Capital Fort, Office skyscraper in Sofia, Bulgaria
Capital Fort is an office tower in Sofia, Bulgaria, rising 126 meters with 28 floors above ground and 2 basement levels in a glass and steel structure. The building houses modern office spaces alongside retail areas designed to serve as a central business destination.
Construction started on 29 January 2010 with a groundbreaking attended by then regional development minister Rosen Plevneliev. The structural frame was finished in November 2012, and the building was topped out that year. The project was developed by Fort Noks, with concept design by WKK working at Atkins and A&A Architects as local architect of record; the investment was estimated at €60–80 million.
Capital Fort appears in two Hollywood films: Memory with Liam Neeson and Monica Bellucci, and Subservience with Michele Morrone and Megan Fox. Its main tenants in October 2015 included Visteon (7,300 m²) and Skrill (5,000 m²), alongside OMV and Concentrix Services Bulgaria.
The building has two basement levels with parking for around 750 vehicles and offers direct access to Tsarigradsko Shose Metro Station. Visitors can easily arrive by public transportation and find ample parking if traveling by car.
The tower's curved glass front, banded in white and crowned with pointed fins, echoes the Burj Al Arab in Dubai: the concept was drawn by WKK while at Atkins, the firm behind that hotel. The building also appears in the films Memory with Liam Neeson and Subservience with Megan Fox.
