Crystal Palace, Ljubljana, Modern skyscraper in Jarše, Slovenia

Crystal Palace is an 89-metre, 20-storey skyscraper in the BTC City shopping centre in Nove Jarše. Its supporting columns jut outward up to the second floor, after which the tower tapers toward the top. It holds high-end stores, business offices, a wellness centre, a congress hall with 200 seats, and a three-level restaurant for 400 guests.

The foundation stone was laid on 15 May 2009 for a tower originally planned above 100 metres. Finishing the base below the second floor took almost a year; above it the structure rose one storey every eight days, reaching 89 metres in September 2010. Architects Brane Smole and Denis Simčič designed it for BTC d.d. and Nuba d.o.o., which invested 54 million euros through the joint company Skai center. It opened in May 2011.

The tower is part of BTC City, a shopping complex in Nove Jarše, and its investors were the companies BTC d.d. and Nuba d.o.o., which set up Skai center to manage the project. Its top floor holds the highest-situated confectionery in Slovenia, and the complex also has a covered market square and a three-floor restaurant seating 400 guests.

The tower stands on Šmartinska cesta in Nove Jarše, inside the BTC City complex, with three garage levels holding 620 parking spaces. Two panoramic lifts serve the upper floors, and a covered market hall links the entrances. The congress hall seats 200, and the three-level restaurant seats 400 guests.

The roof was meant to carry a helipad, but it was never built because of Slovene air traffic regulations; the owners still intend to add one. The tower was first planned to exceed 100 metres, yet the finished building stands at 89 metres.
