AFE AREAL

The first major project is being carried out on the site of the former AFE site, based on designs by architecture firm Cyrus Moser. The plan is for a complex of four buildings, intended to form a new district at the intersection of Bockenheim and Westend, with hotels, restaurants, offices and apartments.

Where the university’s AFE tower once soared towards the heavens is now being transformed into a 140metrehigh hotel and residential tower. A new eyecatcher in the Frankfurt skyline, purchased by Commerz Real for its open property fund hausInvest. Another office block is right next-door.

An 8stream childcare centre is being built here as the smallest unit in the complex. It will be run independently, and have its own development scheme. The fourth buildinga second skyscraper around 100 metres highis currently still a vision. Upon completion, it is set to join with the taller tower to form an urbanistic element on the Kulturcampus – the Main metropolis’ new, lively district.
