Construction is set to begin this summer after Implenia completed excavation work ahead of schedule. The company expects to finish the project by October 2029.

The new headquarters will accommodate more than 1,400 employees and consolidate nearly all of Münster’s police departments at a single site.

It is designed to create additional space, reduce travel distances between teams and support new workplace concepts.

The development in North Rhine-Westphalia will consist of a three-to-six-storey functional and administrative building. It will include a canteen, a detention facility, laboratories, office space, a police station, training and education areas, and an underground car park.

CM Immobilien Entwicklung in Münster signed the lease agreement with the police force on behalf of the project company.

Implenia’s role includes building information modelling planning for the building, lean management from the tender phase and measures aimed at achieving LEED Gold certification.

The project also includes security requirements, electrotechnical systems with partial multi-redundancy, and specific solutions for the detention area, prisoner collection point, control centre, sports hall and forensic laboratories.

Implenia Buildings Germany division head Matthias Jacob said: “We thank our clients for their trust in Implenia and look forward to bringing our many years of experience and extensive expertise in building construction to this challenging real estate project and successfully delivering it together.

“Our work is increasingly focused on large, complex projects and, in particular, partnership-based contract models that allow us to optimally leverage our capabilities for the benefit of our clients and Implenia.”

Implenia said the contract fits its strategy of focusing on large, complex and specialised real estate projects.

In January this year, the company won contracts in Germany and Norway worth about €350m to build three bridges and a tunnel.

The work covers the new Peene bridge in Wolgast, a replacement bridge over the Main in Marktbreit, the Lågen bridge on Norway’s E6 motorway and the first phase of an inner-city motorway tunnel in Frankfurt am Main.
