The Gallileo Tower is located in the financial district of Frankfurt across the street from the Eurotower. The name of the tower is derived from the nearby Gallusanlage Park and the astronomer Galileo.
The Gallileo tower was built between 1998 and 2003 to house the investment banking offices of the Dresdner Bank now taken over by the Commerzbank. The other offices of the bank are in the nearby Silver Tower. Another high rise structure built in 1951 called the Zinssertum was torn down to make way for this skyscraper in 1996. The tower is the 14th tallest building in Frankfurt.

The Silver Tower was the tallest building in Germany till 1991. The main administrative offices of one of the major banks in Germany, the Dresdner Bank are located in the building. Its location is the Jurgen Ponto Platz in the financial district of Frankfurt.
The Silver tower was constructed between 1975 and 1978 by the Mannheim based international company Bilfinger Berger. The façade is made of aluminum and glass giving it a silver glow. The plaza on which the building stands is named after Jurgen Ponto a former CEO of the Dresdner Bank who was slain by the then active Red Army. The tower is 166 meters high with 32 floors. The design is of four structures with rounded edges. The rounded edges are a unique feature among skyscrapers in Frankfurt. The electric wires run below the high floors and the air conditioning is above the suspended ceilings that cause the elevation in the floors.
Other interesting facets of the Silver Tower are a concert hall where artists sponsored by the Jurgen Ponto foundation perform and a small neon artwork gallery at the top floor. The hallways are also decorated with neon art. At the top of the building is an auditorium with floor to ceiling windows offering a panoramic view.

Originally built for the American Hyatt hotel group, the Deutsche Bank Twin Towers were taken over by the Deutsche Bank to house its offices. The complex consists of two 155 meter towers rising from a four floor base building. The two towers are called the debit and credit towers by the locals.
The Deutsche Bank Twin Towers were constructed between 1979 and 1984. The design was by ABB Architects Hanig, Scheid and Schmidt. The building is of concrete with a superior grade glass façade. The complex covers an area of 108,500 square meters. The floor plans of each tower are offset at 45 degree angles to prevent the windows from looking into each other. The design also facilitates the cool air from the Taunus Mountains to flow around the towers and into the city. The building is undergoing extensive renovation based on eco friendly principles to conform to new fire regulations of the city of Frankfurt.
The largest man shaped monolith called Continuity, sculpted by Bauhaus artist, Professor Max Bill greets viewers at the front of the building. The 5 meter high sculpture is carved using a single piece of granite depicting a two sided continuous strip.

The Trianon is the fifth tallest building in Frankfurt and has an approximate height of 186 meters. The construction of The Trianon was completed in 1993. The building likely received its name from the triangular design. Also, an upside-down pyramid is placed at the top of The Trianon.

Westend-Tower is not your stereotypical skyscraper with commercial offices. The tower is distinct due to an amazing "crown" that decorates the top of the building. In 1995, Westendstraße 1, as it's known by locals, won the "Best Building of the Year" award for its multi-functional design and architecture.

One of the many skyscrapers of Frankfurt is the City Haus located in the West End at the Republic Square. The high rise office building is 142 meters tall and has 42 floors. When the building opened its doors, it was the second tallest building in Germany.
City Haus was constructed based on plans drawn by architects Johannes Krahn and Richard Heil. The building was ready for use in 1974. City Haus courted controversy throughout its construction period. A section of citizens objected to high rise buildings coming in the location when construction began. While work was underway, a fire broke out in 1973 delaying the completion of the structure. Finally, the bronzed aluminum façade gave a dull forbidding appearance that was unappealing to locals and visitors. At first City Haus was called Selmi Hochhaus after its Persian owner Ali Selmi. In 1976, the building was acquired by the DG Bank, now called the DZ Bank. The bank built a seven floor extension called City Haus II in 1986.
In 2006, the DZ Bank carried out extensive renovations to the building with the help of Frankfurt firm, Christoph Mackler Architects. The result was a new façade that allowed natural light and gave City Haus a clean and green appearance. Today, the structure conforms to European energy conservation regulations. There is also an art gallery in the building with a separate entrance that visitors can use to view the exhibits.

The Messetrum or Trade Fair Tower is the second tallest building in Frankfurt, in Germany and in the European Union. The tower was completed in 1991 and is located on the trade fair grounds of Frankfurt. Locals call the building the Pencil because of its shape.
The Messetrum is 256 meters high and has 60 floors. It is a city landmark and a symbol of Germany’s economic boom. The structure is built using a post modernist art deco style. The building was designed by German American architect Helmut Jahn. A world record was set when the foundation of the structure was laid. A 20 meter deep foundation was dug and 90 trucks poured concrete for 78 hours making it the longest concrete pour in the world. The tower has a combination of shapes. It has a square footprint, rises as a square, becomes a cylinder and changes to a pyramid at the summit. The structure uses the red sandstone from the Main River extensively unlike other modern high rise buildings in Frankfurt.
Today the tower is used predominantly as commercial office space. The building also has a restaurant and a parking space for 900 vehicles. A major attraction is American artist Jonathan Borofsky’s 21.5 meter, giant moving sculpture of a hammering man located in front of Messetrum.
