Europaviertel
Frankfurt
Next to the impressive ONE skyscraper, now around 170 meters high, another building is taking shape. It is ONE’s free-standing parking garage, which is connected underground to the high-rise building and will be available exclusively to ONE’s office users, hotel guests and guests of ONE. The first construction phase has now been completed with the concreting of the ceiling above the 6th floor.
While many commuters have to be patient in Frankfurt city traffic on their way to their office in the morning and on their way home in the evening, the office tenants of ONE are saving this valuable time. Their workplace is located almost directly on the Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage and thus only a few hundred meters away from the highway access to the A66 and A5. And thanks to the new parking garage and the Skyline Plaza’s directly adjacent parking garage, finding a parking space is no problem either. The ONE multi-storey parking lot offers 470 parking spaces on 7 floors alone, many of which are equipped with e-charging stations.
The approximately 600 covered and secured bicycle parking spaces with services make the parking lot ONE GOOD IDEA
As a platinum-certified green building, ONE naturally also wants to motivate office users who do not have such a long journey to work to use their own bicycles. For this reason, the parking garage also offers around 600 covered and secured bicycle parking spaces – and of course the trend towards e-mobility is also taken into account here with 33 e-bike charging stations.
The centerpiece is the large bicycle room on the first floor. The entrances to the bicycle parking spaces are monitored by camera, access to the parking garage is only possible with an access card. Here, cyclists will not only find fixed and safe parking spaces for their bicycles, but also a comprehensive range of services. Nobody has to fear a “flat tire” in the ONE, because here in the large bike room there is a practical repair station with a stable assembly stand, patching and tools. Even a wheel pump is available. In addition, the station can also be used for minor repairs to baby carriages or wheelchairs. All you need to bring along is a bit of manual skill or perhaps an expert colleague.
A contribution to a clean environment: Switching to the bike in the ONE is more comfortable than almost anywhere else
And nobody has to worry about coming into the office sweaty, because showers and changing rooms for the sporty tenants have also been thought of. These are located on the first basement level of the high-rise building – where there is also direct underground access from the parking garage to ONE.
The access from the parking garage into the building is underground, where the showers and lockers will also be located, or via the passage between the two buildings.
For guests or other cyclists, a bike-sharing offer is set up directly in front of the building. This not only makes travel within Frankfurt much faster and more flexible, but also makes an important contribution to the climate.
Construction of the parking garage will continue in spring 2021. By then, the shell of the ONE will be completed and the space next to the building on which the parking lot will be built will no longer be needed as shunting and storage space. When the parking garage is finished, the roof will be planted with low growing grasses, herbs and succulents and will be a small green oasis for the eye.
