Frankfurt, Germany–North German lender HSH Nordbank is providing a credit facility in the amount of €228 million (approximately $241 million) to U.S.-based property developer and investor Tishman Speyer for the construction of a mixed-use high-rise in Frankfurt’s financial district. The project is being developed on behalf of the company’s real estate fund in Europe.
The new building, which will be more than 574 feet tall, will be located in Grosse Gallusstrasse on a site measuring about 25,800 square feet (2,400 square meters). Construction is expected to start this year and be complete towards the end of 2018.

We have a long-standing business relationship with Tishman Speyer, in the course of which a professional management team has repeatedly demonstrated its extensive expertise and in-depth knowledge, including with regard to the German commercial real estate market,” Peter Axmann, head of the Real Estate Clients division at HSH Nordbank, said.
