Westfalentower, Office tower in Dortmund, Germany
The Westfalentower is an office building in Dortmund with 22 floors reaching 86 meters high, making it the city's third-tallest office tower. The complex comprises three sections - Tower, Atrium, and Forum - offering a total of 29,000 square meters of office space alongside an underground parking facility for 400 vehicles.
Construction was completed in early 2010, following the topping-out ceremony on 25 November 2009 attended by Dortmund's mayor. The tower rose during a period when the city was modernizing its economy.
The building houses the West Studio of ProSiebenSat1 AG, which has produced regional television programs for North Rhine-Westphalia since 2010. This media presence shapes how locals perceive the tower's role in the city.
Access and conditions depend on the individual tenants since this is a private complex rather than a public venue. Only specific areas may be open to visitors without prior arrangement.
After experiencing 90 percent vacancy in 2012, the tower transformed into a major business hub when Commerzbank AG leased nearly half the rental space in 2014. This turnaround shows how quickly a building's fortunes can shift.
