Taunusanlage under construction (July 2015)

location

The Taunusanlage 8 property is located at the Frankfurter Wallanlagen , a ring-shaped green area around the city ​​center , and is part of the Frankfurt banking district . It was one of the first properties to be rebuilt after the destruction in World War II . By 2013, four buildings formed the entire Taunusanlage 8 complex, including a substation for the regional energy supplier Mainova . While the other buildings were demolished, the substation was retained and the new high-rise building was partially built over it.

Planning history

In 2008, the last tenant, Aareal Bank , moved out of the old building complex. In July 2010, the property owner, Credit Suisse Asset Management Immobilien, a subsidiary of Credit Suisse , presented plans for a 60-meter high-rise building. In an architecture competition, the designs of the architecture firm Novotny Mähner Assoziierte and Schneider + Schumacher were awarded second prizes on an equal footing; In August 2010, the revised design by Novotny Mähner Associate was selected and further developed by the architectural office msm meyer schmitz-morkramer. 29,163 m² of gross floor area was created on 17 floors, the total height is 68 meters. Initially, Credit Suisse had considered building a 150-meter-high building, but was unable to win through with Edwin Schwarz (CDU), Frankfurt’s planning department. He justified his decision with the fact that a significantly higher tower would have exceeded the urban scale of the Taunusanlage. Nonetheless, the construction of a building up to 210 meters high ( Marienturm project ) was permitted on the directly adjacent properties at Taunuslanlage 9 and 10 . The building permit was granted in October 2012.

Building history

After the existing buildings were demolished in autumn 2013, the high-rise was built for the open-ended real estate fund CS Euroreal by October 2016 . In August 2016, the anchor tenant, the law firm Linklaters , moved into 10,800 m² of the office space. In June 2017 the office tower was sold to the South Korean Mirae Asset Global Investments Co.
