The Palais Quartier, formerly known as FrankfurtHochVier, is a building complex in the Innenstadt district of Frankfurt, Germany. It was built from 2004 to 2011. The complex consists of four buildings: Beneath the complex lies the largest underground car park in Frankfurt's city centre with 1,396 parking positions.

Location

Palais Quartier is located on a 1.7 acre area between Frankfurt's main shopping street, the Zeil, and the historic Eschenheim Tower.

History

The site had been used for decades by Deutsche Post as the main post office in Frankfurt. It was sold to an investor in 2002 and plans were made for a new building complex including a large shopping mall because the site borders the Zeil, Frankfurt's top-selling shopping street. The demolition of the old post buildings, including one of Frankfurt's first high rise buildings, the 69 m-high Fernmeldehochhaus, began in 2004, but legal disputes delayed the construction works for several months.
