The office building “forty6 west” is located in City West, a Frankfurt district characterized by an urban mix of office and hotel buildings as well as modern residential quarters and a variety of restaurants. Due to its excellent accessibility via Westbahnhof railway station and its proximity to the trade fair, City West is considered a popular location for international active companies.The building, which was constructed in 2003, has three entrances and comprises a rental area of around 14,500 square meters on seven floors, plus 169 basement parking spaces. The floor plan is suitable for both contemporary open-plan and classic office space between 400 and 10,000 square meters. Within the next three years, most of the rental space will be modernized, and the goal is to achieve exemplary energy consumption and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification for sustainable construction.
