I wonder what the twist stands for. It's like the ECB is struggling to do something unnatural... which I hope it is not.

Were you talking about this Frankfurt World Cup light show, safta? If so, say thanks to Nexus.

When is Frankfurt HochVier planned to be completed ?

Also, is that the ECB's HQs final design ?

If I got it right, that's the one I (re)posted above. Frankfurter posted plenty of renderings in the previous page.

tergeste · #**105** Posted **Aug 4, 2006, 7:12 PM**

Yes, I meant that one. I was wondering if it was final because I think I recall seeing different renderings several months ago.

The ECB design is still in the "optimization phase". See: http://www.ecb.int/ecb/premises/html/index.en.html

new project:

Opernturm
170m
construction starts Novmeber 2006

Airrail center
construction starts novemebr 2006
600 meters in length and 65 meters in width
Hotel, offices, medical centre and shopping near Frankfurt airport. Just above the highspeed rail station.

GNU · #**108** Posted **Sep 20, 2006, 2:21 PM**

the Opernturm looks great.
It looks though like the upper part is wider than the base in that rendering.
Whats the deal with that?

Fabb · #**109** Posted **Sep 20, 2006, 4:05 PM**

The Airrail center is very futuristic. I like it !

NorthPole · #**110** Posted **Sep 20, 2006, 4:54 PM**

Airrail is just perfect

I love evergreen glass-rooffed patios/promenades. They are great especially during North-European cold dark winter days.
Why such location (over train station)? It's more difficult to construct building there I guess, but proximity of rail station and airport would be a big plus for businessmen (I hope appartments will have sound-proof walls

).

Opernturm looks like being drawn with wrong perspective, a little funny. May look interesting from some distance

It is about 2 years I went to Frankfurt but as I can remember there ia a part of the AirRail Centre built actually known as FFM Flughafen trainstation or am I mistaken ?

Joka · #**114** Posted **Oct 7, 2006, 6:38 PM**

I thought the ECB already had a headquarter building? Is this new one just extra office space, or the "main" headquarter of the headquarters, or something else?

Good to see some progress in Frankfurt, I wish many skyscrapers upon Frankfurt.

Yes, the train station is already there, the AirRail Center will be built directly above it.

Grumpy · #**116** Posted **Oct 10, 2006, 6:47 PM**

I see 2 different renderings of the Opernturm...and also one has 2 spires and the other one one ?

How is "Max" and the "Marieninsel" ? What is their status ?

And what about the "UEC-projekt" , a rendering of the project:

Grumpy · #**117** Posted **Oct 10, 2006, 7:26 PM**

Airrail centre today:

Is this building U/C ?

James Bond Agent 007 · #**118** Posted **Oct 12, 2006, 5:29 AM**

Nice projects, keep us updated!

Pollock · #**119** Posted **Oct 12, 2006, 9:27 AM**

@Grumpy

The Opernturm without spires will be build (last rendering). [unfortunately]

Max is probably dead. No news for years now.

UEC is dead as well. We might see a new project at this location. The land is just too valuable. Most probably a smaller shopping center with some more entertainment, office and residential. The city council didnt like the old concept which had too much retail space.

The KIA Europe HQ is UC right now. It almost topped out.

And thanks for the pics of the airrail center. By the way, the little glass dome will be included in the airrailcenter.

Marieninsel (250m) is still on track. Construction should start in 2010. Desctruction of the old bulding in 2008-2009(?).

Grumpy · #**120** Posted **Oct 17, 2006, 9:04 AM**

I hope "Marieninsel" is getting built it surely is a slender building.
What is the situation with the Metzler Bank ? I guess these two are on the same location , wright ?

Who has some decent pictures of the "Main Triangle" ?
