Icoon & Grand Central Quartier in Frankfurt

As part of the Grand Central project, a new skyscraper tower called Icoon is to be built in the immediate vicinity. Up to 600 apartments are planned here, which are spread over a 140 meters (459 feet) tall residential tower and an adjoining neighboring building having a height of up to 60 meters (197 feet). An approximately 1,300 square meters (13,993 square feet) day-care center and 1,700 square meters (18,299 square feet) of commercial space for local supply and catering complete the neighborhood mix and create a new, attractive, urban location. The share of subsidized housing amounts to a total of approximately 16,500 square meters (177,604 square feet) of living space, divided in half into the funding programs 1. Förderweg and 2. Förderweg.

The office tower on Hafenstrasse, which was previously used by Commerzbank AG, is to complete the construction project. This existing 90-meter tower is to be renovated under the title “Virage” and possibly converted into a hotel or apartment house. The lease agreement with Commerzbank AG expires at the end of 2019.

The Grand Central Frankfurt project is being developed in a joint venture between Gross und Partner and PHOENIX Real Estate Development.

Status 2021: According to planning department Mike Josef, an urban development contract between the City of Frankfurt and the investors is imminent. It can be assumed that construction on the project can begin in early 2022.

Status March 2020: The city model in the planning department shows the Icoon tower in the Frankfurt urban landscape as if it had already been built.

Status June 2019: For better orientation we have marked the future construction site of the Icoon here. The flat office building in the background (under construction) is part of the Grand Central project. To the right of it is the former Commerzbank High-Rise.
