European Central Bank becomes anchor tenant at CapitaLand's Frankfurt building

The Grade A office tower is to house ECB under 10-year lease agreement.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) and CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) have secured the European Central Bank (ECB) as the new anchor tenant at Gallileo building in Frankfurt. 

Gallileo, a 38-storey Grade A office building located in Frankfurt's banking district, will now host the ECB under a 10-year lease agreement, occupying nearly 93% of the building's net lettable area. 

Commencing in the second half of 2025, CapitaLand will gradually hand over the leased area to the ECB following the completion of ongoing asset enhancement initiatives (AEI).

Upgrading works at Gallileo began last February, with an investment of approximately $262m (€180m)in AEI, aimed at improving infrastructure, systems, and environmental efficiency. The AEI is estimated to take at least 18 months, targeting a minimum green rating of LEED Gold.

Furthermore, CapitaLand is expected to finalise a lease agreement with the City of Frankfurt for basement space usage by the English Theatre Frankfurt. With the ECB and the City of Frankfurt as tenants, Gallileo's committed occupancy is expected to surpass 95%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
