SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower

Gazing up at the SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower, one might wonder about its story. This impressive structure, also known as the Schwabenlandtower, dominates the Fellbach skyline near Stuttgart. Originally called the Gewa-Tower, a combination of the builder’s names, Michael Georg Warbanoff, the SLT 107 stands 107 meters tall. The SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower was envisioned as a mixed-use development. It was designed to house luxury apartments, businesses, and a hotel. Construction began in May 2014, with an estimated cost of 60 million euros. The topping-out ceremony took place on September 9, 2016. The project was initially slated for completion by the end of 2016. However, misfortune struck in November 2016 when the construction company, GEWA 5 to 1 GmbH & Co. KG, filed for insolvency. Construction halted, leaving the SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower an unfinished giant. The project remained stagnant until September 2018, when the CG Gruppe from Berlin purchased the tower for 15 million euros. They renamed it the SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower and planned to convert the 66 planned luxury apartments into 192 rental units. The completion date was pushed back to the end of 2020. Further delays arose in 2020 after Adler Real Estate acquired a 94% stake in Consus Real Estate, the main owner of CG Gruppe. The completion was then rescheduled for the second quarter of 2023. The SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower stands as the tallest building in Baden-Württemberg. Upon completion, it will be the tallest residential building in the state and one of the tallest in Germany. It will boast 34 floors, housing 192 apartments and a 165-room hotel. The tower’s unique architecture makes it a striking landmark. The SLT 107 Schwabenlandtower’s journey reflects both the challenges and resilience of modern development.
