The Riem Arcaden is the largest shopping mall in Munich. It was built in the Messestadt Riem district at Willy-Brandt-Platz and designed by the Allmann Sattler Wappner firm and opened on 10 March 2004.
The 122,500 m² building complex of the Riem Arcaden city quarter offers space for over 140 shops, cafés and restaurants on three floors and around 61,100 m² of retail space.
In addition to various fashion brands - such as Marc O'Polo or Tommy Hilfiger (company)- technical novelties, sports equipment, accessories, toys and home décor, doctors, a pharmacy, hairdressers, beauty salons as well as a dry cleaner and alteration tailor are also available for the approximately 9 million visitors each year.
On the upper floor there are several cafés surrounded by shops such as Hugendubel, Müller and Zara.
Food court
[edit]In the middle of the ground floor, a food court, includes restaurant chains such as Nordsee and McDonald's and other restaurants. The food on offer ranges from Indian and Vietnamese to Italian and Bavarian dishes.
Local supply
[edit]Initially, no other shops or supermarkets were planned for the new Messestadt Riem district created in 1999. For this reason, in addition to its regional importance as a major shopping centre, the Riem Arcaden also played the role of a daily local supplier for an entire district for some time. The lower floor therefore houses many smaller shops as well as shops for daily needs such as Edeka (with a postal agency) and Aldi.
Social responsibility
[edit]Numerous events in and around the shopping centre serve as a meeting place for visitors and residents alike. Together with local schools, kindergartens and social initiatives, the Riem Arcaden are involved in various charitable projects.
Riem Arcaden City Quarter
[edit]Around 26,000 people visit each day. The centre's car park has 2,700 parking spaces and a valeting service. Electric car charging stations are provided. In addition to the mall, the Riem Arcaden city quarter offers 30,000 m² of office space, 62 flats and a Novotel hotel with around 278 rooms and a Motel One hotel which has 310 rooms.
