| Hochtief to erect one of the tallest buildings in Germany Hochtief Construction has been contracted by property developer Vivico to erect one of the tallest buildings in Germany. In a project worth EUR 60 million, the company will be responsible for the shell structure of the 185-meter-tall Tower 185 in Frankfurt, to be situated between the trade fair grounds, the Central Station and the city's banking district. Tower 185 will add another spectacular icon to the Frankfurt skyline. The building will have a horseshoe-shaped base topped by two highrise sections enclosing an oval central section. Together, these form the actual tower. The complex, with a rental area of around 100,000 square meters, will provide business and conference rooms, together with retail and catering outlets. The Hochtief unit Shell and Industrial Construction will begin work on the 50-story tower in March this year and complete it in the spring of 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
