren liegt sein Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt auf der professionellen Entwicklung, Durchführung und dem Management von ausgewählten Immobilieninvestitionen. Als Investor und Entwickler sowie Asset-Manager liegt der regionale Fokus der Bayern Projekt GmbH auf dem Bundesland Bayern mit Schwerpunkt München.

Das kontinuierliche Wachstum, die überdurchschnittliche Leistungsbilanz bei der Abwicklung verschiedener Projekte wie auch die Durchführung der Entwicklung des Großprojektes “Stadtportal München-Ost/Bogenhausener Tor” haben die Bayern Projekt GmbH während der letzten Jahre zu einem führenden Marktteilnehmer in München werden lassen.

Sven Renz, geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der Bayern Projekt GmbH und Geschäftsführer der Bogenhausener Tor Immobilien GmbH: “Der Abschluss dieses bedeutenden Pachtvertrages ist ein erster wichtiger Meilenstein in der Vermarktung des gesamten neuen Stadtquartiers. Wir freuen uns mit der inhabergeführten Hospitality Alliance AG und den dahinterstehenden Personen einen so starken und erfahrenen Partner für diesen Standort gefunden zu haben, da uns dies in unseren Visionen entsprechend
bestätigt.

Durch diesen Abschluss erhält das Quartier eine Aufwertung bezüglich der Infrastruktur, beispielsweise durch Gastronomie- und Konferenzflächen, die in Verbindung mit den geplanten Bürotürmen hohe Synergieeffekte für die künftigen Nutzer des Areals nach sich ziehen werden.”

Die Hospitality Alliance AG mit Sitz im hessischen Bad Arolsen und Standorten in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz zählt zu den größten Hotelbetreibern Deutschlands. Zu der familiengeführten Unternehmensgruppe mit rund 2.800 Mitarbeitern und mehr als 9.600 Zimmern gehören Hotels der Marken RAMADA sowie der Eigenmarke TREFF HOTELS und des eigenen Budgetbrands H2 Hotels. Mit eigenen Servicegesellschaften – einer zentralen Buchhaltung und Controlling, einer Werbe- und Marketingagentur, einer Objektausstattung und einem Einkaufssystem sowie eigener Softwareentwicklung – werden bestehende und neue Hotels komplett aus qualifizierten Fachleuten seit über 50 Jahren gesteuert und verwaltet.

Alexander Fitz
Hospitality Alliance AG

“Wir freuen uns außerordentlich, dass an so einem bedeutenden städtebaulichen und architektonisch eindrucksvollen Projekt wie dem neuen Bogenhausener Tor maßgeblich beteiligt sind und hier ein weiteres bedeutendes 4-Sterne-Haus realisieren können. München ist für uns eine Herzenssache mit hervorragender Zukunftsperspektive, und das zeigen wir gern mit dem dann bereits vierten Objekt in der bayrischen Metropole”.

‘Długi Targ’ Hotel development project in the heart of Gdańsk Old Town!

  • Debt financing closed!
  • Start of construction works:  September 2015!
  • Opening of IBB Długi Targ Hotel Gdańsk: Spring 2017!

With history of over 1000 years, Gdańsk is one of the oldest, one of the most dynamic and one of the most popular tourist destination in Poland. Together with Gdynia and Sopot, Gdańsk forms a conurbation of over 1.2 mln inhabitants. Gdańsk, as the capital of the Pomerania Province is also an important academic and business centre in the country.

‘Długi Targ’ Hotel Project – a unique property acquired by Von der Heyden Group in a complex tender from Millenium Bank back in 2006, it is located in the most attractive part in the heart of Gdańsk, at the corner of historical Długi Targ Boulevard and Mieszczanska Street, almost opposite to the Neptun’s Statute and the Dwór Artusa Building.

In the middle of February 2015, ‘Długi Targ’ Hotel Project has obtained bank financing. From among all banks invited to co-operation, the best offer was made by Alior Bank S.A.

On closing, Sven von der Heyden, Von der Heyden Group’s Chairman said: ‘It has taken us an unusually long time to move ahead with this beautiful project. First our dreams got shattered by the financial crisis and the consequential loss of financing for Hotel developments in Europe and in particular in Poland. Then we had other projects going in the Von der Heyden Group such as Munich and Poznan, which needed 100 % of our attention. The suffered delays are really not a problem as we own 3 properties in a marvellous location and once the location is great, time is not that important. We are now full of enthusiasm for the project ‘Długi Targ’ and are convinced that the new IBB Długi Targ Hotel Gdansk will be financially very succcessful’.

The Investor is currently in the process to close the design works with a local architect Michał Skwarło and Tomasz Wojtkowiak – interior designer, prepare technical documentation and organise a tender for the General Contractor. Construction works are planned to start in September 2015 and finish in spring 2017.

