Art-Invest Real Estate has signed a long-term lease agreement with Hensoldt for approximately 12,300 sqm of office space at the Xperience Quartier development in Taufkirchen near Munich.
Construction of the mixed-use project, located on Ludwig-Bölkow-Allee, began in August 2025 with Köster acting as general contractor. The office component is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2027, while the hotel section is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2028.
Designed by HENN, the Xperience Quartier is being developed opposite the Technical University of Munich’s Space Valley aerospace campus. The site is also close to the headquarters of Airbus and the Jochen Schweizer Arena leisure and events venue.
The development will comprise two 27-metre-high buildings connected by a central plaza and supported by a parking garage. Once completed, the scheme will provide more than 22,000 sqm of office, hotel and conference space alongside 358 parking spaces.
Hensoldt, which specialises in sensor technologies for defence and security applications, will fully occupy one of the two buildings. The new premises will accommodate more than 400 employees and include a dedicated executive area. The company’s current headquarters in Taufkirchen is located around one kilometre from the new development.
Inka Tews, CHRO of Hensoldt, said the relocation would create modern working environments designed to support collaboration and innovation while reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to Taufkirchen.
Tobias Wilhelm, Managing Director of Art-Invest Real Estate in Munich, said the agreement reflects continued demand for high-quality office environments from companies operating in the technology, defence and aerospace sectors. He added that the project responds to evolving workplace requirements through a hybrid and urban mixed-use concept.
BNP Paribas advised on the lease transaction, while GSK Stockmann acted as legal adviser to the landlord. Financing for the development is being provided by UniCredit through a green loan structure.
