This is reminiscient of Central Park. I think the Taunusanlage park could benefit greatly from the Kaiserkarree. Maybe some beergardens?

As far as the building's prospect for construction goes, current projects like Parktower and OpernTurm will pretty much be filled up once they are completed. Thus, the rate of return for the "KaiKa" can be expected to fulfill the investors' expectations.

and what about the metzler'sches bankhaus at the northeast corner?

but this will be the first intersection with skyscrapers on 3 of the 4 corners

Blends in well with the existing buildings.

CYstillFI · September 12th, 2007, 02:01 PM

I am pretty sure, that Metzler will build his scryscraper in near future.

goschio · September 12th, 2007, 02:02 PM

Yes, Metzler is required as well. But I am not too optimistic about that.

FFM2007 · September 12th, 2007, 03:43 PM

@CYstillFI
that woult be great

but what makes you sure about that? any insider infos or a newspaper article?

CYstillFI · September 14th, 2007, 12:58 PM

Nothing of both... this time it is just intuition.

DAMN I m good · September 15th, 2007, 12:47 PM

a bit to boxy for me ... and I dont like that grey colour

erbse · September 22nd, 2007, 11:53 PM

So what's going on? Any news on this highrise? I've heard there would be somethin to expect this month.

BMXican · September 22nd, 2007, 11:58 PM

wait for expo real

Michelino · October 20th, 2007, 05:44 PM

Expo Real has passed now. Where are the news???

alejoaoa · October 20th, 2007, 06:58 PM

Simple and nice!

sdf11 · October 21st, 2007, 12:35 AM

OOooOO another torre for Frankfurt...we want someone here in barcelona...

Also, the design is very bad and old...too much simply, maybe in the '70s...but not at 2010...

R@ptor · October 21st, 2007, 03:37 AM

I agree that the design is nothing to get enthusiastic about, but every skyline also needs 'skyline filler' buildings and this is one of them. Right now, Frankfurt's skyline still has a lot of 'holes' from several directions. Buildings like that help to close them.

aparently the building is being vacated now.

OMH · October 24th, 2007, 12:06 AM

design looks quit ok IMO..but could be a bit higher (160m),but nevertheless a great building for this great skyline!

Hed_Kandi · October 24th, 2007, 03:36 AM

This tower is horrendous. It looks like something out of the 70's

nonsense..only because it isn't kitschy it doesn't mean its bad,i think it will fit greatly into the Frankfurt skyline!

fettekatz · October 24th, 2007, 11:36 AM

it's well enough for Frankfurt/Main anyway

a good gap-filler maybe, nothing outstanding *yawns*
Why there aren't any more courageous designs for FFM?

Kame · October 26th, 2007, 02:04 AM

Perfect skyline-filler, good for Frankfurt!
