Let´s wait. I live 30 km south of Frankfurt, I drive through it two times a day. In the city, behind Deutsche Bank Towers, is some residental building ( 5-6 floors ) under construction. Zeil projekt is also U/C. That´s all I can see. Oh yes, not to forget, Garten Tower next to Main Tower is under reconstruction.
I tell you one more time, I like Frankfurt, but today is just too expensive to build some building here. Just one example:

-1990 Messeturm (257 m) costed cca.240 000 000 Euro ($US319 680 000)
-2005 Skyper (154 m) costed 480 000 000 Euro ($US 639 360 000 )
