The vibrant Schwabinger Tor quarter, where more than 3,000 people will live and work, is taking shape along Leopold­straße in Schwabing, Munich. It consists of nine buildings arranged around public squares and various green spaces with exciting playgrounds – offering all you need for a colourful life. Residents and visitors alike will benefit from a wide range of shops, manufac­turers, restaurants, an art collective and a weekly market, creating a wonderful atmosphere for all. Modern small-scale rented offices, 210 individual attractive apartments and an interna­tional lifestyle boutique Andaz hotel fill the city quarter with life.

“Sharing” is becoming the new ethic in consumer behaviour and will bring about a permanent change in habits, both in private and profes­sional life. Schwabinger Tor will embodythis social development today. It’s a place where kindred spirits will come together to share their lives. Alongside classic car- and bike-sharing schemes and innovative services that promote contact between everyone in the quarter, the sharing principle will also be of particular benefit to companies, start-ups and freelancers in the area. Not only will the office spaces give rise to new work forms as co-working spaces, but the abilities of local talent will be interlinked in an invaluable way, promoting cooperation . The Schwabing quarter will at all times represent an open and open-minded lifestyle. The Schwabing bohemian life was full of artists, intellectuals, writers, actors and free spirits. Today, the quarter remains shaped by art and culture, an interna­tional public and a buzzing cultural scene. Schwabinger Tor embraces this vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere and provides space for tolerance and talent to thrive.

A quick glance into the future makes it clear: it will be these innovative talents that shape the world of tomorrow, moulding it and giving it a face – and not just in economic terms. TalentTrust will be set up in Schwabinger Tor to focus on supporting young talent, following in the historic tradition of the Schwabing quarter: according to a decree issued by the art-loving Prince Regent Luitpold, every new building in Schwabing had to have a studio for artists.

Tempted by art and culture: Schwabinger Tor will become the new home of an art collective. Public studios, galleries, event areas and shops will create a charming, inviting atmosphere. The whole quarter should enable everyone to enjoy an incredible range of events and art shows in all the different public spaces.
