The historic Villa Sander in Frankfurt is coming to life: SATELLITE OFFICE and founder Anita Gödiker invited guests to the “Building site party – a celebration among friends”. This event marked an important milestone in the creation of a unique workspace in Frankfurt’s banking district. Even before the renovation work was completed, friends, customers and guests celebrated the future vision of this location. The event also sent out a strong signal of social responsibility and the promotion of cultural values.
Villa Sander: a historical gem
Villa Sander, a magnificent Wilhelminian-style villa, is located on Mainzer Landstrasse, surrounded by the towers of Deutsche Bank. Designed by Friedrich H. L. Sander, the building last served as a guest house for Deutsche Bank. Now the villa is being converted into a state-of-the-art business center for SATELLITE OFFICE, without losing any of its historical charm. Christian Kumbernuss, Managing Director of landlord Dr. Bscher Immobilien, emphasized the many years of trustful cooperation with SATELLITE OFFICE.
Tradition meets modernity
The special feature of this project is the combination of traditional architecture and state-of-the-art technology. The villa will retain its historical splendor, but will be equipped with state-of-the-art office technology. The opening is planned for February 2025.
Symbol of social responsibility
The “construction site party” was more than just a site celebration. Under the motto “Unmistakable signs in unheard-of times”, the event stood for social cohesion and cultural responsibility. At a time of increasing social divisions, the event called for cooperation for a more inclusive society.
The new Business Center
Under the management of Director Jens Kirchhoff, 42 offices, co-working areas, conference rooms, think tanks and fireplace lounges are being created on around 2,000 square meters. The business center is particularly geared towards the needs of the financial industry and also offers virtual offices and company start-ups.
Focus on sustainability
Sustainability is a key aspect of the conversion. Modern technologies optimize energy consumption while preserving the historic substance of the villa. The Villa Sander is not only intended to impress aesthetically, but also to make a contribution to environmental protection.
Focus on art and culture
A highlight of the party was the performance by the “Satellite Artists”, sponsored by the “Instrumentum Foundation”. The foundation supports young musicians with master instruments. The musical performances showed how economic success and social commitment can go hand in hand.
The “construction site party” was an inspiring prelude to the opening in February 2025, which will bring together history, culture and modernity.
