Developer HB Reavis has recently held a cornerstone-laying ceremony at the construction site of its Varso office project in downtown Warsaw, which will include the tallest building in Poland and one of the tallest office skyscrapers in Europe. The huge scheme, which is being developed across the street from the Złote Tarasy shopping mall, will comprise three buildings – a 310 meter tower (including an 80 meter spire) and two lower buildings, standing 90 meters and 81 meters tall. In total, the development will offer approximately 140,000 sqm of leasable space. The skyscraper was designed by the renowned Foster + Partners architectural studio, while the designs of the lower buildings were provided by Poland's HRA (Hermanowicz Rewski Architekci) architects. HB Reavis Construction is acting as the general contractor for the investment, which is scheduled for completion in 2020. The total value of the Varso project is estimated at around €0.5 billion.
