FRANKY – THE NEW
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IN GALLUS
The Gallus district in Frankfurt is just like the city, and indeed, the immediate vicinity, namely full of variety and life. FRANKY is being created right in the middle, on Kleyerstrasse: a residential area with a character all of its own. FRANKY stands for freedom and diversity, quality of life and a sense of homeliness. For some it is a great haven away from the hustle and bustle, for others a dynamic gateway to life. And for all of them FRANKY is their home in the city.
AT HOME IN THE CITY
FRANKY provides a home for people with different life plans and in all phases of life. Be it young professionals, singles, silver-agers, couples or families – FRANKY offers rental apartments for anyone who’d like to live in a neighbourhood community of an urban district.
FRANKY spells discerning architecture, a focus on what people need, partly barrier-free living concepts, opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, everyday amenities and modern mobility. Meaning a great place to live, right in the centre of Frankfurt, for around 3,000 people.

FRANKY is a pioneer in terms of sustainability
FRANKY will not only be a home for people at all stages of their lives – the residential quarter is also being built in an awareness of the need to achieve as positive a climate balance as possible. In particular, with features such as the innovative heating concept, the wide-ranging greenery in the quarter, the careful preservation of the site’s old trees, and the creation of open spaces FRANKY is definitely ideally suited for tomorrow’s world.
Innovative heating system
FRANKY is setting the bar high above all with its innovative heating concept. Of the estimated annual consumption of approx. 4,000 megawatt hours (MWh) for heating and to provide hot drinking water, at least 60 % will be source from the waste heat of the data centre next door. The rest or a maximum of 40 % will be covered by remote heating from the combined heat and power plant (CHPP) operated by Frankfurt’s energy utility Mainova AG. Some of the remote heating is generated by waste incineration. In this way, 3,000 people will be supplied with sustainable energy. Moreover, the concept results in annual savings of around 400 tons of CO2 – lowering the carbon footprint by about 50 % compared to purely gas-based solutions. Thanks to this approach, combined with additional structural measures, the entire district will qualify for the KfW Efficiency House 55 standard.
Extensive Greening in the Quarter
The entire quarter will boast a mass of greenery: from the roofs of the buildings and underground car park via the district plaza with its old trees through to the communal areas and leisure spaces, not to mention the spacious inner courtyards. The plants selected for the areas to be redesigned were chosen with the ongoing climatic changes in mind. They will thus bring about a long-term improvement in the district’s microclimate and in air quality while at the same time creating additional habitats for animals. And as rainwater will be directly absorbed, the pressure on the urban drainage system will be reduced.
Contemporary Mobility and a Broad Range of Uses
In the new FRANKY quarter, everything is close at hand: In addition to green spaces and leisure areas there is also a wide range of eateries and shopping outlets, not to mention child-care facilities in the heart of the quarter. FRANKY is a traffic-calmed district boasting 3,000 parking spaces for bikes and ideal public transport connections making it easy to get around in a way that’s good for the environment. Should someone nevertheless need to use a car, there are 1,100 parking spaces and 175 of these come equipped with e-charging stations.
