The tower was initially planned to be 185 m (607 ft) with 50 storeys; however, when plans changed to increase the height by an additional five floors, its name was not changed.
When Germany submitted its application to have Frankfurt selected as the seat of the European Union's Anti-money-laundering authority (AMLA) in 2023, Tower 185 was one of three options – alongside Messeturm – presented as potential location for the new agency.[5]
