The Gehry Tower in Hanover stands at Goethestraße 13a in the Steintor district. Frank Gehry designed it for Hanover Transport Services (üstra), a city-owned company that commissioned it. Construction began in 1999, and it opened officially on June 28, 2001. The article names no style or function.
The tower has nine stories and a stainless steel facade on a ferroconcrete core. The facade has a noticeable twist, and the design makes efficient use of a small plot. Gehry's office built a 1:100 model, scanned it and imported it into CAD software to calculate the dimensions of each part, which vary in size and shape.
The cost was 8.5 million Deutsche Mark. Gehry also designed a bus stop in Hanover for üstra. The article gives no completion date, hours or access details, and it carries a tag asking for more citations.
