Logo of the Palais Quartier

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

The complex consists of four buildings:

MyZeil, a shopping mall with a gross leaseable area of 77,000 sq m
Palais Thurn und Taxis, a reconstruction of a palace from 1793 which had been badly damaged in World War II
Nextower, a 136-meter (446 ft)-high rise office building with a floor area of 48,000 sq m
JW Marriott Frankfurt (Jumeirah Frankfurt until April 2022), a 99-meter (325 ft)-high rise hotel building with 271 units

Beneath the complex lies the largest underground car park in Frankfurt's city centre with 1,396 parking positions.

Location

[edit]

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

History

[edit]

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, Frankfurt's top-selling shopping street. The demolition of the old post buildings, including one of Frankfurt's first high rise buildings, the 69-meter (226 ft)-high Fernmeldehochhaus, began in 2004, but legal disputes delayed the construction works for several months.
