About Us
The Company
Green-Towers at heart is a technology company. We specialize in nearly carbon neutral, sustainable, residential high-rises. Operationally, we are boutique developers bidding for major residential tower projects. They are based upon highly developed technology and standards. We work in Frankfurt and London.
The beauty of high-rise living includes a full vision view through glass façades. Therefore, in 2017 we developed the first fully glazed residential tall-building façades which qualified for the ultra low energy performance of Passive House. Our towers save over 80% of the operational energy and its carbon footprint. In 2019 we reached the round of the final bidders with a tower also carbon neutral in construction.
Our second important green feature is our economical garden façade. All tenants will enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle in their own garden in the sky. It also cools down city heat islands.
That all said, Green-Towers economics are based upon exceptional experience in design, engineering and execution. By standardization and efficiency through all trades, we make schemes much more viable compared to most on the market. We see ourselves as the first developer providing a truly iconic tower architecture and nearly carbon neutral operations at affordable cost.
