Hochhaus Blittersdorffplatz

Facts

• Investors have approached the city who owns the neglected square called Blittersdorfplatz with a proposal to build a skyscraper.
• The initial proposal calls for a tower with a height of atleast 80m (262ft) providing office space in the lower two-thirds of the building and apartments in the upper third.
• The project, which is not part of the current skyscraper masterplan, currently faces strong opposition from some parties in the local government.
• Das Hochhaus, das im gültigen Hochhausrahmenplan nicht vorgesehen ist, stößt zur Zeit auf starke Ablehnung von großen Teilen der Stadtregierung. Man möchte den Blittersdorfplatz als eine Grünfläche erhalten.
• The proposed tower would be located opposite the 142m (467ft) tall Frankfurter Büro Center.