Adam Trybusz, the President of the Management Board of Długi Targ Sp. z o.o., a special purpose vehicle to implement the project, and finance partner said: ‘There are locations in which you have faith in against any economic calculation, consultants and other IRR enthusiasts. You just believe in it, you stay patient and humble and the time comes when they all change their minds and your project receives the second life. It’s also the right timimg. This is what we experience now, we are awarded for our faith into the ‘Długi Targ’ project.’

The ‘Długi Targ’ development project (estimated investment value: Euro 11 mln) is based on refurbishment and conversion of three historical semidetached city houses into a unique hotel in a unique place.

The initial concept of Von der Heyden Group was to create a top 5* refined boutique hotel, however, due to changing market environment, the initial idea responded the local market needs and an efficient and trendy 3* Superior hotel will be created. The characteristics of the external façade will be carefully preserved, however at the same time, the interiors will be modern and full of innovative solutions.

The Investor is in possesion of all permits to start the construction. At first, the tender for the General Contractor will be organised and closed by the summer 2015. There are also works conducted on the technical design in order to increase the number of hotel rooms and decide on the function of the groundfloor. Construction works will start not earlier than in September 2015 in order not to interfere with unique holiday atmosphere at Długi Targ Boulevard.

The newly opened hotel that is planned for Spring 2017, will be operated by a dynamic hotel group: IBB Hotel Collection (IBBHC). IBBHC in Poland successully operates renowned to 4* hotels like: IBB Grand Hotel Lublinianka in Lublin and IBB Hotel Andersia in Poznań, both enjoying the best results in terms of REVPAR and occupancy. IBBBHC operates as well two 4* hotels in Germany and three 4 and 3* hotels in Spain (more info about IBBHC: www.ibbhotels.com).

In the new hotel in Gdańsk, guests will have 88 rooms and comfortable apartments at their disposal located on four floors. The venue will offer almost 1.000 sqm for retail lease, or hotel additional services, such as e.g. a restaurant, beauty centre and exquisite boutiques. The city of Gdańsk will offer unforgettable memories and numerous events like e.g. St. Dominic’s Fair that is held in Długi Targ Boulevard, it’s the oldest dated from the 13th century, the most famous, and one of the largest open air events in Europe that attracts about 6.5 mln guests to Gdańsk every summer.

Von der Heyden Group to develop Gdańsk hotel

Von der Heyden Group plans on renovating three historical semi-detached tenement houses located at the heart of Gdańsk in order to convert them into the IBB Blue Hotel.

Located at the corner of the historical Long Market (Długi Targ) and ul. Mieszczańska, the buildings will be transformed into a three-star hotel with 88 rooms spread across four floors. The hotel will also offer 1,000 sqm of retail and services space earmarked either for lease or for the hotel’s own use, for instance for a restaurant or a beauty clinic. The project is estimated at EUR 11 mln. The start of the refurbishment work is planned for September 2015, with the completion scheduled for spring 2017. Although Von der Heyden Group bought the property from Millenium Bank in 2006, the development process was delayed due to the economic crisis and the company’s commitment to other projects. The design work is now nearing completion, while technical documentation is being prepared for a tender procedure for the general contractor. The closing of the tender is planned for this summer. Local architect Michał Skwarło and interior designer Tomasz Wojtkowiak are responsible for creating the project’s architectural design. “The delays we experienced were really not a problem as we own three properties in a marvelous location and since the location is great, timeline is not that important. We are enthusiastic about the ‘Długi Targ’ project, as we call it, and remain convinced that the new hotel will be a financial success,” said Sven von der Heyden, the chairman of the Von der Heyden Group.

Bavaria Towers – the new gateway to Munich starts construction!

Von der Heyden Group jointly with PORR AG announce to have signed the construction agreement on the Blue Tower and the White Tower forming part of one of the most spectacular development projects in the Bavarian capital in a strategic location in Munich known as ‘Bavaria Towers’ Ensemble. The estimated investment value of the Blue and White Tower is Euro 160 mln.

The Bavaria Towers building complex designed by star duo from Madrid, Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos will be comprised in total of fourpentagonal high-rises (77.651 sqm of total gross rental area, two central underground car parks with a total of 960 spaces for cars including places for electric cars bicycles with changing rooms and showers for cyclists): Sky Tower (83.6m high), Blue Tower (72.3m high, 24,347sqm, 300 parking spaces), Star Tower (46.1m high) andWhite Tower (53.6m high,15.150sqm, 140 parking spaces. The latter building is already rented to Ramada Hotels for 20 years that will host there a four star hotel with 344 luxury rooms and panorama suites with a large spa and fitness area on the 14th floor). Bavaria Towers will offer an impressive panorama view and breath-taking views over Munich and the Alps beyond.

