Nina Homeyer, Managing Director at IMAXXAM, says: “With the acquisition of the ‘Lighttower,’ we are securing a landmark property in one of Frankfurt’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The Ostend district stands out for its vibrant micro-location and excellent transportation links, and is among the most sought-after office addresses.
’s near-full occupancy rate and tenant structure with strong creditworthiness underscore the stable returns and the investment’s appeal. The flexible, multifunctional floor plans and modern technical infrastructure are ideally suited to the changing needs of many tenants. Furthermore, the building offers a very strong foundation in terms of ESG standards—a clear advantage for the future of our portfolio.”

The approximately 75-meter-tall “Lighttower” was built in 1966 and underwent extensive renovation and an addition in 2005. Since then, it has featured a flexible floor plan that accommodates both individual and open-plan offices as well as hybrid solutions, and offers unobstructed panoramic views. The virtually column-free floor plans allow for a high degree of spatial flexibility. The property features modern technical amenities, including high-performance IT cabling (CAT7), raised and hollow-core floors in the hallways and offices, external sunshades, cooling, and windows that open. The underground garage and the parking deck connected to the “
” provide a total of 87 parking spaces, 15 of which are already equipped with EV charging stations. Through measures such as the switch to green electricity, LED lighting, and connection to district heating, the building can be developed in a long-term and sustainable manner.

 
The Ostend district of Frankfurt is notable not only for the Osthafen area, its close proximity to the European Central Bank, and a mix of modern office buildings, residential complexes, and cultural institutions. It is distinguished above all by its excellent public transportation connections, its proximity to the Frankfurt financial district (
), and a dynamic environment with growing demand for office space. For example, ING DiBa will soon be moving into its new headquarters in the immediate vicinity. Hanauer Landstraße provides quick access to downtown Frankfurt (2.5 km) and the airport (13 km)
, making the location particularly attractive for businesses. In the immediate vicinity of the “Lighttower” are numerous retail stores, restaurants, and service providers, which further enhance the location’s appeal for companies and employees.
