The bank is based in Frankfurt, the largest financial centre in the Eurozone. Its location in the city is fixed by the Amsterdam Treaty along with other major institutions.[18] In the city, the bank currently occupies Frankfurt's Eurotower until its purpose-built headquarters are built.[19]
In 1999 an international architectural competition was launched by the bank to design a new building. It was won by a Vienna-based architectural office called Coop Himmelbau. The building will be approximately 180 metres (591 ft) tall (the present building is 148 m/486 ft) and will be accompanied by other secondary buildings on a landscaped site on the site of the former wholesale market (Grossmarkthalle) in the eastern part of Frankfurt am Main.
