FRANKFURT | TaunusTurm | 170m | 40 fl | 68m | 19 fl | T/O - Page 3

According to some insider informations (topf secret!), they're going to start with the demolition workings of the old highrise on the construction site of Kaiserkarree at November 26th. In Frankfurt this actually means: There already have to be a building contract with the investor, so it may be about to start rising in 2008!

We'll see

zimba · November 14th, 2007, 11:13 PM

uhhhh!! amazing news!! can't wait to see that building risin'

goschio · November 15th, 2007, 05:29 AM

Great news indeed. Can't wait to see it rising. This will provide long needed density for Frankfurt's skyline.

revilo17 · November 15th, 2007, 09:49 AM

very nice cant wait to see the demolition :-D ill go there and make some pictures at the end of november.....

cSc · December 20th, 2007, 02:32 PM

Now it is official, construction start spring 2008. Developer as already assumed Tishman-Speyer and Commerz-Real. Here the press release from today.

revilo17 · December 20th, 2007, 02:38 PM

na dann prost auf das neue hochhaus

BMXican · December 20th, 2007, 02:40 PM

great. it's not particularly tall, but so massive - it will change the banking district entirely and fill a very important gap (anyone care to make a simulation?)

I hope the redesign will bring some positive changes to the base though

goschio · December 20th, 2007, 04:22 PM

Great news. Can't wait to see the new renderings.

carst0rnHH · December 20th, 2007, 04:57 PM

BMXican · December 21st, 2007, 02:26 AM

its a possibilty after we heard that the tower is being marketed, but I think the next towers on the agenda will be the sparkassen tower, the tower for pricewaterhouse coopers and the matheus church tower

TICONLA1 · December 21st, 2007, 02:40 AM

I like it........, it's not Just a "box", the setbacks and notches are IMO at the appropriate locations, and the mass works well with the surrounding buildings, plus it's to be clad in "natural stone" which will look alot better than the renderings can show...

The reason that i like it most is, as i said, it fits in very well with the surrounding towers,

Golden Age · December 21st, 2007, 11:41 AM

Kaiserkarree will be a gem. Not only does it fill the skyline but it will offer much needed downtown living space, a panorama restaurant and no scarcity of shops in the base of the building. This is HUGE!

With Park Tower completed, FrankfurtHochVier and Opernturm on the way and UEC tower, Matthaustower, PWC tower (all three with high likelihood), ECB tower and Degussa tower in the making Frankfurt's future is looking strong to say the least.

BMXican · December 21st, 2007, 03:15 PM

and its about time. frankfurt had a few slow years, many projects were delayed.

I am just waiting for more announcement ..

Jim856796 · December 22nd, 2007, 09:19 AM

The building that the Kaiserkarree will replace is Rheinische Hypothekenbank, a 10-story lowrise. It should be under demolition by now. I don't know when that building was first constructed.

CYstillFI · December 23rd, 2007, 04:03 PM

No idea either, maybe in the sixties. Demolition has not yet started but the move out should be done. Demolition probably starts in January.

BMXican: I am just waiting for more announcement ..

That's exactly what I do. The lower candidates are more or less clear. Now I am waiting for something bigger than 130 to 185 meters. There is still enough demand for two or more of those left...

BMXican · December 23rd, 2007, 11:16 PM

I say its either the neue mainzer tower or tower1 of the uec.

im glad the ugly 60s buildings on the kaiserkarree site are going to disappear soon.
