The Palais Quartier ( [paˈleː kvaʁˌtiːɐ̯]), formerly known as FrankfurtHochVier, is a building complex in the Innenstadt district of Frankfurt, Germany. It was built from 2004 to 2011.

Contents

The complex consists of four buildings:

  • MyZeil, a shopping mall
  • Palais Thurn und Taxis, a reconstruction of a palace from 1793 which had been badly damaged in World War II
  • Nextower, a 136-metre high rise office building
  • Jumeirah Frankfurt, a 99-metre high rise hotel building
  • Beneath the complex lies the largest underground car park in Frankfurts city centre with 1,396 parking positions.

    Location

    Palais Quartier is located on a 1.7-acre (0.69 ha) area between Frankfurts main shopping street, the Zeil, and the historic Eschenheim Tower.

    History

    The site had been used for decades by Deutsche Post as the main post office in Frankfurt. It was sold to an investor in 2002 and plans were made for a new building complex including a large shopping mall because the site borders the Zeil, Frankfurts top-selling shopping street. The demolition of the old post buildings, including one of Frankfurts first high rise buildings, the 69-metres Fernmeldehochhaus, began in 2004, but legal disputes delayed the construction works for several months.
