The Highlight Towers in Munich are twin office towers by Murphy/Jahn of Chicago, which the page links to Helmut Jahn. The article calls the style Modernism and gives completion as 2004, though the infobox says 2002 to 2004. Stahl + verbundbau was structural engineer and Strabag Bau was main contractor. No owner or start date is given.
Tower I rises 413 feet (126 m) with 33 floors, and Tower II rises 371 feet (113 m) with 28. Two glass and steel skyways join them, and two low buildings between them hold a hotel and more offices. The complex has about 794,760 square feet (73,836 m²) of office space. Tenants include Unify, Fujitsu Technology Solutions and IBM.
The towers stand slightly off the sightline from Odeonsplatz toward the Victory Gate. Critics called them imported imitation architecture, and they helped spur a citizens' initiative against similar towers. The article gives no hours.
