On the Oberanger 45 property, situated in close proximity to Sendlinger Tor, a building from the 1970s once stood. Due to its poor structural condition, it was demolished to make way for new development. The current new building—a six-story residential and commercial structure—fills the 12-meter-wide, parallelogram-shaped gap in the block perimeter development along Oberanger. A significant portion of the surrounding buildings date from the postwar reconstruction of the city, which was completely devastated after 1945, and they are characterized by considerable heterogeneity. The existing facades vary considerably through the use of different materials such as plaster, brick, ceramic, and natural stone.

The architects of the new building are Neufeldt.Voigt Architekten from Munich, who pursue a holistic approach throughout all project phases. High-quality, carefully coordinated materials are consistently employed. Through a creative dialogue with the client, their needs and wishes are considered as precisely as possible. The new building is a mixed-use structure featuring a commercial unit on the ground floor, four office floors, and a maisonette apartment on the 5th and 6th floors complete with a spacious roof terrace and panoramic windows offering views of the historic old town. With its restrained architectural language, the building fits discreetly into its surroundings. Nevertheless, the noble natural stone facade composed of horizontal and vertical, large-format light Jurassic limestone panels and the bronze-tinted window frames with broad reveals command attention, distinguishing themselves in quality from the neighboring buildings. The subtle angle of the frameless windows in the three-bay punched facade is oriented toward the nearby Sendlinger-Tor-Platz. On the rear courtyard side, each floor features extensively cantilevered balconies.
Particular care was given to the design of the entrance area: a wall clad with natural stone slats, angled at an oblique angle, guides visitors toward the recessed front door. The lamella structure continues inside as a backlit mailbox wall made of dark wood.

The interior finishes also feature premium materials such as marble and other natural stones, wide-plank oak flooring, and elaborate wall polishing techniques. The overall impression is completed by custom-fabricated kitchen and furniture installations crafted by master cabinetmakers, along with carefully coordinated furnishing and lighting concepts.
