GSK Stockmann advised the bank ING Deutschland on its lease of new headquarters in Frankfurt’s “Hafenpark Quartier” with a team led by Frankfurt partner Volker Hofstetter.
ING Germany signed a lease for approx. 32,000 sqm in Hafenpark Quartier in the Frankfurt’s east, in the immediate vicinity of the ECB and Frankfurt Ostbahnhof. The bank will completely occupy one of the two 16-storey office buildings currently under construction, making it one of the largest single-tenant leases on the Frankfurt market in recent years. In line with the tenant’s high demands in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, the building will fulfil the latest standards, operate entirely without fossil energy sources and has already been pre-certified under Leed Platinum, Wiredscore and Smartscore.
The lessor is the project developer B&L, which has been developing the site previously used for commercial purposes for around ten years. In addition to office space, the mixed-use development will also include flats and two hotels. Completion of the ING rental space is planned for the first quarter of 2028.
