Detailed view of the various facade elements

The One Forty West (140 West) is a high-rise building under construction on the site of the former AfE tower on the Senckenberganlage 15 property in the Westend district of Frankfurt am Main . The 145 meter high tower provides for rental and condominium apartments as well as a hotel in the immediate vicinity of the Frankfurt trade fair and is part of the Frankfurt culture campus. The topping-out ceremony is to take place in autumn 2019 [obsolete] , and final completion is expected in summer 2020. [obsolete] The hotel on the lower floors is scheduled to open in summer 2020, while the apartments on the floors above should be ready for occupancy by autumn 2020.

The high-rise project is known as a hybrid tower , as it also provides apartments in addition to hotel use. Due to the high rental prices to be expected, it is viewed by critics as another “luxury residential island”.

Planning history

The 116 meter high AfE tower of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University was on the property from 1970 until the demolition on February 2, 2014 . This belonged to the Bockenheim campus of the Goethe University and until March 2013 housed the offices and seminar rooms of the social sciences, educational sciences and psychology departments. On August 23, 2011, the state of Hesse sold the Bockenheim campus to the city's own ABG Frankfurt Holding , as the Goethe University had decided to close the Bockenheim site and relocate the departments to the Westend campus and the Riedberg campus .

New development from 2016

According to the high-rise framework plan, the construction of two high-rise buildings, originally 140 and 100 meters high, is permitted on the site of the former AfE tower . In September 2015, Commerz Real acquired the property for the open-ended real estate fund hausInvest and is planning the construction of the One Forty West hotel and residential building on the Senckenberganlage. For the first 16 floors, a long-term lease for 25 years was signed with Meliá Hotels International , who want to open a four-star hotel here. Up to 300 apartments will be built from the 17th to the 40th floor. An architecture competition was concluded in January 2016, but there was no clear winner, as only three equal second prizes were awarded. The three architectural offices were then commissioned to revise their designs. In March 2016, the revised design by Cyrus Moser Architects was chosen as the winner. Construction of the hotel and residential high-rise began at the end of 2016.

The property for the second possible high-rise building with a height of 100 meters ( called the North Office Building) is still owned by ABG Frankfurt Holding.
