MRG Münchner Raumentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH

MRG Münchner Raumentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH is a municipal urban development and project management company owned by the City of Munich (Landeshauptstadt München). It operates as a 'kommunaler Maßnahmeträger' — a municipal implementation body — and service provider for the city, tasked with conceiving new construction projects within the framework of sustainable location development and acting as an interface between municipal committees, private investors and construction companies. The company also conducts tendering and award procedures and takes responsibility for project management. The MRG began in 1994 with the development of a new city district on the grounds of the former Munich-Riem Airport. That project, Messestadt Riem, is described by the company as one of the largest urban development areas in Europe and is now approaching completion. Beyond Messestadt Riem, the MRG coordinates the creation of new housing, childcare facilities, a new school campus in the west of the Messestadt with a Realschule and Gymnasium plus associated outdoor sports areas, and a branch of the Munich Volkshochschule. It also oversees large projects such as the comprehensive renovation plan for the clinic group of Städtisches Klinikum München GmbH, and the general renovation of the Gasteig, Munich's large cultural and education centre. Originally incorporated as MRG Maßnahmeträger München-Riem GmbH, the company was renamed MRG Münchner Raumentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH following a Munich City Council resolution of 23 October 2019, with the change entered in the commercial register on 28 January 2020. The new name reflects expanded responsibilities the company has carried out since 2015. The MRG presents itself as building 'a Munich for all' — sustainably and close to citizens — with the goal of raising the quality of life of residents.

MRG Münchner Raumentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH traces its origins to 1994, when it began developing a new city district on the site of the former Munich-Riem Airport. Operating as MRG Maßnahmeträger München-Riem GmbH, the company's initial mission was to act as the municipal implementation body for the Messestadt Riem project — an urban development area the company describes as one of the largest in Europe. Over the following decades the MRG's remit expanded beyond the original Riem project. Since 2015 the company has taken on additional responsibilities, which eventually prompted a change of name. In May 2017 construction began on the new Kinderklinikum Schwabing (children's hospital), with the MRG taking on overarching project management, project leadership and controlling tasks. In early summer 2017 the architectural competition for a new education campus was decided: the MRG was to deliver a Gymnasium and a Realschule with a sports campus for around EUR 200 million by 2022, described as a further milestone for the Messestadt. The company also devoted itself to project development of land becoming available. By a resolution of the Munich City Council dated 23 October 2019, the company's name was adapted to reflect its expanded tasks. The renaming from MRG Maßnahmeträger München-Riem GmbH to MRG Münchner Raumentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH was completed with entry in the commercial register on 28 January 2020. In its current form the MRG continues to work on the completion of Messestadt Riem while coordinating new housing, childcare facilities, the western school campus with Realschule and Gymnasium and associated outdoor sports areas, and a branch of the Munich Volkshochschule. It also oversees major projects such as the comprehensive renovation plan for the clinic group of Städtisches Klinikum München GmbH and the general renovation of the Gasteig, Munich's large culture and education centre. The company also reports the completion of the conversion and new construction of Michael-Ende-Straße and Elisabeth-Castonier-Platz.
