Hines Appointed by Revcap and RFR Joint Venture on Major Residential Development in Frankfurt

Building to be renamed 160 Park View

(Frankfurt, Germany) - RFR Holding GmbH (RFR) and Revcap are joining together to revitalize the tower known as Hochhaus am Park in Frankfurt’s Westend district. The joint venture has now brought another partner, Hines, onto the project to develop a new 96-meter high-rise residential scheme.

Hochhaus am Park, which is to be renamed 160 Park View, will transform the existing obsolete office block into twin towers, accommodating approximately 130 apartments, a 150-bedroom hotel and a public day care center.

RFR and Hines already have shared project experience in joint ventures in New York. RFR remains responsible for commercial project development in the joint project, while Hines will look after the technical aspects.

“With Hines, we have obtained an internationally renowned and experienced investor and developer for 160 Park View. This underscores the attractiveness of the project. At the same time, we are remaining true to our policy of realising development projects in joint ventures with select partners,” explains RFR Representative Dr Alexander Koblischek.

Daniel Reichwein, Managing Director of Hines said: “We are looking forward to bringing our expertise and experience to this exciting project, and are pleased to have the opportunity to continue our relationship with playing an important role in a high quality project, which is the focus of our corporate strategy.”

Planning permission for the project is expected in the second quarter of this year. Demolition work is set to begin in the next few weeks.

160 Park View is in direct proximity to Goethe University Frankfurt between FĂĽrstenbergerstrasse, GrĂĽneburgweg and Wolfsgangstrasse.
