Omniturm
Design
The tower was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group.
The Omni Tower is notably characterized by a "swing" halfway up the building. The spiral axis shift from the center enables terraces for the living area between the 14th and 23rd floors. In the largest shift, the so-called "residential" area is offset by a total of more than 5 m (16 ft) from the baseline. The 49 storey tower contains 43,850 m (472,000 sq ft) of rentable office space, 8,175 m (87,990 sq ft) of living space and 1,579 m (17,000 sq ft) of publicly accessible area.
According to Designbloom, "the lower part of the building is organized as a slender and rational stack, before the floorplates start to slide outwards in a spiraling motion where the tower contains residential programming. In its uppermost portion, the structure returns to a simple tower block, rejoining the orientation of the floors below".
Usage
Omniturm is a mixed-used tower. The building has a leasable area of more than 54,100 m (582,000 sq ft), with around 44,200 m (476,000 sq ft) as flexible office space. 147 premium-apartments account for a further 8,200 m (88,000 sq ft).
Owner
The building was purchased by Commerz Real, an investment asset manager for Commerzbank in 2018.
