  • Biurowe Wieże Rosną W Centrum I Na Bliskiej Woli Artur
    Biurowe wieże rosną w centrum i na bliskiej Woli Z głową nad chmurami Wieżowce zmieniają panoramę Warszawy, wkrótce będziemy w czołówce najwyższych stolic w Europie – mówi Artur Sutor, Partner i dyrektor Działu Reprezentacji Najemców Biurowych w Cresa Polska. W 2021 roku, w sąsiedztwie Dworca Centralnego, ukończony zostanie najwyższy – nie tylko w Polsce, ale i w całej Unii Europejskiej – budynek Varso Tower. Razem z iglicą będzie miał 310 m, dla porównania – do dzisiaj najwyższy w kraju – Pałac Kultury i Nauki ma 237 m. Varso Tower zaoferuje najemcom biurowym ponad 66 tys. mkw. nowoczesnej powierzchni. Drapacze chmur rosną głównie w okolicach Ronda Daszyńskiego i ulicy Towarowej, w kierunku których od kilku lat przesuwa się biznesowe centrum stolicy. Większość biurowych wież będzie oddawana do użytku w kilkumiesięcznych odstępach przez najbliższe trzy lata. Jako pierwsze zostaną oddane – Mennica Legacy Tower – jeszcze w tym roku, oraz Skyliner czy The Warsaw Hub – w przyszłym. Powierzchnia biurowa 11 budynków wysokościowych mierzących powyżej 100 m, które są w trakcie realizacji lub na zaawansowanym etapie przygotowania, wynosi ponad 570.000 mkw. Ich łączna wysokość to prawie 1,7 km (licząc tylko wysokość do dachu). Dla przykładu wysokość istniejących już 13 wież biurowych to także około 1,7 km. Idziemy na rekord. Panorama miasta za kilka lat zmieni się diametralnie. Dodatkowo kilka spektakularnych obiektów jest jeszcze w fazie projektowania, np. Warsaw One przy Rondzie ONZ (dawny Ilmet), Nowa Emilia przy E. Plater, Łucka 7/9 czy inwestycja przy placu Grzybowskim. W Warszawie powstają także wysokościowe projekty mieszkaniowe czy hotelowe. Stolica się zmienia, a projekty realizują u nas światowej sławy biura architektoniczne.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Ryszard Kowalczyk; Jerzy Skrzypczak; Wojciech Olenski History, Theory & Criticism Politics, History, and Height in Warsaw This paper describes the present high-rise boom in Warsaw, which is related to unprecedented development of the capital of Poland in the last 15 years and the spatial expansion of a high-rise zone created 40 years ago on the western side of the city center. Today, Warsaw is ranked fifth in Europe in terms of the number of high-rises and is considered the second-most preferred city in Europe (after London) for high-rise investment (see Table 1). The contemporary Ryszard Kowalczyk Jerzy Skrzypczak skyline of Warsaw combines the historic panorama of the Old Town complex (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980) with a large cluster of modern sky- scrapers around the centrally located Palace of Culture and Science. For the past five years, by using 3-D computer simulations, it has been possible for urban planners to design a future city skyline with new skyscrapers while maintaining visual protection of the Old Town silhouette. Wojciech Olenski Introduction will occur in the near future (see Table 2), as the next ten high-rises are planned here, half of Authors The contemporary skyline of Warsaw, as seen which will exceed 200 meters in height.
