Main Tower office tower, Frankfurt a. M. (Germany)
Architect: Schweger & Partner, Hamburg
Height: 240m
Usable floor space: 62,000m²
With a height of 200 meters, it is “only” the fourth tallest, but probably the most hospitable skyscraper in “Mainhattan”. In contrast to almost all other office towers in the Main metropolis, public interest is expressly desired here. If you want to see this for yourself, you can not only open the doors to the foyer, you can even climb to the roof of the tower – right up to the viewing terrace on the 56th floor.
The Main Tower has five basement floors and 56 upper floors as well as two publicly accessible viewing platforms. There is also a public restaurant with a cocktail lounge and café on the 53rd floor at a height of 187 meters.
The listed façade of the Landesbank’s predecessor building was integrated into the plinth level, albeit not in a historicizing manner, but as a visible contrast between past and present.
