The Park Tower (formerly known as SGZ-Hochhaus ) is a high-rise in the west end of Frankfurt am Main . It was established in 1972 as the administrative headquarters of the Südwestdeutsche Genossenschafts-Zentralbank (merged in two stages in 2000 and 2001 into today's DZ-Bank ). The then 96 meter high building with a black and silver facade was for a short time the tallest skyscraper in Frankfurt. It is located on Reuterweg near Opernplatz and borders Rothschildpark to the north and east .

Between July 2005 and autumn 2007 the building was completely gutted and completely rebuilt. Since then, the 115 meter high building has offered around 24,000 square meters of gross floor area.

The building, which stands at a slight incline to the Alte Oper , was raised by three floors according to plans by the architects Albert Speer & Partner and supplemented with a second structure that wraps around the shaft of the tower like a stone clasp. The new building is clad with light natural stone, the old building is completely glazed. The main tenant of the building is the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer , which has rented almost the entire building.

The property is owned by a Deutsche Bank real estate fund .
