The B&L Gruppe (lit. “B&L Group“) from Hamburg is developing three major projects at the Osthafen (“Eastern Harbor“) in Frankfurt, where 500 apartments, a hotel, a 60-meter (197 feet) high office tower and a day care center are to be built. On a neighboring site east of Honsellstrasse, which is still part of the city, 150 apartments are being built, of which 50 are subsidised rental apartments. The project developer also bought the Molenkopf from the city in the Osthafen to build a hotel tower up to 60 meters (197 feet) high. A total of five high-rise buildings with at least 10 floors each are due to be created in the Harbour Park Quarter (Hafenpark Quartier) project.

Construction work on the hotel and residential buildings (green / yellow) is currently underway and is expected to be completed by 2021/2022.
