Ärzteversorgung Westfalen-Lippe acquires two construction stages of MainTor Quarter

“MainTor Patio”, an asset located at the plaza of the MainTor Quarter, comprises around 6,000 m² in lettable area and 134 underground car park slots. Around 5,200 m² are intended for more than 90 rental units. Another 800 m² in commercial area are set aside for gastronomy, wellness and a children’s day-care centre, creating a convenient supply infrastructure for the residents of the entire MainTor Quarter. The project is handled by the architectural firm of KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten. DIC intends to have the “Patio” complex completed and ready for occupation by the end of 2014.

In a parallel effort, preparations are under way for selling around 80 condominiums with a total residential area of 9,800 sqm at the sub-project “MainTor Palazzi” to owner-occupiers and investors, with the marketing scheduled to kick off at the beginning of next year. Construction of these housing complexes directly on the bank of the Main river is to begin in summer of 2013.

The MainTor Quarter project of DIC Group is nothing less than the complete redevelopment of the area extending from Untermainkai to Weissfrauenstrasse. Formerly an enclosed compound, the estate is being developed not just by raising new structures, but by restoring it to the public realm and by firmly re-integrating into the surrounding city ward through walkways and streets. Architectonically speaking, MainTor Quarter will upgrade the riverbank facing Frankfurt’s CBD into a riverside financial district and thereby complete it in urban development terms. The successive construction stages will be realised incrementally in sync with the upcoming lettings and marketing activities. MainTor Quarter is scheduled to be operational in its entirety by 2015.
