'''Skyper''' is a 154 [[Metre|m]] (505 [[foot|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. |
|||
Completed in 2004, the tower is linked by a nine metre high glass atrium to a neo-classical villa dating from 1915. The villa is listed as a building of historical importance and once belonged, along with the site as a whole, to the Philipp Holzmann construction group, which used the property as its corporate head office. A residential and commercial building with 52 one- to three-room apartments and ground-floor retail space completes the ensemble. |

The plans for the EUR 480 million project originated from Frankfurt architects JSK, who were commissioned by Holzmann AG. With building approval granted, the architects subsequently realised their plans on behalf of general contractors ABG and the new owner, [[DekaBank]], which had purchased the building for an open real estate fund of its real estate subsidiary, Deka Immobilien. Following completion in 2005, DekaBank moved into offices on the lower floors as the main tenant. |

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

Skyper has been owned since 2006 by an investment company belonging to the Swiss banking group [[UBS]]. |
|||
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. |

With 39 floors and an overall height of 154 metres, it is the 12th largest building in Germany. Its quadrant-shaped silhouette is a distinctive part of the Frankfurt cityscape.
Completed in 2004, the tower is linked by a nine metre high glass atrium to a neo-classical villa dating from 1915.

A residential and commercial building with 52 one- to three-room apartments and ground-floor retail space completes the ensemble.
The plans for the EUR 480 million project originated from Frankfurt architects JSK, who were commissioned by Holzmann AG.
