Clifford Chance has advised Eurotower Frankfurt GmbH & Co. KG on the sale of the Eurotower in Frankfurt to Patrizia Immobilien AG. Patrizia was acting on behalf of the Taiwanese insurer Fubon Life. This was one of the largest real estate transactions on the Frankfurt market in 2018.

The 40-storey Eurotower is one of the most well-known landmarks in the Frankfurt skyline. It was the headquarters of the European Central Bank until 2014 and is considered to be the birthplace of the euro. The building is now being used by the European banking supervisory authorities following the completion of major refurbishment work.

The Clifford Chance team comprised partners Christian Keilich and Stefan Löchner, counsel Philipp Stoecker and transaction lawyers Elmostafa Habib and Magda Pawela-Häusler (all Real Estate). Advisory services were also provided by partner Jan Grabbe, counsel Dominik Engl (both Tax), partner Thomas Krecek, counsel Stefan Bruder, senior associate Margret Bootz-Hagen (all Corporate/M&A) and partner Gregor Evenkamp and counsel Alexandra Margarete Uhl (both Banking & Capital Markets, all Frankfurt).

Christian Keilich and Philipp Stoecker had previously advised on the purchase of the Eurotower in 2015.
