Skyline Plaza

Skyline Plaza opened in September 2013 at Europa-Allee in Frankfurt’s Europaviertel district, with approximately 38,000 sqm of gross leasable area across a rooftop garden-crowned development as a premium-positioned enclosed retail and leisure destination serving Frankfurt’s rapidly developing Bahnhofsviertel and Europaviertel residential and office quarter. The centre is owned by Union Investment Real Estate and managed by ECE Projektmanagement.

Frankfurt’s Europaviertel is a large mixed-use urban development zone on former exhibition grounds west of the main station, comprising office towers, residential high-rises, the Messe Frankfurt trade fair complex, and the retail and leisure infrastructure of which Skyline Plaza is the anchor. The centre’s positioning targets the premium professional consumer base concentrated in the Europaviertel and the broader Frankfurt financial district, with an above-average proportion of quality fashion and lifestyle operators relative to mainstream German regional malls. The rooftop garden is Frankfurt’s largest inner-city green space accessible to the public, providing a leisure dimension that extends the visit occasion beyond retail. The connection to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof via a direct pedestrian route makes the centre accessible on foot from Germany’s busiest long-distance rail terminus. The tenant programme includes H&M, Zara, and mainstream brands alongside premium dining and leisure operators.

Frankfurt’s population of approximately 770,000 and the Rhine-Main metropolitan region of approximately 2.3 million provide the catchment. The U4 U-Bahn at Festhalle/Messe provides direct transit access from Frankfurt city centre. Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof — Germany’s most-used rail terminus by passenger throughput — provides national intercity accessibility.

Union Investment and ECE positioned Skyline Plaza as the commercial lifestyle anchor for Frankfurt’s premium new urban quarter, a centre whose rooftop garden and architecture-conscious design reflect the income and aesthetic expectations of the financial district professionals who constitute its primary target consumer.
