NM 74/ 80, Frankfurt: Application for building permit

The two office and retail buildings located in Neue Mainzer Strasse 74 and 80 are landmarks of the entrance to Neue Rothofstrasse, which runs parallel to Frankfurt's top shopping location Goethestrasse. The design by Eike Becker_Architekten won against competitors such as UN Studio, KSP and Hadi Teherani. We have drafted two seven-storey buildings with a large glass share. The architecture concept is based on stacked frames that protrude slightly into the public space, similar to oriels. By the end of 2015 the buildings will be completed. The gross area is about 18,000 m², with room for eight to twelve shops on the first two floors and office space on the higher levels. The projects developers Groß & Partner from Frankfurt and the Swiss Peakside Capital private equity firm are jointly developing the object.
