Skyper is a 154 m (505 ft) tall skyscraper in the Bahnhofsviertel district of Frankfurt, Germany. It replaced the Phillip-Holzmann-AG building and cost €480 million. The tower was constructed from 2002 to 2004.

Skyper is located in the banking district of Frankfurt, at Taunusanlage 1. It has 290 underground parking spaces.

Skyper is actually a complex of three buildings: a mixed-use residential and commercial building, an office tower, and the Historic Villa, a preserved historic monument.

The counting tower is 39 floors connected by a glass nine-meter-high hall with a neoclassical villa built in 1915. The villa was like the whole area of the construction group Philipp Holzmann and was the seat of the headquarters with the Board. In addition, a 6-floor residential and one commercial building with 52 one-bedroom apartments up to the three-building ensemble.

The design for the 480 million euro project was developed by the Frankfurt architects JSK.

The skyscraper was built for an open real estate funds of Deka Immobilien. Once because of the difficult situation on the Frankfurt real estate market initially, only the top three floors were leased to a law firm, was the DekaBank own main tenant on the lower floors and pulled together several offices in this central location. Other tenants, especially law firms, are now recovered.
