If you were an American and were ever stationed around Frankfurt....one of the top dozen impressive buildings of the city was the old police headquarters....about 300 meters north of the train-station (bahnhof).
Around the 1990s as the US Army vacated the city.....some of their property was consumed for a new police city headquarters. So around 2002.....the old station was vacated.
What was to be done with the building or property (15.4 hectares).....was unknown. A lot of arguments went on, and property speculation went to the maximum degree.
Around the spring of 2018, the property was finally sold to a developer. This week, the plan was laid out.
The whole station will be demolished.
What comes next? A skyscrapper in the area, 145 meters tall. A hotel, offices, some space set to reduced rent situations, etc.
A new era? Well...construction doesn't start until early 2022, and they figure at least 2026 before it's done.
