The current Messberghof was built as Ballinhaus, named after the Hamburg shipowner Albert Ballin. Built in the early 1920s, it forms the southern boundary of the Kontorhausviertel, which was recently included in the list of World Heritage Sites, and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Chilehaus and the Sprinkenhof.

Architecture and building sculpture
The ten-storey building has a pronounced head building to the west and two wings that run parallel to Pumpen and Willy-Brandt-Straße. The eight upper floors above the ground floor have the same floor plan of the load-bearing walls and pillars, only the ninth floor is a bit withdrawn. The house is made of reinforced concrete with a brick facade. The rather flat hipped roof is covered with titanium sheet.

The Meßberghof was built as a Ballinhaus according to plans by Hans and Oskar Gerson. The renaming took place because the National Socialists did not like the idea of naming it after a successful Jewish shipowner like Albert Ballin. Ballin had made HAPAG the world's largest shipping company. But even this merit counted for nothing with the Nazis. At the behest of Gauleiter Karl Kaufmann, the Ballinhaus was called the Meßberghof from 1938. This office building is a multi-storey reinforced concrete building with a clinker facade in front and a flat hipped roof. The architectural sculpture of the facade comes from Lothar Fischer, who created eight figures between 1996 and 1997, which replace the lost original building decoration.
