Information

Frankfurt is an urban setting that combines the classical European perimeter block with the high-rises of a modern metropolis – forming a vibrant cluster of structures in the city center. This architectural combination offers density and a dynamic skyline, echoing the Taunus Mountains that bound Frankfurt to the north.

Located at the former Metzler Bank site in downtown Frankfurt, the 65,000 square meters mixed-use tower is the latest addition to the city’s evolving skyline. Tishman Speyer, a leading international developer and fund manager headquartered in New York, selected the winning design from among a total of five proposals. Initial demolition work has already begun on the site, and the tower is estimated to be completed by 2018. Tishman Speyer is currently developing the new Deutsche Bank Campus and has so far completed the MesseTurm, OpernTurm and TaunusTurm buildings in the city’s financial district.

The tower is articulated as a slender and rational stack of inhabited floors, interrupted by two sculptural moves where the program changes. At street level, the floor plates of the building are shifted back and forth to create inhabitable terraces and canopies, facing a new square that can be used for social activities during daytime or after-work hours. Residential floors occupy the middle section of the tower where the floor plates slide out in a spiraling movement to create terraces and generous views for residents. The offices inhabiting the tower’s upper floors return to a slender rectangular volume, completing the spiral to rejoin the orientation of the floors below.
