they still search tenants for the tower. so until the construction can start it can take years.

August 20th, 2008, 06:03 PM
why bringing this up again? if there is news, I'm sure it will be posted here immediately. the developer is currently concentrating on several other projects right next door, including an 185m office tower (prep started) and a congress/shopping center with hotel skyscraper (starting this year, if all goes as planned).
unless a tenant doesn't show up, nothing will happen. this tower will hold over 200,000 sq m of space - you need a big ass company to fill atleast 40-50% of that ...

It's just a very optimistic view!
In Frankfurt we have a vacancy rate of almost 2.000.000 m2 / 21.528.000 sqfeet (16,7 %). Sorry for asking, but who wants to build even more buildings?

Maybe he got the same pre-written e-mail from Vivico asking about that tower. They wrote that construction would only begin AFTER the construction of the Skyline Plaza. One because of the high numer of offices provided by Tower 1 and other is due to lack of space in the area for the huge amount of traffic during construction.
But my interpretations reads as following: The tower is supposedly dead because after the construction of Skyline Plaza we have enough office space. If other rise their projects at the same time (maybe Marieninsel etc.), there will be no more potential for the Mt unless this is the last highrise lot in the whole city! :lol:

I think this won't be notable if 204 or 211m - from street level this is about the same!
Actually T365 was shortened from 389m to 350m and now 365m. I hope that this height will be increased a little more also (and if it was only such a non-counted nose as the one of T185)... :D

If they find a tenant they could start tomorrow.

But to be honest I don't mind if they build a 100-150m tower at the location. Don't think it would be so nice to have 300m+ at this location. More important are high rises in the banking district and a dense urban development in the city IMO.

But don't forget that T365 could be built there without looking too enormous, since it would be surrounded by T185, Messeturm, maybe HH am Güterplatz, and maybe Tower One with 195 to 212m... Thus it wouldn't look too over-dimensioned!

It's also a lot to do with attitude. Outside of Frankfurt, highrises are extremely unpopular for most of the population. And Frankfurt has a terribly "small town" attitude. A city the size of Frankfurt (with or without it's larger urban or metropolitan area) outside of Europe would have a much larger presence of skyscrapers and probably with some taller buildings as well.

That small town attitude is slowly changing though. No help to the current Mayor who even describes Frankfurt as a "Village" !!! But maybe in the next decade or so enough people here will start to treat Frankfurt as the large city it really is.

Sorry, but int'l comparison Frankfurt IS a village! It has only 660k inhabitants. I don't know too many cities packed with skyscrapers and supertalls which are 660k level. Look around in all of Europe: Apart from London and Paris there is nothing similar although there are many many much bigger cities: Milan, Rome, Madrid, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Bucharest, Budapest, Naples,.... they are all at least twice as big as Frankfurt and look at their skyscraper levels!
Why packing a city with skyscrapers that are not needed? Construction of skyscrapers has nothing to with popularity - since they aren't the much hated residential highrises but commercials. If there is demand then there is construction and fullstop. Until now there is no need for T365, if there is, it gets built.
And don't forget the prices for skyscraper construction in FFM! The new ECB should cost 1.4 billion Euros!!!! :ohno:

Would you consider San Francisco, Washington D.C., Amsterdam and Sydney to be villages as well? I guess not...



As for the "small town" attitude, sadly that's a problem in all of Germany and by no means restricted to Frankfurt. In fact, I would argue that Frankfurt is less affected by this than most places in this country (albeit still far too much for my liking). Thinking small has been deeply ingrained in the national psyche since after WWII.

That being said, this particular tower has already been approved and its construction is only a matter of finding a main tenant, not political will.

Sorry, but int'l comparison Frankfurt IS a village! It has only 660k inhabitants. I don't know too many cities packed with skyscrapers and supertalls which are 660k level.

compare Frankfurt to:
Auckland: 438,000
Sydney: 177,000
Melbourne: 71,000
Boston: 609,000
San Francisco: 808,000
Miami: 362,000
Gold Coast (au): 527,000
etc...

