Laid the foundation for Frankfurt's new Central Business Tower
Laid the foundation for Frankfurt's new Central Business Tower
At the Taunus facility in Frankfurt, a new architectural landmark is growing up. The fundamentally planned place will soon be shaped by the Central Business Tower with a height of 205 meters, which is to establish itself as the fifth highest high -rise in the city. The foundation stone was solemnly laid in early September 2024, and the next steps in the ambitious construction project have been heralded.
This symbolic act took place early Wednesday evening, three years after the start of the demolition work at the point where the imposing 52-storey tower will now be created. The Frankfurt architecture firm KSP Engel, which won the architecture competition for this project in 2001, is responsible for the designs. The high -rise is expected to be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2028 and thus expand the Skyline Frankfurts.
a cultural center of encounter
The Central Business Tower will not only offer large office space, but also space for gastronomy and cultural offers. The planning stipulates that the building includes around 66,000 square meters of office space. On the fifth floor, a publicly accessible base building with a listed facade will find space. It will be a branch of the Frankfurt Museum of World Heritage, which makes it possible to show alternating exhibitions that cannot find space in the conventional premises on the Schaumauckenkai.
The plans from the Landesbank Hessen-Thuringia (Helaba) as a builder and the city of Frankfurt not only bring new jobs, but also a rich cultural offer that is supposed to enrich the life of Frankfurt.
a vision for the future
The construction of the Central Business Tower is considered part of a comprehensive further development of the banking district. The Mayor of Frankfurt Mike Josef (SPD) emphasized when laying the foundation that the city wanted to create a "highlight" and a lively place of exchange and encounter. A former unloved place could turn into a pulsating center that redefines the city's cultural life.
In view of the reserved planning of the Helaba with regard to its own uses in the new building, completely new opportunities for traders and freelancers could be created here. Board member Christian Schmid made it clear that both the comfort in Maintower is valued and the endeavor to open the new space for others. Rental contracts have not yet been signed, but interest in the office space has been awakened.The Central Business Tower is not only an architectural innovation, but also an important part of the planned cultural mile, which extends from the Jewish Museum to the Willy-Brandt-Platz, where a new opera extends to the old opera. The new playhouse, which is planned in the area of the Sparkassen area, also plays an important role in this cultural vision. These developments testify to a dynamic and future -oriented approach to urbanization and revitalize the entire region.
The Central Business Tower in Frankfurt symbolizes an exciting future in which office space, gastronomy and culture are impressively interwoven with each other, and are oriented towards the visitors and residents of the city. The progress in urban development develops into a perspective that many expect with anticipation and curiosity.
