Demolition, New Construction, Green Facades: Frankfurt's New Neighborhoods - Frankfurt’s skyline transforms as Four Seasons towers near completion
Frankfurt’s skyline is changing rapidly with major developments nearing completion and new projects on the horizon. The 'Four Seasons' high-rise quarter near Hauptwache is almost finished, while plans for the Kaiserlei and Allerheiligenviertel districts promise hundreds of new homes, offices, and public spaces. Some buildings are already open, while others face delays before demolition can begin.
The 'Four Seasons' high-rise quarter now stands nearly complete, with four towers reaching between 100 and 233 metres. The plaza and walkways between them are finished, though most commercial units remain empty. Towers 1 and 4 mostly hold offices, including law firm Freshfields, while Towers 2 and 3 include apartments. The most expensive flat—a 135-square-metre, four-room unit—is listed for €3.2 million.
A bridge linking two towers will soon house a fitness studio. Tower 3’s Kimpton am Main hotel has already opened, offering three public venues. Tower 1 will feature a two-storey market hall, and Tower 2’s supermarket is already trading.
Elsewhere, Frankfurt’s Kaiserlei Roundabout is set for transformation. The site’s three abandoned concrete skeletons, once part of Siemens subsidiary KWU, will be demolished in spring 2026. Preparatory work was due to start in 2023, but planning delays have pushed back the schedule. The city’s housing company, ABG, now owns the land and plans the Kaiserlei Quarter—a mixed-use area with nearly 1,200 rental flats, including subsidised and student housing, plus offices, a nursery, and parking. The €500 million project should finish by 2029.
Nearby, the Allerheiligenviertel district will also see change. The Main Yard complex, blending apartments, shops, dining, and a hotel, is expected to complete in late 2026.
The 'Four Seasons' quarter is nearly ready, with hotels, shops, and offices already operating. Meanwhile, the Kaiserlei and Allerheiligenviertel projects will add thousands of homes and new amenities over the next few years. Demolition of the old Siemens structures remains delayed, but once complete, the area will see one of Frankfurt’s largest mixed-use developments.