I could go on. But I think you get the point. A city is far more than just the political boundary. Auckland is a classic example right now as the cities surrounding it will soon amalgamate into one political area. This will increase the population of Auckland from 438,000 to 1.2million over night. But will Auckland suddenly feel three times larger? Absolutely not. Frankfurt has 670,000 in the city proper, 2.2million in the urban area and around 5million in the metropolitan area. This is not a village.

And before you write that this urban area or metropolitan area is not valid, or that is is so much different in other parts of the world, I have lived in other parts of the world. I've spent most of my life in Sydney which has only 177,000 in the city proper, 3million in the urban area and 4.2million in the metropolitan area (which is about the same size as the Rhein Main) and I can tell you that they operate exactly the same way. There are city's in the metropolitan area which are both as linked and isolated from downtown Sydney as any in the Rhein Main.


Look around in all of Europe: Apart from London and Paris there is nothing similar although there are many many much bigger cities: Milan, Rome, Madrid, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Bucharest, Budapest, Naples,.... they are all at least twice as big as Frankfurt and look at their skyscraper levels!


See my post where I wrote "outside of Europe". Europe itself has a distaste for skyscrapers and highrises. Frankfurt is actually one of the few exceptions where the general population of this city actually are quite proud of their skyscrapers.


Why packing a city with skyscrapers that are not needed? Construction of skyscrapers has nothing to with popularity - since they aren't the much hated residential highrises but commercials. If there is demand then there is construction and fullstop. Until now there is no need for T365, if there is, it gets built.

Actually, it also has a lot to do with politics and the developers in Frankfurt. I am friends with one of the leading architects who designed a number of the skyscrapers in Frankfurt and with his own firm. One major problem here is that developers are afraid of mixed developments. There would be a lot more skyscrapers in Frankfurt if these developers mixed apartments with offices like is the trend in other parts of the world. But they are still old school here and refuse to do this. The government doesn't help as it is not encouraging inner city apartment living which is also the trend in other cities around the world right now. Take Auckland for example where in the last five years 20,000 people have moved into new highrise downtown apartments.


And don't forget the prices for skyscraper construction in FFM! The new ECB should cost 1.4 billion Euros!!!! :ohno:
This is certainly expensive, but it is far more than a standard skyscraper, as it includes the massive heritage market hall, incredible security (being the central European Bank) and the large land area around it.

How a city grows depends a lot on the cities politics, the businesses that exist there and the public's attitudes. Frankfurt is a large city and an important one on a global scale. It's attitude though is not one of a large city. You can't even find a food outlet here open 24hours. I know small towns in backwater parts of New Zealand where you can eat 24hours a day. This city has a lot of potential. What is holding it back is people saying "We can't do that here, we're too small"

compare Frankfurt to:

Uhh, no.

Sydney, Australia has a population of 177,000. This is the city proper population, you know, the area which actually has a "Mayor". The political boundary, the "actual" city of Sydney. The rest (4.34million) is what is known as the "Metropolitan Area" and contains many other cities and covers more than 12,000km². It is officially called the "Sydney Statistical Area". It's area includes vast parts of the Blue Mountains, right across to the other side and the Central Coast.

Frankfurt also has a metropolitan area which is called the Rhein Main which covers about the same area and has over 5million people.

The political boundary of Frankfurt under a single mayor is the city of Frankfurt which has 670,000people.

The political boundary of Sydney under a single mayor is the city of Sydney which has 177,000people.

The City of Sydney you're referring to is just one of the many local councils within Sydney and only covers the CBD and immediate surrounds. It has a ceremonial mayor, like most of the other district councils. You may as well claim that London comprises the City and nothng else.
Sydney has a population of about 4.4 million. If you choose to believe otherwise, that's your perogative.

Mate, I'm also Australian and from Sydney, so I also know what I am talking about regarding.

