Neuer Henninger Turm (140m),
residential
Tower with penthouses, restaurant and observation platform in upper floors, it replaces the original Henninger Turm (120m) from the early 60s. The design is a remanesance to the original. The round top back then was linked to a beer keg (I know, German stereotype) since it was part of the Henninger brewery (“Henninger”, “Binding”, today Radeberger Group).

Europaviertel
The Europaviertel is a new Frankfurt district, centrally located on a former industrial railway depot. It will provide housing for up to 10.000 residents, together with parks, commercial zones, schools etc. and jobs for up to 30.000 people. It will be connected with downtown Frankfurt via a new subway line. In total 8 towers in the range of 60-100m are planned, with 5 already under way.
A rendering of what is going to be only the very Eastern part of the district (about one quarter of total size I would guess):

Great to get another +150m tower, on the down side (and now it is confirmed)- we will definitely not see this 250m rocket around:

I think we can expect some really fancy piece of art here. Height might even get increased. For reference, this is the Porsche Design Tower in Miami (to be finished in 2016):

Tower 1 (210-215m)
Architecture contest is running, waiting for renderings
More than a decade ago this 212m beauty was planned but then canceled due to the economic situation back then. A new investor has taken over and initiated a contest already. They have successfully realized several skyscraper projects in Frankfurt before (i.e. Taunusturm and Opernturm), so these guys are not bullshiting. Approved height is 195m+technical extension (which is usually 15-20m for a tower of this height). Clearing of site has started.

Old Police Headquarters Tower (145m)
Not exactly a new project. On the negative: it gets affected by the new subway line to Europaviertel, so it is highly unlikely this will get built soon, since the tunnel will have to be finalized first. On the positive: there are rumors the city of Frankfurt may want to make a bit more cash when selling the site and therefore could increase the approved height to +180m
