MAB said in a statement that MyZeil adds a new dimension to Zeil, Frankfurt's main shopping street and one of the busiest shopping streets in Germany.

The multifunctional Palais Quartier project 'unites old and new, and offers an urban environment with a total surface area of 226,650 m2'. The complex consists of the restored historical edifice Thurn und Taxis Palais, a hotel tower, an office tower and MyZeil shopping centre. The Palais Quartier hotel and office towers were designed by the architects Engel and Zimmermann. The shopping and leisure world of the shopping center was designed by the Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas. The office tower, hotel tower and the renovation of the Thurn & Taxis Palais are all scheduled to open during the course of 2009.
