Project Development

Arabellahaus

The Arabellahaus: innovative and versatile

1966 saw the start of construction on what is probably the most famous building in Arabellapark, the Arabellahaus. It is one of the first major development projects carried out by the company's founder, Josef Schörghuber, and its mix of uses was considered pioneering at the time.

 

Impressive and multifunctional

Striking facade

The ornamental details of the facade structure define the building's striking appearance.

A city within the city

The Arabellahaus remains to this day the centerpiece of the Arabellapark.

Cityscape defining

The Westin Grand Munich, the Arabellahaus and the "Mae West" sculpture are defining features of Arabellapark.

Overnight stays, conferences and relaxation

The Four Points by Sheraton Munich Arabellapark Hotel: The combination of four-star hotel and extended-stay apartments is unique in Germany.

New edition of a classic

The different types of use (hotel, residential, clinic, doctors' offices, commercial/office, retail) are layered horizontally over 23 floors in the 75-meter-high and 150-meter-long building. This concept still works today.

 

However, after approximately 50 years, the Arabellahaus is coming to the end of its functional life. Bayerische Hausbau is therefore planning a new building in which both the mix of uses and their assignment to specific floors are to be retained.
