The construction speed of this one is really amazing by western standards - 1.5 floors since my last update 6 days ago.










It's finally visible from the other side of the river Main.

I walked past the site in the evening. It has grown by another 2 floors during the last 8 days.

Agreed. Northern European cities really turn it out when it comes to skyscraper design. Everything in Frankfurt looks pretty great.

I am really liking the cladding on this project. Nice contrast! This is really going to change Frankfurt's skyline.

I agree. The cladding on this works very well. What are the cranes in the foreground of that last photo for?

This is a fine skyscraper. Very simple but very nice.

Can I ask what 'Taunus' means?

eg I remember the Ford Taunus from the 1980s in Europe.

'Taunus' is the name of the mountain range north of Frankfurt.
