Neufreimann MU 1(8) West
In Munich’s new Neufreimann neighborhood, MKE has launched 104 affordable housing units for professional groups that are important to the city’s community—all planned using a digital building model and designed for a high degree of prefabrication.
On the site of the former Bayernkaserne, the Neufreimann project—one of Germany’s largest urban development projects—is taking shape: Over the next few years, 5,500 apartments for up to 15,000 people will be built on approximately 60 hectares. MKE is making a concrete contribution to this effort on the MU 1(8) West construction site on Henny-Seidemann-Straße.
The plan calls for 104 affordable housing units with a total living area of approximately 6,533 m²: 68 apartments ranging from compact units to family-sized apartments, and 36 cluster units in six cluster buildings designed for communal living. These units are intended for professionals who play a vital role in a functioning urban community: caregivers, early childhood educators, police officers, and train conductors. After all, quality of life should not be a luxury.
The building is designed for industrial-scale production: From the 2nd to the 6th floor, the floor plan is largely identical; bathrooms and facade elements are prefabricated; and planning is carried out entirely using a digital building model. This simplifies planning and construction and ensures consistent quality. Four commercial units complement the residential spaces: two stores on the ground floor to serve the neighborhood’s local needs and two medical office spaces on the first floor. The building is designed to meet the KfW Efficiency House 40 standard with district heating.
MKE initiated the project and is overseeing it as the project developer. Brückner Architekten is responsible for the planning; the design is the result of an architectural competition. The building permit application has been submitted, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Digital Building Model.
Planning is carried out entirely within the digital building model. Walls, ceilings, windows, and fixtures are stored in the model as components along with their data—from the retail area on the ground floor through the residential floors up to the roof surfaces. This forms the basis for standardized details, prefabrication, and accurate quantities. The views show the model in the modeling program (as of the building permit application).