So, may I ask who exactly is the mayor of the city of 4.4million you describe? There is no single Mayor. That 4.4million area is a regional demographic called the Sydney Statistical Division. The Mayor of "Sydney" has no official powers over any of the other cities or municipalities within the Sydney Statistical Division, just as the Mayor of Frankfurt has no official control over any of the other cities within the Rhein Main.

It covers over 12,000km² and as you can see from this map it goes all the way to the other side of the Blue Mountains, North to Lake Macquarie and South to Bargo.
http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/tdc/statistics/Sydney-SD.pdf

Just a reference for those not familiar to Sydney. Mt Victoria, on the Western edge is a 2hour and 25minute train journey from Sydney Central Station.

What you are saying Zollern, if I understand you correctly. Is that it is fully acceptable to consider Mt Victoria on the otherside of the Blue Mountains, 2hours and 25minutes away from Sydney Central Station and separated by a vast National Park, Bush and Forest, which doesn't come under the same Mayor as Sydney nor is it in any way related to the Sydney Urban area as "Sydney"... but it is not for instance acceptable to consider Offenbach, a 20minute ride by BICYCLE from central Frankfurt, fully within the Urban Area and directly connected to be considered part of Frankfurt's metropolitan area?

There are different ways to calculate a cities population. One is the city proper, and this is based on a political boundary. Another is the Urban area which is generally the population until you reach the countryside. It does get more complicated than this, but that is the basic rule. Thirdly, there is a metropolitan area figure which is what the Sydney 4.4million is. This is usually a statistical area and in most cases is based on commuter percentages.

Frankfurt also has a metropolitan area that works in very much the same way as Sydney's. It is called the Rhein Main and also includes, just as Sydney's does many other councils.

By the way, as for your reference to London, don't even go there. London had an amalgamation of boroughs which brought a large chunk of the direct urban area into a single government body which is now known as "Greater London". This is a political boundary with a Mayor and in the global sense, the "City Proper". It is NOT however, the full extent of the urban area or metropolitan area and not to be confused with the generic term "Greater" when used with other cities around the world.

The fact remains that the direct equivilent of Frankfurt's city proper is the City of Sydney which has 177,000 people.

If you want to use the 4.4million figure, which by the way is totally fine with me as it is a very valid region, then you have to compare it with the equivilent region in Frankfurt.

Here is the metropolitan region info if you need it:

No one

it has been approved by the city in 2001. there was even an official symbolic foundation stone laying ceremony with the developer and the mayor back then (you just need to google).

there was a very detailed model of the tower (maybe someone can post a photo of it) presented by the developer and renderings (of one possible design), you can check the thread for them.

after years of rumours (one of them being that trump was gonna take over the project) there was a standstill in this project, until recently, when the developer decided to market the tower on a real estate fair in dubai.

however the tower was never more than just an option that was supposed to be developed after all other vivico projects are built. some of them are already under way (tower 185, or the european quarter buildings, some of them are about to start (the grand hyatt tower or the skyline plaza), and some have been put on hold (T 1 tower). only when all this is built, T 365 has a chance.

so, there is no need to doubt the approval of the project. it doesn't mean it will get built anytime soon though ...


edit: it was approved in may 2001, I just checked again ...

Wie Sie vermutlich wissen realisieren wir derzeit den Tower 185, der Ende diesen Jahres fertig gestellt sein wird. Neben dem Tower 365 haben wir zudem noch das Baurecht für den sog.

It's an ages old proposal and completely dead I think.
But the location isn't all that dead I guess, so we might see something rising there in a not too distant future. Marieninsel (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=129067&highlight=marieninsel) would be another location that is more likely though.

I'm not in favour of this being at the trade fair, never liked the location of MT. It would make Frankfurt's skyline rather imbalanced.
If the city gets a new tallest, it should be right in the financial cluster, somewhere next to the Commerzbank, favourably to the right of it. As a real skyline peak.
