Lauded as one of ‘the new symbols of Warsaw’, the Varso Tower is now officially open for business after welcoming its first tenant yesterday.
Lauded as one of ‘the new symbols of Warsaw’, the Varso Tower is now officially open for business after welcoming its first tenant yesterday.
Designed by Foster + Partners, the EU’s tallest architectural structure has been dubbed the ‘final showpiece’ of the mixed-use Varso Place project.
Reaching 310-meters to the tip of its spire, the record-breaking construction also boasts Warsaw’s highest garden thanks to the 16 trees that were planted at 206-meters above ground level in mid-2021.
“A key part of the project is its greenery,” states the developer, HB Reavis. “Another dozen trees decorate the spacious, mosaic-lined lobby and pepper the surroundings.”
“Varso Tower’s timeless, slender design is emphasized by the boomerang-shaped steps near its summit, while the façade’s vertical divide brings a lightness and elegance to its character,” they continued.
The building has already been certified as ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Gold’ by BREEAM and WELL, and features 70,000 sq/m of ESG-centric workspace.
The tower’s completion does not, however, signal an end to the headlines. On October 8th, the tower will welcome 500 runners who will race up 53-floors and 1,400 stairs to compete in a charity run seeking to raise money for Ukraine.