Covering a total area of app. 11,000 sqm, the plot is the property of Bogenhausener Tor Immobilien GmbH, initiated by the Von der Heyden Group and co-owned with Luxembourg based Atlant Capital. The Munich-based Bayern Projekt GmbH is tasked with project development and representing the interests of the owners and also representing Zurich Insurance, the owners of the future Sky and Star Towers.

Negotiations between Von der Heyden Group and PORR have taken more than 6 months, considerably long due to the complexity of the project. Construction time is foreseen for 38 months including demolitions works of the existing buildings that shall start on June 15, 2015.

Mr. Sven von der Heyden, Chairman of the Von der Heyden Group, was excited upon signing the construction agreement saying‘This is the largest construction agreement we have ever signed and it was the logical choice to give PORR the trust for starting this exciting project, which took us more than 8 years to plan and design and get the Master plan changes approved. Given the exceptionally good experience we have made with PORR in Poland, we do look forward completing our part of Bavaria Towers with Austria’s second largest construction company. We are glad that the marketing of the project goes along expectations and hope to be able to announce further news in the coming months’.

‘It is a great honour for PORR that the von der Heyden Group has chosen our subsidiary PORR Deutschland to realise the Munich’s most modern real estate ensemble. We are already familiar with the Bavaria Towers project, as we have been intensely involved from the beginning of the planning process. Right from the start, the focus has been on Value Engineering: with the in-depth market knowledge of the von der Heyden Group and our extensive experience and expertise as a general contractor, we have developed a highly promising solution together’, said Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO of PORR AG, on what is the largest building construction tender for the German subsidiary to date.

The construction of Bavaria Towers calls on the extensive expertise in a full range of services from PORR and its subsidiaries: the PORR Design & Engineering team is responsible for the design. PORR Environmental Engineering will handle the professional demolition works applying innovative technology. The experts from Stump Spezialtiefbau will take care of the demanding construction pit. For the building itself, PORR Deutschland’s building construction experts will showcase their professionalism together with the Austrian specialists from the large-scale projects department.

PORR has worked with the von der Heyden Group for many years in Poland. Thanks to the successful collaboration on realising previous projects, our cooperation today is based on a deep mutual trust – this is a key success factor in a project of this size‘, said Karl-Heinz Strauss.

The dynamic metropolis of Munich is one of Germany’s leading business locations and one of Europe’s most attractive urban centres. Home of the famous pioneering Bavarian spirit, no other city unites tradition and cutting-edge modernity in quite the same way.

The Bavaria Towers have strategic location being ideally located at Einsteinstraße and Prinzregentenstraße, two of the main arterial roads to downtown Munich, right where the A94 motorway meets the Mittlerer Ring central ring road. While the A94 connects the areas east of Munich with the city center, the Mittlerer Ring connects all downtown districts with the main arterial roads.

Situated in the Bogenhausen district on the eastern edge of Munich, Bavaria Towers Project create a stunning new gateway to the city– offering businesses a unique opportunity to claim a spot on one of the major thoroughfares into the regional capital. Sky Tower, the highest building in the Bavaria Towers Project with a height of 83.6 metres will be one of the tallest structures in the city and will be seen for miles around. It will be the first building that millions of visitors to the metropolis see when arriving from the east.

Munich has the tightest restrictions in Germany when it comes to building high-rises. According to the “high-rise decision” (Hochhausentscheid) of 2004, high-rises within the Mittlerer Ring central ring road are only permitted if they are not higher than the towers of the Frauenkirche church and fit in with the city’s overall architecture. Still, and probably for this exact reason, each high-rise enjoys a high-degree of distinction and prestige. Munich’s top roof terraces in Bavaria Towers will be perfect location for unforgettable receptions and events in a unique setting. Designed floor-to-ceiling glass panels guard against the elements ensure a pleasant environment whatever the weather.

The fixtures and fittings in Bavaria Towers combine leading-edge materials, minimalist design and state-of-the-art building systems. The ensemble offers the perfect environment for innovative enterprises, supporting tomorrow’s world of work. There are two central underground parking garages with a total of 960 spaces, and every tower boasts its own driveway and a large, spacious lobby. Highspeed elevators take you directly to the office floors, in line with any conceivable usage concept: from individual to open-plan offices, or a combination of both. Moreover, full-length windows and a floor-toceiling height of three metres and up to 3.8 meters in the top floors lend a roomy, airy feeling to the rental units. The upmarket design is rounded out by premium features such as external solar protection and openable window elements for natural ventilation.

Bavaria Towers is a perfect example for a sustainable design, embodying an end-to-end energy efficiency concept – from the double-skin façade structure to the district heating system. The White Tower and The Blue Tower buildings are set to achieve gold-level LEED certification.
