A one-of-a-kind property in Frankfurt: Listed water tower with potential for residential or commercial development

For sale is a listed former water tower dating from 1899, located within the city of Frankfurt am Main. This historic structure is a genuine one-of-a-kind property and offers exceptional potential for conversion to residential or commercial use. The tower was built using solid construction methods and is distinguished by its cylindrical form and characteristic two-tone brickwork. The original water tank has already been removed. The structure is currently approximately 13 metres high; its original height was around 35 metres. The existing building has an enclosed volume of approximately 915 m³ in accordance with DIN 277. Based on the project concepts currently available, development with a gross floor area of approximately 520 m² over up to eight floors is envisaged. These details represent the current planning or conceptual status and are subject to further reviews, approvals and detailed execution planning. The property is in need of renovation, offering future purchasers the opportunity to realise an individual and architecturally ambitious utilisation concept. Key project-preparatory documents and assessments are already available, including a preliminary building inquiry, a fire-safety report, proof of parking spaces, the fire service’s approval for ladder access, the partial approval issued by the heritage protection authority and a building application ready for submission. Provision has also already been made for water and electricity connections. The property includes a garden plot in the area in front of the tower. The tower itself is surrounded by municipal land. However, access and use are secured by existing rights of way and usage rights. Overall, this exceptional listed property offers a rare opportunity to reinterpret an architecturally distinctive historic structure and give it a contemporary use—whether as exclusive living space or an extraordinary place to work.
