Planned or under construction skyscrapers in Leipzig

Due to the constant strong growth of the city of Leipzig, after many years of stagnation and dismantling, the new construction of high-rise buildings is coming back into focus. The new building on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz is to have a high-rise building at its northeast corner to Roßplatz, which according to the currently planned definition should be 55.5 m high. The site of the former Eutritzscher open-air loading station north of Leipzig Central Station is to be rebuilt on an area of ​​25 hectares. Among other things, 3,700 apartments as well as commercial and office space are to be created. In addition to two 10-storey high points on the edges, there will be a city park in the middle, which will be framed by three 16-storey high-rise buildings.

The high-rise development on the Goerdelerring, on the other hand, will be a little slow. The city of Leipzig has set itself the goal of determining the course of the opening of the Pleißemühlgraben in the area of ​​the main fire station in 2018. Only then will it be clear whether the high-rise will be built next to or above the exposed mill moat, which will have a significant impact on the planning and architecture of the building.
