How much did Westendstraße 1 (DZ Bank tower) cost to build?

Westendstraße 1, also called the Westend Tower, is a 53-storey, 208 m skyscraper in Frankfurt's Westend-Süd district, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with the local firms Nägele, Hofmann and Tiedemann. It was built between 1990 and 1993 for DG Bank, now the DZ Bank headquarters, with about 80,700 m2 of usable floor space, a light granite facade and a crown of eleven radiating beams. Wikipedia lists its cost as US$400 million, citing the CTBUH database, but that source could not be opened.
