Ampega Asset Management GmbH is pleased to announce a significant leasing success in Frankfurt‘s banking district: Office spaces on the 9th and 10th floors of the SKYPER building at Taunusanlage 1 have been leased to Stifel Europe AG, a full-service investment bank with international reach. Each floor comprises up to 1,086 square meters and is individually divisible. The spaces are expected to be occupied in early summer 2025.

Stifel Europe AG was particularly impressed not only by SKYPER’s prime location and the high quality of its office spaces but also by the recently redesigned public areas of the SKYPER. These renovations are nearing completion. Among the changes, the lobby and the elevator foyer on the ground floor have been completely redesigned. A mega-screen has been installed above the entrance to the elevators, providing information and impressions for visitors and tenants. A special highlight is the newly installed, impressive light artwork Entangled Emotions by the renowned Danish artist Jeppe Hein on the forecourt in front of the skyscraper. Three monumental streetlights literally wind their way towards the sky, demonstrating how public art can engage in dialogue with its surroundings and the people within them.

„We are delighted to have secured Stifel Europe AG as a new tenant for the SKYPER. SKYPER has always been a pioneer in terms of efficiency and modernity and will continue to be a symbol of sustainable and advanced technology in the future. The comprehensive measures undertaken in recent months impressively underscore and enhance this,“ said Djam Mohebbi- Ahari, Managing Director of Ampega Investment GmbH and representative of the owner.

Stifel Europe AG was advised by Colliers International Deutschland GmbH and legally represented by Herbert Smith Freehills LLP during the leasing process, while the landlord was represented by BNP Paribas Real Estate GmbH

Fans of sushi, summer rolls, and spring bowls can rejoice: With a grand opening party, Tokygon in the Hashtag#SKYPER Carré has officially opened its doors and is now serving Asian delicacies right next to the SKYPER Tower. The name, combining Tokyo and Saigon, says it all: Inspired by a Japanese-Vietnamese romance, Tokygon offers dishes, ingredients, and harmonious fusions from the beloved culinary traditions of both countries.

Guests at the opening were already convinced by the concept: extremely fresh, beautifully presented food that not only tastes fantastic but is also served by a super friendly staff—this is how the many 5-star reviews on Google can be summarized. The stylish ambiance, which blends Japanese and Vietnamese influences just like the menu, also received enthusiastic approval.

With this new culinary offering, tenants of the SKYPER now have another quality option for lunch and dinner. We wish you a good appetite and pleasant times!

Between the iconic SKYPER Tower and the listed SKYPER Villa lies a sheltered forecourt in the middle of Frankfurt‘s banking district. Bright yellow, three monumental streetlights have been winding their way up to the sky there since these days. Reflected in the gleaming façade of the tower, the ensemble now forms the artistic prelude to this location and opens up a dialogue with the surroundings and its people. Elongated, curved, swaying masts with wide arches, tight curves and small loops combine to create dancing, moving forms. The sculptures provide identity by day and guiding light at night.

Jeppe Hein, who studied at Städelschule in Frankfurt and has a deep connection to the city, was aware of the inner-city contrasts when he developed the three-part work Entangled Emotions (2024) as site-specific light sculptures especially for the SKYPER forecourt. Hein‘s commissioned work for Frankfurt is a social interplay between city, people and open space: created to functionally and poetically extend a playful invitation to linger.

Entangled Emotions was conceived as a permanent work in urban space and commissioned by Ampega Asset Management GmbH as the owner‘s representative. SKYPER Tower is a landmark in the Frankfurt skyline. Its unusual floor plan in the shape of a quarter circle gives the high-rise its architectural extravagance, and the SKYPER has always been one of the smartest high-rises in Frankfurt in terms of sustainability, efficiency and innovation. Ampega is continuing along this path, with a focus on inspiring working environments and a new urban quality of life. As part of the development of the tower, the public areas on the first floor and the forecourt of the SKYPER are now being redesigned under the leadership of the architecture firm BilleBeyeScheid from Frankfurt. The architects paid particular attention to creating a suitable setting for Jeppe Hein‘s art.

The inauguration of the art and the new public areas of the SKYPER, including the forecourt, will take place in the summer. Further information will follow.

With an extensive modernization program, the appearance of the entrance, lobby, and elevator lobby at SKYPER is now being further optimized for tenants and guests.
The first step towards this goal has already been taken with the new lounge furniture in the lobby. Further modernization measures are now planned, which will be implemented gradually over the next few months. These include the renewal of the forecourt to the high-rise building, a more than 10-square-meter welcome screen in the lobby, as well as a completely redesigned elevator lobby on the ground floor featuring luxurious natural stone and an impressive lighting ceiling. Additionally, tenants and friends of the building can look forward to another very special highlight. More details on this will follow soon...

When the Working World Changes Fundamentally, Office Layouts Must Keep Up with New Requirements for Flexibility and Efficiency. Thanks to an optimization of the fire protection concept, SKYPER's floor plans now offer even more variable and efficient configuration options. Up to 90 workstations can now be accommodated on a single floor. With a construction grid of 1.40 meters, all conceivable layout configurations can be flexibly implemented—from communicative open-plan offices to mixed-use spaces and classic individual offices.

The open kitchenette areas serve as places of meeting and exchange. Ceiling heights of 3 meters convey a sense of freedom and spaciousness. Floor-to-ceiling, partially openable windows provide a breathtaking 360° panoramic view over the banking metropolis, further enhancing the sense of openness.

Always a little different—providing daily new inspirations! The working world is constantly evolving, and SKYPER evolves with it.

The future-proof charging infrastructure at SKYPER combines high safety standards, user-friendly operation, connectivity for tailored billing solutions, and intelligent energy and load management—all in one solution.

Professional Insights and Curious Questions: Nine Student Trainees from the Real Estate Department of Ampega Asset Management GmbH Spend an Exciting Day in the Impressive Office Tower How do potential tenants experience SKYPER in the newly furnished model floor? How does the sustainable technology of the tower work? And what is the view like from the top over the city's rooftops?

"Even in less than perfect weather, the view is breathtaking," was the unanimous opinion of the group from Cologne, accompanied by Property Manager Daniela Stegemann and guided through SKYPER by Building Manager Cäsar Feldmann (WISAG) and Leasing Manager Stefan Frielingsdorf. The group also took the opportunity to test out the lounge feeling in the newly equipped lobby and found it to be excellent!

The SKYPER lobby has always been representative. From now on, it invites you to linger with timeless design and plenty of style. This is achieved through features such as a large Soft-Work lounge group by Vitra and relaxation spots with comfortable armchairs from the famous designer Antonio Citterio's Grand Repos collection. The SKYPER Lounge is the ideal location for relaxed interactions with clients, friends, and colleagues. How about enjoying a delicious café latte or a snack? Sit down, feel at ease, enjoy the cozy ambiance – and the redesign is still ongoing, so stay tuned!
