The Warsaw Spire has been named the best business and office development in the world at the 2017 MIPIM real estate awards held in Cannes. Completed in May 2016, the office complex beat off competition from 44 other countries to claim the prestigious prize.

“The investment has redefined the image of Warsaw,” said Jeroen van der Toolen of Ghelamco, “and has set entirely new standards in terms of thinking about commercial construction.” Comprising of a 220-meter tower, two flanking side buildings and the first general-access urban square in Warsaw’s post-war history, the Spire has become symbolic of the area’s transformation into the capital’s new Central Business District.
