The tower was initially planned to be 185 m (607 ft) with 50 storeys; however, in the final plan by Christoph Mäckler, the height was increased to 200 m (660 ft). Nevertheless, its name was not changed, hence "Tower 185".^[6]

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.^[7]
