There's a thread about it in european section, but not here. I think it deserves a prominence as it isamzingly tall project for a city of that size in Europe.

Sky Tower moved closer (ENG)

LC Corp has been given the green light for the development of the Sky Tower complex in Wrocław. A subsidiary of LC Corp – Wrocław Nieruchomości – has been granted a building permit for the office-retail-residential project, which is to replace the Poltegor building on ul. Powstańców Słaskich, ul. Gwiażdzista and ul. Szczęśliwa. The new complex will comprise 7 buildings with a total area of more than 260,000 sqm, as well as a 220m residential tower – the tallest in Poland.

Going by the text at the end it's NOT under construction now. So this thread should be moved...

Very impressive, I really like it, very sleek, and ultra modern. Quite a change from what appears to be around it. It'll dominate everything in that city!
