The towers are located at Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage next to the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds, between the Messeturm and the Tower 185. The towers were constructed between 1994 and 1997. It was designed by New York architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. The unequal twin towers were named after the Dioscuri in Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux. The taller tower, named after the semi-god Pollux, rises to a height of 130 metres and has 33 storeys and comprises approximately 31,500 m2 (339,000 sq ft) of space.
